For others that want to analyze the before and after lists of non-core properties, I captured them when they were first posted, and again after they were edited, separating the removed properties into a third list. For your convenience:
I'm not going to fall for the trap of automatically poo-pooing everything that comes out of the Trump administration (although I will if it's done illegally, even if I like it). There are certainly lots of government buildings that could be sold. Near me is an old (old) disused army base in...
...neighborhood that would be better used by the private sector. Could be turned into apartments or something. RN it's just taking up valuable real estate. So let's not discredit the anti-Trump movement with a kneejerk defense of the status quo. I'm saying that to myself too. Let's say some of...
...these buildings aren't being used and were marked for possible sale years ago, hence their appearance on this list. And we make a stink about the _general notion_ of selling government buildings. Then right-wing media will report for a week about those crazy libs opposed to selling empty...
...buildings. They won't talk about the FBI headquarters or anything like that, but because us anti-Trumpers got overzealous in our response, it's enough to discredit us (in their eyes). And many of these people are in principle persuadable to a degree. But not if we reinforce their preconceptions.
Track these properties
They will be bought by the an arm of a big investment corporations ( State Street, Blackwater, Vanguard, Fidelity, UBS) and rented back to us.
The Ponzi scheme is right here.

The fact there's 140 million ppl who want this stopped dead, and it still happening is embarrassing to watch. The alternative is the world will end up having to intercede later on, with those too feeble today.
Will Trump's billionaire buddies snap up these buildings as 'distressed' properties? Will the rest of the government be put up for sale? Will they go on a privatizing spree and then sell out management to their friends?
That the criminal syndicate running the country will sell to private equity so they can charge us rent on buildings we just owned. Or sell to Balaji and Tan for the cities they want the “gray” shirts to take over after they do San Fran. These people are weird and deadly serious.
The States can get surplus federal property before private sales, even if the don't need it for immediate use, they can hold-on to it until a new administration can restore it to its intended purpose.

It will be interesting to see how they are sold.
