Is there still a proposal for a 300m tower in Edmonton?

Naw, Moscow has some pretty terrible skyscrapers. It's like they couldn't decide on a style so built knock offs from around the globe. Personally I find it to be one of the tackiest skylines anywhere.

I like all of them except for that twisted thing. Too much pomo, too little neo-futurism.

Fair enough given that there wouldn't be any skyscrapers if not for capitalism.

Seriously, what does anything about skyscrapers have to do with capitalism like it's a bad thing? How can you be a skyscraper fan and hate the thing that makes them possible?
