I want them to seize the Trump tower and turn it into low-income housing and a job training/community college with whatever liquid assets they do squeeze out of him. Use the disgorgement to help the people of New York have better lives.
Turn it into the Michelle Obama Immigration Assistance Center and Abortion Clinic
Change it to Alice Paul and we might have something going there. (But housing, job training, and education are some of the most needed things in low-income communities.)
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alice_Paul (Of note, Alice Paul was against abortion as were many of the suffragettes as they viewed it as a form of exploitation. However, her legacy as a leader in the women's rights movement and in nonviolent protest are very important to world history as a whole. There is some debate about this, but it has been claimed that Ghandi kept correspondence with her and learned from her example of nonviolent protest.)
His solid gold penthouse could be broken down for some Cash 4 Gold.
They could fund the community college in perpetuity if they auctioned off all his gaudy crap to his cult.
I do not
What do you think would be a good use for the buildings they are almost inevitably going to seize?
