Yes. Let's take our cities culture and landmarks and auction them off to the highest bidding asshole. They sold the Chrysler Building and I think are attempting to renovate iit nto a partial hotel or something.

Wasn't it sold from one private owner to another? Like, what else should be done with it?

Not really sure I'd trust the city itself with buying it, renovating it, and finding tenants to lease space in it.

The building was built by a private citizen, owned by private citizens and auctioned off to another private citizen. The government never built or owned this place, don’t know what you’re complaining about it

The problem was that it was sold to a foreign company. This is an American company.

I mean, if it’s up to this sub, the flatiron building would be torn down and turned into a skyscraper.
