Now isn't this more like what we thought the future would be?

The article is self explanatory. I thought this actually looked really cool so I didn't put in GD. And it could maybe be open for some serious discussions. Like obviously, this one thing is just in the planning stages, but what would it be like if this was eventually how we lived, in these little miniature cities? For some reason this is one thing I've always thought would be there in ""future". Maybe I watched Star Wars to much, like Cloud City or something, I dunno.

to be honest i'd just prefer another arms race but this is cool too

Wow...it looks a titty

Wow, that actually looks and sounds pretty sick and has a decent chance of getting done. I'd visit it if it actually gets built.

Looks like something out of a film. If it does get built it would be pretty cool, but i can't see it happening.

You know why Africa doesn't have any big buildings?

because they don't have to compensate for small a penis

I can't see it happening, they'll scrap it and build 2 or 3 normal interconnected towers instead

Or 2 or 3 normal giant interconnected statues of Putin.

Looks pretty cool, hope it gets done but who knows.

Putin is Time's man of the year. He deserves those statues dammit.

Well they say in the article that the guy building it has a history of getting stuff like this done. So who knows. What I want to know is why we never get this cool stuff in the states. I mean, we just have boring generic skyscrapers. But I guess those are pretty cool too. As far as I've seen, not a lot of other places around the world have huge skyscrapers like pretty much every major U.S. city does. Still, I want a titty city.
