So you're ok with the city wasting millions of dollars?
Do you pay taxes in philly?
What else could this money be used for?
How about paving more roads, or cleaning more streets or hiring more teachers etc etc etc
Perhaps the centrality of the location should have been considered before the city invested $50M in the renovation of the building at 46th and Market. IMO the location of the headquarters matters little except for the cops that want easy access to 676 and 95.
As to the city "putting something" in the 46th & Market building, for this to make sense the city will have to "put something" in the building that would merit the $50M construction cost, can't think of what that would be-the building is quite large.
And the fact that the building sat mostly empty for so many years speaks to the fact that there is little interest in it from the private sector.
