Er, Le Corbusier would have loved this. Le Corbusier WANTED people to live in tower blocks.

James Howard Kunstler, a member of the New Urbanism movement, has criticised Le Corbusier's approach to urban planning as destructive and wasteful:

Le Corbusier [was] ... the leading architectural hoodoo-meister of Early High Modernism, whose 1925 Plan Voisin for Paris proposed to knock down the entire Marais district on the Right Bank and replace it with rows of identical towers set between freeways. Luckily for Paris, the city officials laughed at him every time he came back with the scheme over the next forty years – and Corb was nothing if not a relentless self-promoter.

I like you.

I can certainly understand why people would be upset, but a part of it is from the mistaken belief that the money went nowhere. That billion dollars went into the pockets of a loooot of construction workers, material manufacturers, and interior designers; a billion dollars, back into the economy. Those men and women all have families to feed, and their money filters down nicely. Plus, there's 400 people as permanent staff on there to boot, which is 400 fewer people unemployed.

Just hope the architect who made this eyesore did it under duress, because it is ugly as sin.

>>2654347 this is the only non-shit post in this entire fucking awful thread.

Also, too many Chinese trolls. Paying people to write hate on the Internet... another great step forward for humanity thanks to the Chinese Communist Party.
