Give this family a tax break stat:
MUMBAI — The newest and most exclusive residential tower for this city’s superrich is a cantilevered sheath of steel and glass soaring 27 floors into the sky. The parking garage fills six levels. Three helipads are on the roof. There are terraces upon terraces, airborne swimming pools and hanging gardens in a Blade Runner-meets-Babylon edifice overlooking India’s most dynamic city.
There are nine elevators, a spa, a 50-seat theater and a grand ballroom. Hundreds of servants and staff are expected to work inside. And now, finally, after several years of planning and construction, the residents are about to move in.
All five of them.
You know the drill: this provides jobs for hard-working Indians, why can’t the United States foster this kind of wealth-creation anymore, the first time I took a bus from there a limbless child told me “look what we did to this neighborhood”.
Truthfully, I make no moral judgements here. I think this story will generate a lot of discussion, and just not in India.
