Construction

As something of a nerd, I really have to wonder why anyone would live in Metropolis or Gotham City. Every week some asshole blows up a whole city block just to rob a bank. Can you imagine what your insurance rates would be like? It’s just not really a place I can imagine people living in if they had any choice. Then again, I don’t understand why anyone would want to live in Florida or Detroit either. Comic book cities have got to be worse though. I mean if you had to rebuild half the city every couple of months, sure there’d be lots of construction jobs, but you’d stop making the buildings out of brick after a while wouldn’t you? Just start laying paper mache and styrofoam instead of concrete and asphalt. That way when some alien rips a building out by it’s foundation all he’s got is a 100 ft. pinata in the shape of a bank branch office.
