It’s this attitude that’s contributing to the culture of toxic architectuality.

Why are you so threatened by buildings seeking support in times of turmoil? Sometimes one edifice needs to be able to turn to another for help when things get rough, it doesn’t make them weak. They don’t need guys like you calling them townhouses when they lean on each other.

Huh I don't want to have to phrase it like this but I truly believe it is against the laws of nature that a building of that size and design could just lean on another like that. Ever heard of a curtain wall?

Ooooooh, I hear what you’re saying, loud and clear! If it doesn’t have a certain type of walls then it’s not a real building. If it can’t weather every storm and resist every rampaging monster then it’s not strong enough. Well, let me tell you you, some of the tallest buildings I’ve ever seen, with some of the finest blueprints ever written have been able to lean on other buildings when things got tough; and there was always someone like you who wanted to tear them down afterward!
