That would be interesting. Of course, some of the neighbors would complain about the choice of tune, I suppose. But if it were a church, for example, then there could be a music like that of bells in some way when the wind comes through. Or maybe the world's largest set of wind chimes...

That's what it's like in San fransisco cause the bridge now hymns

In San Francisco, they built a luxury-condo tower, and many units were sold. After people moved in, they realized the tower has to be condemned, because it was built on uneven ground, and is tilting.

The only way to know where the limits are is to push them. I'm afraid this building is going to teach some very hard lessons. Lessons common sense should have taught its designers already. It is at least 30% too tall for its footprint. It will not handle a hurricane as well as other structures.

We might work on the title a little bit but thanks

The elevators open up directly in the apartments... How do they secure the apartments from each other once you get in the elevator? Perhaps an addictional entry code within the elevator?

I love inequality. Nobody owes me a thing and I don't owe them any of what my own hard work affords me.

​@@georgemallory797 It's nice that you feel rewarded and satisfied by the work you do. But I don't think inequality has anything to do with how hard you work honestly. I know I'm just stating the obvious here, but low wage essential jobs tend to be a lot tougher than any CEO position. Also, sharing equally doesn't have to mean people owe you anything. You can just share for the sake of sharing.

@@RobinOttens No objection to voluntary sharing, but do not coerce sharing to decrease inequality. And do not conflate an essential service - many of which are physically demanding, like construction, truck driving, cleaning - with people essential to perform a service, like surgeons, lawyers, researchers.

@@georgemallory797 see, I'm of the mind that fortune breeds a kind of responsibility to the less fortunate.

The areas of the city with close to the surface bedrock are usually the areas with the tallest buildings. Anchoring to bedrock is preferred when possible. In Chicago they have to build raft like structure as the foundation since they built that city on a swamp, and the bed rock is deep. Some of the early buildings had to have their basements rebuilt as the walls are sinking, but the floors didn't

Me too. I have a bad feeling that they're cutting corners on safety to get those extreme dimensions. It could end up like Sydney Opal Tower from Australia where the residents get evacuated and lose confidence in safety of the building.

I was just there a few days ago. It's so tall and thin, jud looking at it from the bottom looks like someone just stuck a glass toothpick into the ground when you look at it all the way up. It's actually incredible how they did it

Acrophobia alert ! Yes, I once visited the Scotia Plaza in Toronto, Canada which is a narrow building, although not this narrow, and all I could think about was what if it toppled over from the wind.

When you consider money, over safety.

Yet to mention, is it safe due wind can blow thin buildings away.

Thats capitalism baby fuck yea!!, the trick is to mix strong capitalism with a sprinkle of socialism, then you get countries like finland, norway, sweden, denmark. nordic countries which are considered to be the most developed nations in the world, people pay high taxes but end up saving money cause everything essential is free thats why there is no homelessness in those countries. they have achieved the perfect western society.

@Mike Bailey, Hey bro. I've never been to Las Cruces as I live in the NW part or the state and only make it as far as Albuquerque. But I can tell ya what I feel about New Mexico. I'm Native American (Navajo) and lived in AZ/NM most of my life. My perception of the state is very positive. It is called "The Land of Enchantment" because of the gorgeous scenery/wilderness. It is very open and can be sparsely populated. But head to ABQ and you'll be amongst an almost one million people metro made up of mostly hispanics, whites, and reds (me ayyyyyy lol). Many transplants relocate to ABQ as it's the largest city in the state. Las Cruces would be the 2nd largest, but unfortunately I have never been there in my 35 years. From what I know it's a college town (NMSU) and seems to be ok/nice. But it can get very hot, but not like Phoenix hot. But still in the 100's hot. But back to the state as a whole, it has lovely weather. Winters are not crazy, it has a mostly pleasant arid heat, and it very dry with lots of dirt and no greenery. That is except during monsoon season when the desert comes alive! The daily downpours bring cooler temps with pleasant dew points in the 50's from end of July to early September. Of course these are the things I like about NM, but there's the bad things too like high property crime, poverty, poor education, and lack of greenery. But still, I enjoy it here. However when I was in my teens/early twenties I friggin' hated it here. NM isn't everyone's cup of tea. But I've grown to appreciate it for what it is. Best way to do that is come for a visit and meet the locals. Cheers mate.

@@mlc4495 are you kidding? air rights and strict urban planning are the best things that could happen to a skyline. You want New York to look like Dubai or Hong Kong?

@@mlc4495 No it doesn't. If buyers and sellers are both willing, your opinion is irrelevant and incorrect.

@@LittleMissSmallPaw Those are two different things. Air rights are bought and sold on the free market, allowing those who value it most to buy it at the highest price. "Strict urban planning" is usually top-down, rule-by-fiat approach that imposes zoning restrictions on private landowners, regardless of what the market conditions dictate. The first is good, the second is not. New York and Hong Kong (and increasingly Dubai) already look alike. Not sure what point you are trying to make there.

Yeahhhh💪🔥

That's so true! 😎

I don't. London is unaffordable as is and I've seen to many historical buildings and streets become just another set of expensive apartments.

That probably won't happen since the earth in London is too soft to build that many tall buildings. The Shard alone was quite difficult to build because of that

Not necessarily, an increasingly large number of people hate the look of modern skyscrapers and are bored of the same old steel and glass theme everywhere.
