    Funding for buildings is sometimes driven by recurring donations in exchange for someone’s name on the building. These funds pay for deferred maintenance and renovations.

      yeah it’s cool that buildings are maintained and so on, but it’s cringe to pay a bunch of money for clout. rich people basically view botting IRL

        It’s similar to Kickstarter, where a certain level will get your name in the credits.
