One of the most believable rumors is that the city is quick to unload the property onto Bluestone so they aren't stuck with the liability of the asbestos. The city knew about the asbestos all along. The second part of that rumor is that Bluestone will claim- after they gain title- that it's not financially feasible to remediate and restore the school and will have it razed. Bluestone has a history that anyone can look up on the internet that should raise red flags.
