He leaves a bad taste in many Chicagoans' mouths because he's a shitty, ruthless, unethical person, so perhaps I'm a little biased, but still doesn't wash away his filth in other areas.
I would love nothing more than a really cool new skyscraper in DT Miami, and designed by Norman Foster no less! But it's a Kenny joint, so the appeal is slightly diminished for me personally.
Him, Musk and Bezos got this weird thing that once they made it big they decided to have a mid-life crisis and transform into these weird pseudo-celebrity douche nerds.

Anyways I’m sure this building will be marvelous. Dude has an ego, and that will show in the design, Miami skyscraper nerds are lucky.
