The Hillsborough / Tampa Florida county commissioners are soon going to decide on a zoning issue. If the backers of the zoning change prevail, they would have converted abandon property, with low value and that will flood, into an estimated $3,000,000 annual cash cow. In the process, I feel that they would have misled the commissioners.

Is this an animal shelter or a future pup tent city for Hillsborough’s homeless people?

This to me this is simply a project to make $ millions off of the sufferings of the Homeless in our county. It’s nothing more than exploration of the homeless.
And in the process the zoning change will;

Lead to decrease home values of up to 25-45%,

Introduce undesirable criminal elements and activity into established family neighborhoods,

Discourage new investments in the area.

With the new zoning change, the land owner will be;  $ Mooooo, $ mooooo, $ moooo, mooooo, $ moooo-ing all their way to the bank.

I have studied this proposal in detail; I must say I am very impressed by the way the land owners are pulling this off. I am so impressed that I am going to spread word so others would have the same knowledge so you too can make millions $ off your land.

So here it is, step by step, of how you convert abandon property into millions of dollars annually;

Review your holdings in real estate in the county.
Pick the parcel that’s abandon, hard to resell, or that floods, or that’s the least desirable.

Decide on a noble cause with a wide humanitarian appeal value.

Here are two suggested causes;

Become a phony/ fake farmer, acquire a herd of rent-A-cows and apply for County Greenbelt protection. Some real estate developers often get Greenbelt protection to save from paying huge property taxes until they sell the property for millions of dollars. They simply rent cows. (Greenbelt offer a huge reduction in property taxes for legitimate faming activities)

That would not work because The Hillsborough County Property Appraiser, Mr. Rob Turner, will bust you in a heartbeat. He has a top secret and very aggressive “Greenbelt Patrol”. The Greenbelt patrol chief is Mr. Paul DeGuenther, Director of Agriculture. This patrol carefully reviews all applications for Greenbelt protection. They make regular onsite inspections and make continous audits of Greenbelt properties and suspected phony Greenbelt properties. They are extremely critical of Greenbelt applications requests. If they suspect that a phony farmer is applying for Greenbelt protection, they will be all over it in no time. The Greenbelt patrol will get you.

$ Mooooo, $ mooooo, $ moooo, mooooo, $ moooo

Start a shelter to feed and house the homeless. Acquire a herd of homeless people.  Now this is a very noble cause. We all can relate to that because the estimates vary on the amount of homeless individuals in Hillsborough County.  Some figures run up to 15,000. Others say it’s less than 8,000.

Whatever the number is, these homeless individual need housing and food.

Pick number B.

Create a religious charity or affiliate your organization with a religious charity.

That way you can always say, ” God spoke to you and told you to start this project to feed and shelter the Homeless”.

People never questions those on a mission from God, especially not politicians and other devoted religious people.

Lobby gently and heavenly before the Hillsborough County commissioners.

When you speak in from of the Hillsborough Commissioners at a public hearing, follow this script carefully,

Be sure to bring Father Joshua wearing his robe and Sister Terisita in her Nun outfit when you appear before the Commissioners.

People of The Cloth make heavenly impressions. And when you all speak,  mention The Lord’s name many times, Jesus Christ many times and Biblical verses often.

Keep a bible visible in one of your presenter’s hands.
Have someone from your group saying the Lord’s prayers on the front row with their hands in a prayer position and looking up.

Use as, “for example”, a similar set up in another county.

But don’t tell the commissioners the following about that other place;

1. They have a failure rate of 84%. People still homeless after 90 days of living there.
2. Let the commission think that any pup tents would temporary.
( In reality you know that your organization won’t be building any structures. You will always need an easy
exit when the $ mooola stops coming in. You could just roll up your pup tents)
3. There have been scores police incidents and collectedly some of the residents have hundreds of arrests. These arrests include drug use, rape, thefts and murder.
4. The place resembles and animal shelter,
5. That most if not all of the services, tents, and food is donated free,
6. That the facility is not open for on demand inspections,
7. That the facility is miles away from homeless services and treatment facilities,
8. That the Homeless Coalition of Hillsborough County and its 65 member homeless organization will never approve of such a pup tent city project,

And for God Sake, do not and I repeat, do not mention any word about the $2.4 millions or so dollars raked in during the first year of operations.
NEVER NEVER mention that our books will never be open for an audit of how much profit we will be making because the land is paid for and
most of the services and supplies will be donated.

$ Mooooo, $ mooooo, $ moooo, mooooo, $ moooo

If you should fail on round 1 and not get an approval, use an around about trick of having
the whole county housing code change to allow that all non-profits to be exempt from county’s housing code.

Now that I think about it, it is actually cheaper to put a herd of homeless adults on the property than it is to put cows there. With cows, you have to feed them, make sure they are in good health (vaccinations), and provide adequate fencing so they do not wander around the community.  With homeless people in tents, all you have to do is get someone to donate a tent!  The latest recommended conditions don’t even require fencing, doesn’t require that the homeless be fed, and doesn’t require them to provide health care for them.  Any profit realized by selling a cow on the market is offset by the cost of taking care of them.  It is definitely more profitable to put herds of homeless on the property.  You don’t have to wait for a return - you just sit back and collect millions in tax dollars in governments, the public and other charities.

Now you have the free scoop on how to make millions of dollars on abandon parcels of land.
