AT&T starts moving workers out of Downtown Jacksonville

[vicupstate]

"The Business Journal reported in fall 2012 that AT&T was shopping Jacksonville's commercial real estate market for space and possibly looking to downsize."

I didn't see anything in the reference articles that mentioned panhandlers. It looks to me more like a cost of space and reorganization issue. 

They never would have said so, even if panhandling was the primary issue.  They know better than to needlessly invite controversy.  That said, I don't doubt that costs and space requirements were  the primary drivers of whatever the decision was.
