<p>[QUOTE=&quot;KikoBlueEyes, post: 493958, member: 8363&quot;]Very interesting article.&nbsp; I have some local experience with the same phenomenon.&nbsp; Historic houses, monumental items, etc. were &quot;donated&quot; to the city that I worked for with the expectation that the taxpayer would take over the cost of maintenance, capital improvement, storage and management in perpetuity of the things the direct descendants or businesses no longer want.&nbsp; In one case, I saw the meeting notes of non profit board consisting of family members, who cynically said they needed to find some city entity to take a house over while still retaining exclusive rights to use it for family events.&nbsp; They &quot;donated&quot; it to the library.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
