they have already bought up a couple of businesses -- I believe a tire shop or gas station and some other building using shell companies so they wouldn't raise the ire of city council

"Although Shaw told the Times that the church "has no further plans to expand our campus downtown," an anonymous buyer over the past month acquired the city's largest office tower and a nearby auto garage through shell companies, prompting elected officials to assume the church is involved."
This asshole cult brings nothing to the city of Clearwater. They are a blight. You go downtown near their Flag Base campus and it's so bizarre--hundreds of people walking around in these uniforms like airline flight attendants. Nope, it's Scientologists. And god forbid you accidentally turn into the parking area for the Fort Harrison Hotel (their spiritual headquarters) and need to turn around, like I did last year. It truly was an accident and I thought I was turning down one street but I turned into the parking lot by mistake. Did a turn around and I thought they were going to pull me out of the car and beat me. Shaking fists, screaming...um, 3 point turn in a Subaru Forester, dude. Calm down. Go get audited.
