For $1.5 billion, Dubai gets the new Burj Khalifa, the world’s tallest building with loads of superlatives (“Towering Over ‘Em All,” Jan. 5). Let’s compare this to the United States where $2.5 billion will get you a 53-story casino in Atlantic City, and almost $9 billion gets you a new Subway store at the otherwise unfinished World Trade Center. Well done!
