:Many of these buildings are small buildings that have been used for storage or housing landscaping equipment on larger campuses.  There is now increased security at VA facilities, and access to the specific building is in many cases tied to access to the VA campus.  One large VA building is in the middle of a state mental hospital, it would be difficult to turn it over to another purpose that requires a location that is welcoming to the public.  Finally, some Congressmen would resist reduced federal spending in their district.
