Now... where's my nobel prize for discovering this...

LOL!
it just blows me away that i was born into a world where supertalls were extremely rare and only existed in two cities on the entire planet (NYC & Chicago). and now, 4 decades later we are seeing an absolute explosion of supertalls in cities all over the globe. in the next 10 years there will probably be over a thousand of them, with some cities having dozens of supertalls, perhaps there will even be one or two cities that amass 100 supertalls by then. this was all unthinkable 20 short years ago.
it's crazy.
