Non-profit means the owners of a company do not get to keep the profits as cash. It usually means any income greater than expenses is invested back into the improvement of the business. A new office that allows for more business, instead of a swimming pool at the CEO's mansion, is precisely the point. It means he employees don't need to sweat or freeze in a building too old for effective HVAC. It means never having to say to visitors "we're sorry this place is a dump and smells like cabbage." It means not feeling like you're still doing college radio when you're in your fifties and every American hipster knows the sound of your voice. It probably took them a crazy long time to raise this money. It's like saying there is no need to build new schools because the kids are such brats. I have to stop typing before I say something I regret.
Pshaw. Non-profits, large ones, are often run for the benefit of their management and employees. Those government benefit munching guys at NPR built themselves a palace. Class B office space is not something to be ashamed of. Most small businesses in American would be pleased to move into "B" space. On the other hand, most small businesses in America don't receive cash from people's taxes, get valuable spectrum for free, and get to pretend to be holier-than-thou. -XC
