Your fake sarcasm can be smelled a mile away. Next time try and be a little more subtle.

New York peaked waaaaay earlier than Dubai. There was different architectural designs and materials used back then. New York has a lot of things that Dubai doesn't have, such as history and character.

I don't think you quite understand what the term "ghetto" means either.

I really don't understand the apparent secrecy surrounding this tower. I can understand their decision to withhold the design from the public for a whole, but as a whole there is much too little information about what's going on with this project.
