Have you ever heard of the most expensive house and it being in space? I have never heard of the most expensive house being in space. The similarities and differences between The Most Expensive House in the Universe and When the Empire State Building was New. I thinks there's not going to be any real similarities between both of them. The difference between the sizes of both of them. How much money they spent or how much were they going to spend. The difference between were they both are located. These wasn't any real similarities between them. These are many differences between both of them not so much of similarities.
They both have different sizes then each other. The empire State Building is way bigger than the the most expensive house because the Empire State Building is way taller. “It is roughly the size of a football field.” (The Most Expensive House on the Universe par-1) I don't think it is that big for being the most expensive house in the universe. “Planned to reach nearly 1,300 feet above Fifth Avenue.”(When the Empire State Building was Newpar-7) One-thousand three-hundred feet in the air is very tall. The Empire

I think there was a big difference between the money they spent on it one was way more than the other. “It was around 150 billion dollars for the most expensive house” (The Most Expensive House in the Universe par-1) 150 billion dollars is a lot of money for the most expensive house. “The building of the skyscraper represents an investments of spending 50,000,000 on the Empire State Building” ( When the Empire State Building was New). I thought it was more expensive for the Empire State Building instead of the the house. There was a big difference between The Most Expensive House in the Universe and When the Empire State Building was New. There's a big difference between the money they both spent on their house or
of “the dizzying hustle of Eighth Avenue” or the Empire State Building (4). We can
Basically this paragraph contains two pairs of contrasting ideas. Identify them. What do they have in common?
... Their attitude and tone is something that can be contrasted in the two stories.
The Biltmore Estate is located in Asheville, North Carolina. It is the largest privately owned home in the United States. It was privately owned by George Washington Vanderbilt and his family. The house was designed by Richard Morris Hunt. Frederick Law Olmsted designed the landscape. The Biltmore Estate had a major role in the development of the creative architecture of the era and is well known for being America's largest home.

Let’s take a look at what owning a house can cost you on a monthly or yearly basis.
As if all that wasn’t bad enough, the documentary itself is actually named after a new home that they are building, Versailles. Their current home, at over 30,000 feet, is just “busting at the seams”. [Siegel] Therefore, the Siegel’s find it sensible to begin construction on what will be the largest home in America. Versailles, at 90,000 feet, will have 30 bathrooms, ten kitchens, a roller rink, and a full size baseball field, just to name a few. Then, the great recession hits. Westgate Resorts, whose cash flow depends on cheap and easy credit from the banks, is unable to continue the business of selling people things that they can’t really afford. Mr. Siegel disappointedly has to lay off thousands of employees while blaming the entire situation on “the bankers” and their easy money. [Siegel] Amazingly, throughout the documentary he takes little responsibility and doesn’t seem to recognize the link between his cash flow problems and his wife’s unnecessary spending. In fact, he lectures throughout the movie about the importance of having a mortgage on anything you can in order to “make money on your money.” [Siegel] As the luxury begins to fade, there’s a lot of complaining about the banker’s unfair

After long and heated arguments between experts, it was decided that the Superintendent of Construction was extremely inexperienced, and that there was "recklessness in the handling of public money," on the part of the Treasury Department and the Immigration Bureau of Officials. The entire building, excluding the hospitals, had been built shoddily. After news of the problems with the building had been in the media, a lot of people involved with the construction of the building resigned their positions.
John D Rockefeller Jr's nine story mansion was a short way away but he was no opera fan. But the idea of constructing a modern urban complex was quite engaging to him.
They did not spend this money on new school facilities, or fixing apartment buildings, or building safe areas for children, but rather they spend it to “paint the back and sides of the buildings so that people driving to the suburbs will have something nice to look at” (Kozol page 31). This is yet another way the city tried to cover up the people in the Bronx, while at the same time not doing anything to help them. The people there are still starving, or doing drugs, but heaven forbid a tourist get offended by the blatant disregard of the city’s most disenfranchised people. The money spent on that mural could have gone into actually aiding the community, perhaps through bettering the hospitals or repairing housing units that had elevators and electrical systems that killed people. The city was more focused on making people believe that places like the Bronx were not as bad as they actually were than they were with actually fixing the problems.
One major point that has been looked at closely but has not been completely decided upon is the original number of stories the palace contained. There are no indications of a second story beyond the two narrow staircases back in the upper north service area of the wing.
I had a chance to visit this building and as I stood under the edge of the building looking upward I was amazed by the beauty and precision, and stunned by the size and splendor. Inside I could not get past the entrance and a guard told me I wasn’t allowed to take pictures. The interior with its light colored marble walls and double height ceiling is breathtaking, I stood there and I felt a tremble run through my body. I can honestly say this is one of my favorite buildings in New York.
C. SUBPOINT: Lastly, with such amount of casing you can building up to 30 Empire State buildings.
One World Trade Center (WTC) is the tallest building in the Western Hemisphere measuring up at 1776 feet tall. The built output sets new standards of design, construction, and prestige. Its beauty in New York City’s magical skyline makes it an icon. It is the most recognised and desirable office address in the world. In this essay I plan to argue that the social, political and economic status of society has affected the built output of this building considerably, for the good. Making the building one of the best skyscrapers in the world.
