Something Strange About Bank Buildings...

Toronto skyline. See those big skyscrapers?

Have you ever paid attention to the largest buildings in city centres?

For example, downtown Toronto.

Have you ever wondered why and how the most colossal structures (thus the most expensive) are all owned by the same type of business?

Banks.

Have you asked yourself "how is it possible to fund such massive buildings?"

Where does the banker's money come from to fund the most extravagant buildings in our cities? If these are private companies, how can they raise such massive infrastructure projects, so quickly, across hundreds of cities throughout the continent (and the world!)?

As individuals, our observations carry significance. Just because others can't see what you see, or don't agree with you, does not mean anything. What registers as odd in your mind should be explored. Whenever a persistent question arises in your mind, it should be pursued. This is the path to finding answers.

Why are the largest buildings in modern cities owned by banks?

How are they able to fund such seemingly unlimited construction?

Where does their money come from?

Skyscrapers are the apex of architecture, by modern standards... almost all owned by banks. Why?
