How to make $3,000,000 on abandon land, mislead the Commissioners with a Homeless PUP TENT CITY.
Published: October 09, 2009
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.

Where can I get a herd of homeless people cheap? Is there any vacant land available near Commissioner Ferlita’s house?
Suggest removalSeriously, this is a horrible transgression against the poorest of the poor - our homeless population. I am sure that if they open this tent city, local law enforcement will give many of the least desirable the option of jail or tent city. If they are smart they will choose jail - a/c, running water and 3 square meals a day.

So what happened to the “10 Year Plan” by the Homeless Coalition of Hills Co? Didn’t we pay them to come up with a decent plan, have these nice folks write for Federal $$ and receive some “moola” to help the homeless? From what I’ve heard - they have a 90% success rate in doing just that! So, why do we want to see pup tents in every undeveloped piece of property in Hills Co.? (Charities don’t pay taxes you know!)
So if the deal here is not really about helping the homeless, and the Churches don’t pay taxes, then why bring all the crime & problems, etc. into our county? Would it be that it’s political aspirations to “clear the snakes” out of the city before running for mayor? Hmmm….
Or maybe it’s to become the new Mecca of Homeless Services for the entire Southeast Region of the USA?
And btw - let’s don’t put our $$ in the coffers of BOCCers that vote for new code to make every empty lot in Hills. Co. a dumping ground for the homeless.
Go Get’Em Al!

I hope you send this to the editors of the
Suggest removalTampa Tribune. That made me sick. Are they
in bed with Rose Ferlita. She will never make mayor nor get re-elected and that goes
for anyone else who votes for this. I was never out pounding the pavements before but I will be now and ALL the people I know will be out there against her.

Mr. Mccray,
Your article is ON POINT!!! It could be read as comedy if it weren’t true! Two years ago, Catholic Charities proposed to place an apartment complex for low-income people on that same land. Myself and other Neighbors listened, commented and supported that idea upon getting all of the facts. However, after 6 months of not hearing anything at all on the issue, we learned that they weren’t able to secure financing. We didn’t get this answer from that of Catholic Charities, but from Bank of America! Why now, has it been changed? We were willing to jump onboard with Catholic Charities at that time, but this isn’t asking for assistance. They are trying to bambozzle their way of doing things onto us whether we like it or not! Thank you again Mr. Al Mccray, for raising the awareness on this farce of another failed Tent City, like that of Pinellas Hope.
