Milwaukee is a city that needs to grow, whatever it is. And socialists like you are the ones holding the city back by trying to brainwash people into believing in your philosophy. Socialism doesn't work. |

We are aware Milwaukee isn't as big as Chicago or New York, don't insult our intelligence. It can have skyscrapers too of course if there is a demand for it I am aware of that too.

Oh NO, you've caught on to my Socialist Agenda! You've clearly won THIS discussion. Time for me to retreat to the liberal, skyscraperless netherworld of places like Wyoming and Kansas. |

I have a great idea: Go and take out a hefty loan, then finance the construction of skyscrapers in Milwaukee. If it's such a great idea, you have nothing to lose, right? |

I'm not talking about renting a damn skyscraper or building one.
You're an ass.

Capitalists can range from owning ranches and farms to building skyscrapers and owning them, so I don't see your point.

Well let me jump into the snake pit here.
My point is that skyscrapers don't make the city and how nice it would be to have more of a skyline their more important issues facing our city. It is true that some people out there that need to have a skyline to feel like they live in a big city or to validate themselves. Also some people do judge a city by it's skyline, Milwaukee needs to work on the quality aspect more and I promise you the skyscrapers will follow much like how the condo boom came into the city.

Why not? You say Milwaukee needs more skyscrapers, so start buildin'.
And a socialist, anti-American one, too, apparently.
