Hell, the Chinese have entire cities like that already (If you've not come across this before check out https://allthatsinteresting.com/chinese-ghost-cities). I suspect that they're just planning/operating on much longer time scales than we are accustomed to.
Have you threatened the sales people with being replaced by a smart contract yet?
Yeah, I've seen the ghost cities. Mind-blowing.
Lol, yeah, it's a dying profession to be honest, and very hard work in this fickle socio of no loyalty. That's why I'm in management and not on the ground. At 50 I should be able to see it out, would leave now if I could, but for those younger ones...Yep, no jobs in the future.
