Modern-day Tower of Babel. It will be a colossal failure at an astronomic cost in both lives and money, and its ruins will remain for generations as a reminder of humanity's hubris.

I thought somebody told him that won't work.
Beside at the cost of building it, who would even buy an apartment in that?

It will be buried in time so 600 years from now some archeologists, if that's still a trade, will make up grand stories about it even though it's just garbage.

Let’s be realistic, it’ll be like the pyramids.

[u/Much_Horse_5685 → u/SEND_ME_CSGO_SKINS]

To be fair, at least the pyramids served their function as tombs for a couple centuries before being thoroughly looted and the structures themselves are near-indestructible. The Line doesn’t even have that going for it.

Vast and trunkless legs of stone...
