to take this off topic, the best example I saw of abandon skyscrapers was in Haiko, China/ (on Hinan Island). A city near 1 mil. and tons of skyscrapers from 15-40 stories that were abandon half completed. I think there was huge investment in the early 90's, and then the market disappeared. I'll look for some pictures....
