[Dalton]

Even completed, this would still be a hideous evil-looking eyesore. They should demo it and start over on a smaller scale.

My recollection is that the structure was being airbrushed out of city photos, doesn't appear on maps and was to be completely ignored when speaking to foreign visitors. Furthermore, reports were that it was poorly constructed, and 20 years of decay can't have helped matters. My guess is that, to save face, the government will announce a "new and improved" design (probably taller), demolish the current work with great fanfare, and then quietly leave the site empty. They really just want to get rid of this embarrassment.
