The Hoover Building, the headquarters for the FBI, is falling apart. Only 53% of the space is usable, and so much concrete was tumbling down on pedestrians below that netting had to be installed. To repair it to make is usable would cost $1.7 billion.
The best option is to build a new headquarters at a cost of up to $2 billion while selling the existing site to developers for $500 million to fund it. But they don't have funding for the difference. So the formerly elite FBI is stuck in this rundown building for the indefinite future.
