Using your example, why is the city building a new library? The current one is usable, even though it's old, undersized and outdated... But it's usable.

Again - no one is making money from the library. If the city wants to spend money on it than that's a completely different debate.
If someone owned the library and made money off it, then they should build a new one. Since no one makes money off it, it falls to to the city to build it or not have a library (or have an old outdated one)
