Thriving cities require much more than museums. Also, hilarious to hear the words "Gehry" and "organic" in the same sentence.

And here in the USA we have a hard time fixing our highway’s. The USA is lagging behind the times. Our political discourse gets in the way of doing anything great. Those days are gone. Politics get in the way. The world is watching us fighting over culture wars and they see that as weakness. Jan 6 was just the beginning.

Lol, I'm laughing at all people like you, you are talking like your country is no violating the human rights at all!!!

They have all human rights. 24/7 running water, food of all kind in low price, homes, cars, jobs, security, comfortability, amenities, etc.. What "rights" are you talking about? Males not being able to legally fu*k another guy anus? LGBT madness? Or The totally not suitable democracy that will never work in Arabia because its native society is tribal?

The architecture is great but social issues have yet to evolve. Many of these building have not solved social issues, political, religious and above all these building wear made using laborer's from other country badly paid and living in bad condition. The beaches are deserted, all those building and hardly any one around.
