To be fair, it is immensely complicated and costly to renovate a building that old compared to building a new one. When the Superman Building was constructed they didn’t have to take into consideration the requirements of a modern building

I'm tired of that answer man. I've spent my whole life believing people when they say its complicated only to visit other states and watch them easily succeed in the places that our state drops the ball. There's so much smoke and mirrors here that even simple things need to be fought over to get done. I shouldn't have to check a ballot box on whether I want my roads to be maintained properly. I shouldn't have to pay double my previous utility bill in order to modernize a power grid. These things should have been looked after. But somehow it always ends up falling on the taxpayers lap to get done. I'm not saying fixing a building isn't hard work but honestly with our track record I just don't believe these people anymore.

I agree with you but I just know as an engineer in construction I’d much rather build a new building then renovate an existing one. Don’t blame me I’m not the state lol
