Why would it matter if the model is recent or not? It's not like the Mayans have a recent calendar model.

Nothing's "wrong". There's no demand for all these towers in the US. Why should we build skyscrapers just to build them? If you think that's a sustainable business model then by all means go for it yourself.

There are plenty of non-stock options out there.
