O. Henry Quotes
It'll be a great place if they ever finish it.
In the beginning of the 21st century governments with large financial resources developed many buildings and communities as did in some capitalistic countries private firms. Many were successful but there were some failures almost everywhere. However after the Meltdown of 2008 and the Great Recession many large buildings and communities the world over were under-utilized and in many cases not used at all. Proportionately, Ireland, Spain and Greece had the worst problem (public as well as provate). However just because of size and wealth, the United States and China had the most unused buildings and communities that were developed. However, many economists and developers argue that even of those projects were failures, the buildings, streets, sewers, utilities and infrastructure will be there and when the economy heats up, they will be used.
