In essence, the property is a government entity owned commercial building, off the interstate 10 gateway (making it highly visible), blocks from downtown El Paso.

Nor can you use government-sounding names like "Department" or "Agency".

I know there has been a lot of talk about the government programs/spending on this forum lately.

That's all, a mutual fund of government securities won't earn much, but it's better than the wildest universal policy after costs.

I do it that way because some government checks to tenants don't arrive until the 3rd.

There are laws that are governed by municipalities, I don't need HOA to force additional restriction on me or my tenant such as: Cannot park cars overnight in my own driveway for instance and other nonsense.I own one property in HOA community and I vowed never again.

Like the US situation, it is ultimately some very large institutions that bought this debt (CMOs etc for the US situation, government bonds for the European situation.)

This is the one that really boils my blood since bailing out AIG also seems to be part of the plan of bailing out Goldman...( Not only too big to fail but too powerful as well...)I'm against the concept of bail out myself as well, however in this case I don't think we had a choice.The part that strikes me the most is the fact that the government lends the banks money at zero interest and they all turn around and charge us an arm and a leg...

I have no issue with zoning and environmental laws, but those are imposed by the governing bodies (City, county, state, etc).
