seriously?
you
seriously doubt that these 600'-800' tall goettsch towers will be standing in 100 years?
i seriously doubt that you're being serious.
barring disaster (natural, man-made, or otherwise), they'll be there. i'd bet vast sums of money on it. 700' tall buildings don't come down easily or cheaply.
in fact, in chicago's entire infamous career of ripping down the old to erect the new, there's only one single lone example of a tower over 500' tall being taken down: morrison hotel (the building, not the doors' album) back in the '60s to make way for first national plaza.
5 story buildings like general growth? those get knocked with relative ease by comparison.
