I think it is wrong because they are building big houses that cost alot of money and then other people are poor and they could help the people that live there and everything but they arnt they are to busy building houses and then they have people starving and porr dont have enough food or anything because they are building big houses.

I think that him building a billion dollar house was stupid. The reason i think it was stupid of him was because he could have help out his country. Just like in the United States rich people want to waste their money on foolish things like chains in other stupid items. These are reason why crime rates stay the same or get worst because rich people dont want to help out in donated to the ones that need help. This is Vernon

One thing I got to say is "How did he get all that money to spend of a 27 stories high house." Another thing is why is he not spending that money in the city of Mumbai because that is wrong to leave them hanging and not help them out, but he need to think about what he should had done.

I think this is crazy. I know that all that money is the mans but his neaghboors are dieing poor, How could a man be so selfish. I think somebody from any were schould get in contact with him and talk to him about the people around him. I think this situation is something like what we are going throw becuse the rich keeps geting rich and the poor will continue to strugle. And we can be in the thrid district and drive for ten minutes and we could be in a nicer and better envoirment. Just like that man is owns a billion dollar house and people in eye sight is living poor. Its the same as were the thrid district is and were the plaza is.

This relates to the issues in America, because a lot of times people who have money don't help others in need. Athletes are a good example of this, because they have tons of money and a lot of them don't share it. They use their money for expensive cars and million dollar homes when poor people around them are living in the streets. Last, but not least, people like Donald Trump don't give back to poor communities across the world. Basically, it's like making fun of someone if you have all this money and don't give back to those who are in need.

This issue relates to pple in the U.S because. now and days companies are making expensive houses. that some pple cant even barely afford. and sometimes the house dont even have the right things in it to make it a good home. for the pple that are poor and is not as wealthy and forunate. They wont have a good house to live in. or even if they had a expensive house they still woulnt have money to buy food for the house because of the bills. so to me thats not fair

I believe it is wrong to build a billion dollar house when most of the Country is suffering and that really shows how much they care about the Community...

teemiller said...

This video is simlar to problems in the u.s because some people can't afford a home. I think he should help the people that don't have homes. People have problems with paying there bills for homes.

sbcpjr said...

its similar because, if people keep doing things like this, buying billions and millions of dollars homes, and materials, then our people in america are going to continue to suffer. If people have money like this, they shouldnt have no problem helping out people whose poor, people who dont have homes, and also people who are suffering because of high bills...

i think that his plan is a good idea because it his way of living life but at the same time its wrong because some countrys are suffering because they have to get gass

i dont think it is any where near like the problems in the us. In the US no one builds billion dollar houses. To make it even worst he built the house in the midle of the projects.

domo said...

Its like the problems in the US becuase their are poor people in the us and while these people are building these million or billion dollar houses there are people suffering and starving to death and i think instead of them buying these billion dollar houses they should be helping the poor so we all can be happy

i think that the way that this problem is simalar to are problems is that, the big money spenders buy dumb things and spend them on something really dumb, while all the other broke people in the city cant do nothing but watch and hope for a miravle, thats a problem. and how that they are similer to each other.

I feel that it was pretty messed up the way they can build a billion dollar house,when they country is in bad shape. This is sad because that means they don't care about nobody but theyself. They people is in need of help.

Unknown said...

I think this is very inapropreate. Theirs no reason for someone to get a house so expensive in a countrie that isent even fully developed all the way. And on another case the building won't even be used all the way.

Unknown said...

I think this man is scandalous. (I hope his house collapse). He should of help his poor people out. If that was me I would of help the homeless an then focus on my family. But I wouldn't build a 16 story house majority of the house not gone even get use. This man is selfish. Billion dollars gone down the drian now. They are similar because in the U.S they spend they money on nessecary stuff. That man did unneccessary stuff.

Their own people is in need and he waste a billion bollars.
