I would be happy to welcome non-Masons.   Logic is good for everyone.   In this case, the fact that the School District hasn't been successful at selling the property on good terms doesn't seem to particularly indicate malfeasance, at least not with available information.   Now, the current financial shortfall and the astounding growth in administrative personnel at the District office level would be worth exploring.   But the district didn't buy this plot of land in order to make a profit selling it.
