I'm really conflicted about this. On the one hand, it's a really f***ing huge tower, and I love that. On the other, it's just a damn spike, totally boring apart from its height. And then there's the fact of who's building it - plutocratic gangster/thugs who are only rich because we're addicted to their oil, and can only build things like this because they're not accountable to their people. But I suppose there is some intrinsic benefit in pushing the envelope, so it might as well be these guys who put in the initial risk.
