Translation: "We've done next to nothing for the past fifty years, aside from enabling the drug trade that fuels the gangs, but now we're doing something about it! Pinky promise! BTW, do you want to buy a bridge?"

Please please please please. BPL has to go. They've had nearly 75 years to get their act together, and can't seem to figure it out. You'd have to have scrambled eggs for brains to expect them to turn things around now.

2. Call your buddy in Town Planning, and re-zone it as commercial
3. Develop your new commercial property for pennies on the dollar.

The postal service stopped working, and absolutely nobody noticed.
