      <![CDATA[spacelevator chords are engineered to break free from a near-ground position, and "recoil" upwards.  it is a common fear that falling spacelevator cables would cause widespread damage, when, in fact there are less deaths each year from such incidents than from automobile accidents.

      <![CDATA[Given the way the leaders in Dubai treat their labor-force, particularly foreigners, it's really not surprising this guy would prefer to remain in the elevated, isolated, uncrowded, and presumably far-less-than-squalid conditions his fellow construction workers have to face at the end of their work-shifts.

      <![CDATA[Fnarf, you're probably right.  But at the point where the bar, gym, school, and work are all in the same building, there are some people who will just never leave.  I mean, Forks is overrated, Yellowstone is crowded most of the time, and you could get killed climbing Mt. Rainier.  Kind of Blade Runner meets Fifth Element, minus the aircars.  But I could be wrong.<br />

But yes, this does look like Will's spoogetacular wonderland.

      <![CDATA[Charles, you are on a roll.  Great post.<br />
<br />
I like to think that the game changer is that skyscrapers are getting so tall that some humans will just never get down to ground level, and just live their whole lives at altitude.<br />
<br />
Which is nice from a carbon-footprint standpoint.
