“We let the qualified buyers participate in a competitive bidding process and see where the market goes with it,” Devine told the Eagle.
Doesn't this logic reflect the same expectation of gambling or buying a lottery ticket? You don't know if you are going to win big or if you're just going to come out even or lose your $1 investment.
How do they know there's not going to be another market or housing crash the next day and get pennies for their properties?
How can they honestly say: "...see where the market goes with it" and at the same time condone other for playing lottery tickets or gambling or leaving things to chance like not getting higher education.
I don't think I'm making any sense but I hope you get the point.
