And on top of the astronomical price tag, there would be all of the additional ongoing costs of owning & maintaining something that ridiculously large.

If you own an actual working mall, you get revenue from businesses to offset costs of cleaning, maintenance, property taxes, security, water, gas, electric, etc., but with that it's just a constant bill to foot. Not to mention any deficiencies in the design of each facet that might need to be revised down the road which falls under a bit of a different type of maintenance as in erosion, foundations, footings, etc., but I'm sure Mr. McClean was on top of all that.

Probably should also have the shades to go with it and complete the look.

Not sure about the thumbcuff belt buckle, though.

The problem isn’t ‘inflation’. It’s that most Americans aren’t paid enough
