Why on earth do the build skyscraper buildings in New York with such a huge country they could build lots of ordinary 1 or 2 story buildings anywhere in the USA
RS, our country is large, from coast to coast it is over 3,000 miles wide, and almost as deep. Much of the country does not have access to waterways for ships, cargo, imports and exports.
New York is a money city, for us and for most countries, financial institutions, so many businesses, almost 8 million people live in or near that city alone.
That being said, we use skyscrapers for quick access in business, instead of commuting across the country. It's logistics mostly.
Many countries have large skyscrapers in their more populated cities: Dubai, Rio de Janeiro, London, Ottawa, Geneva, and the list goes on. Also in any country, there are many rural areas with less population, more with regular buildings.
I hope I have given you something to compare us to, and food for thought. We are not unique at all.
