You knew this would happen, but try and hold out some hope.  I expect Hawthorne, Maywood and Fairmont to close within a couple years or maybe months, who knows.  Balmoral won't be too far behind and even Arlington could be gone.

Only hope is to get the votes in the senate to over ride it. Looks like they have enough in the house
