Yup, North Korea is REALLY scary place to live, too much control.

I heard. Thankfully We live in USA!

A personal favorite of mine- the Ryugyong hotel in Pyongyang, North Korea- a symbol of human failure. Construction began in 1987 and was halted in 1992 due to shoddy construction. All Kim Jong-Il wanted was to feel like the tallest man in the whole wide world.

P.S. I know, Kim Il-Sung was still in control at that time, but please just humor me.

That is actually some ugly building I have ever seen and sorry, I don't like it all either, same goes to MetroGuy03!

Well the only reason why this is ugly because it's uncompleted. Somehow I like the shape and wonder what exactly it will look like when it's finished?

What happened to the building right now? A ghost building?

What skyscraper do you wish it would get built in your city but never did?

I wish there is one in my hometown of Canberra, but the government has resricted limits to the building code, but that is about to change anytime soon

Does your town have any proposed skyscraper that supposed to be built but never happened?

Tallest skyscrapers

I know it's not accurate but you get the idea, Metroguy03. It's a suburb of Sydney with population of 310,000.

310,000 in Sydney, is that what you are estimating?

He talked about the suburbs of Sydney not Sydney itself.

I just thought as itself, but 310,000 is impossible, cause it is more than 3 million!

Haha its all good! I heard that Sydney has over 4 million people now and still growing by now.

Yep, a crowded city!

 

[MetroGuy03]

Yep, a crowded city!

Haha! I love crowded cities! Seattle is somewhat crowded city too but Seattle only have 586,000 people with nearby 4 million people in metro area. Seattle is pretty dense because of complex geography.
