The buyers are smart. They'll get there money back 10 fold, and it will come from you, the taxpayer. You see the government pays most of the rent to the property owner when it is rented to people who've found a way to steal from the hard working people via the government. This place will be a great breeding ground for the "less fortunate" criminals who already plague most of downtown.
Bulldoze it and turn it into a theme park.
