If things are so bad, why won't they open their books to the city?
I think you're in a completely different argument.

I'm saying there is clearly a change in the economics or they wouldn't move from a revenue giver to a taker with their peers using the same model.

That's kind of obvious.

From there you can draw any conclusions you want. They say a new building would help generate more revenue, and you don't agree?
