    Gee, I wonder why more people don't build giant castles with 1000 rooms requiring a small army of cleaners and grounds keepers in order to keep it maintained. It seems so practical!

      We literally have skyscrappers, tho. Like, far larger and more architecturally complex. They're significantly more expensive to build. They've got all sorts of modern amenities. They're well-insulated and highly durable. They look nicer.

      Go stack this shithole up against the Burj Khalifa. Its completely washed. Then go check out Marina Bay Sands Hotel in Singapore or Oriental Pearl Tower in Shanghai or the Tokyo Skytree or the Shard in London. All far larger and more dramatic. All requiring significantly more maintenance and support. All monuments to the abundant wealth and labor power of the region.

      People do build giant castles in the modern day. This nostalgia porn is pure ignorance.
