Thanks for your long, thoughtful post.
I despair that this technology will ever be used for good.
I don't trust the developers.
All major cities are being taken over by undistinguished "luxury high rises" made of poured concrete.
A nice row of brownstones goes down, concrete residential housing for the rich and tasteless goes up, block after block.
It's progess till all those structures become undesirable high rise slums, which will happen much sooner than with the buildings they are replacing.
Eventually people will look back on this period and say, what the f--?
