I can see where you are coming from but, these days, a lot of kids hang about on the streets causing trouble simply because they are bored and don't have anything else to do.
As Stripey mentioned, there used to be plenty of Youth Clubs, etc for kids but these days they seem to be few and far between.
Instead of wasting millions of pounds renting and refurbishing Marischal College, the Council could save Doonies and the animals there. Along with funding youth clubs and sports centres for kids. Therefore, reducing the problem of kids hanging about on the streets and help to reduce the rates of childhood obesity.
The Council seems to be only looking out for themselves, not for the people of Aberdeen. It's a disgrace.
