 I think it was in Vhina that there was a skyscraper that they built to look like this stupid shit on the left, with tons of plants and vegetation areas all over it, and people HATED it, it was HORRIBLY infested with mosquitos and tons of other bugs that reproduced on the stagnant water all over the building and it was completely uncontrollable. Tons of people who paid ridiculous sums for the condos were then trying to get rid of them for fractions of the price. Not sure what happened to it afterward but I thought it was really funny how unrealistic our views of “utopia” really are. Theres a reason we don’t live in the woods.
