In this new compact world you build up not out.  We will all have personalized towers of our own design.  FYI my tower will be quite radical and will dick all over everybody else's towers so don't even try to compete with it because let's be real it's not even a possibility and I will laugh right in your face from way up in my majestic boss tower at you in your lowly pud towers.  Towers.

Nothing less conducive to handling of man business than proximity to other men doing the same.  It's like magnets and how they push each other away if they get too close.  Luckily we're all stud men around here and can all agree on the space necessary to do our man business handling like men.  Men.

If I could find it, linking the thread where sd talks about the building with the many levels representing classes and how all of the crap is at the bottom and the ruler is at the top with no one from the outside world allowed in except for some kids on rare occasion who are never heard from again would be appropriate here. However, the shitty search function was no help when I typed that in.
