Skyscraper for Abandoned Houses

Since its invention there has been a competition between cities and countries about where the tallest skyscraper stands. Instead of “how many stories high” cities like Pittsburgh, Detroit or Cleveland could now compete for “how many homes lost” while still relying on the powerful symbolic meaning of the skyscraper.
The idea: A Skyscraper for abandoned Houses
In the center of Larimer (which qualifies as a symbolic place) a steel structure for a skyscraper gets erected.
Whenever a house in Pittsburgh gets abandoned, it will be transported to Larimer and stacked up into that structure, like a completed file into a filing system, or an unused box into a shelf, or a car into an elevator parking garage.
