I didnt say it was bad, I just think that 1-2 show-off structures is nice for any city but when it becomes the entire urban planning policy then it will hurt that city more then it will do good, and the money can go maybe to feeding 1 billion people who dont have food tonight

I hate it when ppl say that...How do u know they aren't already donating money...I mean, for god's sake, they're even building a stadium in Israel...!
They can't be expected to not build anything fancy, because ppl are starving and there's poverty in the world...Its not their responsibility...Sure, we should all help, which we do, but at the end of the day its not exactly our responsibility..

To solve the issue about starving people, first the poor countries debts have to be written of.
The second building looks really good btw. The environment people live in affects how happy they are etc :D.
