This list of 16 houses in Memphis and Nashville Tennessee for the total askng price of $283,700 plus closing costs that can be made fit for under $600,000 as an example of what the USCF could really do if it were interested rather than be the elitist organization it is. Establish a firm presence across America.

 

Justly to counter pose the two concepts of purchasing houses to rehab vs brand new construction, perhaps one can mention that these houses could be obtained at substantial and further discounts; and, that if the full ammount of the proposed $600,000 if it were to used to build a USCF headquarters were actualy used to build local chess clubs it is concievible that the USCF can purchase and rehab over 32 houses for the price of one headquarter site in Crossville Tennessee lend them to chess masters who agree to give back to the community raher than just play in chess tournaments for free, and a national system of chess education and activity can be established that incorporates activities which would have deeper meaning and lasting effect.

 

Houses such as these are not just available in Tennessee but all across the USA if you didn't know.
