One Way or AnotherWelcome to Americaland! Where everything is Made Better®. This fall I went to New York City and Greenwich, Connecticut to see for myself what was happening at Ground Zero of the American Financial Crisis. This failure of a system that we have seen sweep across the globe has had an interesting impact that literally caught some developers so off guard, that what we find are some examples that range from Edward Scissorhands-like of Mansions, with overgrown unkempt landscaping to apocalyptic (The Happening) sort of frozen construction sites. The photos you see of the build sites are all taken during work days and I was amazed to see either little activity or yellow tape and plastic sheeting to close up the jobs, unfinished.
Americaland, it’s like your town only Made Better®!
