My reaction can be summed up as :blink:
I imagine it started something like this:
-Hay, guise. How do we create economic growth rly fast?
-Dat's easy. We'll just build 64 million apartments, and employ millions of people to do it.
-Cool.
-Also, let's make them super expensive so 99.99% of the population can't afford them.
-Yes!
-And then we'll just keep on building more, forever.
Ten years later:
-Wait, what?
'cos clearly, someone in that scheme isn't too quick on the uptake.
I'd do some crazy stuff, too, if I had billions of unemployed peoplewillingworking for nothing. :idunno:
I'm sure the conversation went something like this:
CGuy1: Wouldn't it be kinda cool if we built replica cities?
CGuy2: Yeah.
CGuy1: Let's do it.
Workers begin building cities.
10 years go by...
CGuy2: The workers have finished like 5 of those replica cities you wanted.
CGuy1: :lol: What cities? [thinks to self he shouldn't talk about crazy shit when he's high]
