Because then the group that wants it for their personal clubhouse would have to pay rent and act in a financially responsible manner. I shudder to think how much HRM money has been doled out to the current bunch over the years thanks to their buddy on Council.
I suspect there are very few viable business cases that would tempt any capable group to want to take this building on by purchasing and renovating it. The cost just to bring it up to code would be massive in itself. Therefore it may be likely that HRM will get stuck with it and need to pour millions into it. Perhaps they can stick the Planning offices there.
