It's mind boggling that IBM built an office downtown

It's not mind boggling IBM didn't build that building the state did that via some fancy wording, tax incentives, management deal etc... They basically paid them to come here and fluff up the economy and will simply leave once that deal run out because the infrastructure and quality of life suck so bad there. It'll be no reason to stay once free rent and tax breaks reach a limit. Call it falsely inflated economy by the local and state government. The whole downtown thing isn't TRUE growth artificial government funded that'll crash.

They didn't. The state and local government paid for the building and it is owned by a local entity.
