Alexander Phimister Proctor's 1935 sculpture Robert E. Lee and the Confederate Soldier, which Dallas City Hall snatched out of the former Lee Park in September 2017, sold Wednesday morning for more than $1 million.
To be exact, the winning bid was $1,435,000. Assuming the winning bidder doesn't come up short when the bill comes due. (But the city required all bidders to put down a $50,000 deposit just to participate. To make sure, you know, they were serious)
But Where Will He Put It?

Will the city pay taxes on whatever profit they made?

Buy an old building or lot near Lee Park then bulldoze, replant and put up statue.

Another killer off the streets.
I hope the proceeds go to the NAACP to help with deseg and diversity efforts.

I don’t think you understand how 2019 progressivism and the Internet work

Person obviously has cash to burn, but he’d spend 15-25x what he paid for the statue on land in that area.
