  1. We didn't lose the skyscraper race it's just that America doesn't need many skyscrapers right now. We right now have many skyscrapers that are not being used at full capacity and I think we should worry about having those previous buildings in occupancy rather then building for empty offices and rooms. Our skyscraper boom was the 1900's and still in use for companies and people for the 21st century. Skyscrapers should be built when it's necessary not unnecessary.

  2. Yeah but in United States we have a rich history of great buildings, there are so many styles of architecture in United States, like beuax arts, art deco, classical style, gothic revival, european architecture, modern architecture and contemporary and many more. I don't think people understand that majority of the buildings are still in occupancy. All this guy in this video is talking is about how china has more skyscrapers than united States, I don't think it's bad for China to have bigger cities becuase their population is pretty large, but I find it really stupid when buildings are built to be abandoned, how come this guy doesn't talk about how in China has many ghost cities and this is due to the fast construction that China is having right now. Most chinese cities don't have sidewalks and houses for small businesses to develop. They just have big concrete buildings plotted on big Square pieces of land next to highways.

  3. Our skyscraper boom was in the 20th century so it makes sense why not many new skyscrapers in America are not being built. Plus many of our skyscrapers are not being used at full capacity.

  4. That's why I don't like China.
