The wife may love it more than you think.  She'd be free of you while you took residence somewhere else, i.e. The Northern Lights Inn.

Chris how long have you lived in this city?  I've been here since before that eyesore was built.  There was a fire there, many years ago and people died in that fire.  If vagrants are entering the building, sleeping, making fires etc., then it could go up in smoke again.  

You callously say that the police and firefighters know the risk they took on when they hired on.  You sound just like Obama's nephew and Hillary's lost son.  When did you last do anything in this city to attempt to make it a safer place to live?  Better yet... when did you last put your life on the line protecting this city for others to safely reside within?  

Those that are first responders need all the support WE as a community can offer to back them while they literally rush in to put out the fires.
