Anytime I want to put up a 150-story building, I don't even have to deal with Nimby's!

If I were to be an architect, I'd want to build everything like they do in Mexico, concrete all the way, and that would get me fired the first week, my insistence upon it, even a 2-story apartment building with a rooftop deck!
It does not matter what state or city, all these apartment look like they came out of a cookie cutter machine. They all came from one architect.
