In reply to PickAnotherID. I don't get what it gains by keeping these buildings empty? Total waste of money.

In reply to K. So all of these buildings sit empty?

The only thing that Scn listen to is money. If you started to fine them or double their council taxes for leaving buildings empty or not renovating them then you might (I say might) see some action. If you started to appropriate the buildings for the good of the city then you definitely would get some action. It’s time for councils to take back the city as Scn will not hand it to them.

In reply to The Merkabian. Having seen photos of the approach to Clearwater at sunset, it looks nice.

So what are the Scientrolls planning to do with all of the empty buildings in the town? Serious question.
East Grinstead, similar, but not the same.

It is all very strange. Some small cities in Japan are similar, a common pattern is for the railway station to be on one side of the historic town, and the other side to be newly built or just rural. From Akita station, for example, if one walks south-west, one is outside the urban zone in less than twenty minutes, closer to ten.

In several, the new side is dominated by a ferro-concrete monstrosity from a cult religion.

The best example is Hida Takamatsu, the beautiful old town is on one side of the station, the other side is very ugly, and the dominant structure is the world centre of mahikari, ‘the pure light’.

It is even more nonsensical than CoS, but has international fans, mainly beause part of the teaching is that dolls, toys, and other inanimate objects can be blessed, and bless their owners.

The street on the good side of the station is eerily silent very early, I suspect a cult takeover or standover operation. Last time I was there, it creeped me out, so I ran for a train to get away.

A few other towns are similar, nice old town on one side, giant ferro-concrete cult centre dominating the other, mahikari in Takayama is the worst for combination of lies and stupidity.

How long until the local government starts to sell off their own holdings to Scientology? How long until Scientology petitions to have their “zone” incorporated as a separate city? That would need to be done at the state level, but they’re clearly wily, to put it mildly.

In reply to Imogen. I agree. For most that are reading this, you won't see what downtown CW could be in your lifetime. Sadly it's to late. It's Cultwater, Florida. Scientology owns Clearwater and Los Angeles, as they could get away with murder in both places.

The greatest trick the devil ever pulled was convincing people he didn’t exist.
Clearwater requires the services of an exorcist.

To be honest I don’t think clearwater will ever be released from the control of Scientology. Even if Scientology losses the battle they still have so much money that the could still own so much of clearwater.

They won’t give back what they have. They want to realize what they promised. What others want is irrelevant. They are letting the core of the city die. If the city is unattractive enough, the city management is taken over. Clearwater is said to be the origin of a new civilization. Scientology City.
