      If we make these huge towers, we can have recreation, work and living all under one roof!

          Pretty sure at this point it’d be more of a “But I don’t wanna spend an extra penny on this prooooojeeeeeect” kinda deal. I know people who would definitely do it, but the bigger problem is getting people in power to actually pay to have it done.

          Though I do agree there are so many people here in America who would complain that it’s too hard.

          I think the current problem is more “it’s risky and hasn’t been tested much”

          And yes, it’s obviously still hard.

        Good thing they have suspended ceilings so it’s easier to install anything needed from below then!
