I'm not a realtor or investor, or anything but there is NO way that mall can be built for 2 billion dollars. No way.

The conference center cost over a billion dollars If I recall correctly and it was one building. The mall project is something like two city blocks. I would guess, just based on the cost of the conference center, the mall will come in over 10 billion.

It has been a while since I visited the site and I can't remember the name of I would link y'all up. :-)

The Conf Center did not cost a billion. It was about 350 Million.

Out of curiosity, how do externalities, labor exploitation, and the Robber Barons fit within LDS theology?

According to the website it will cover twenty acres and three city blocks.

There is just no way it can only cost 2 billion dollars.

You have to remember that the interiors of buildings hold all the cost and a mall has no interiors. Those are left to the tenants. The mall owners will spend all of their money on the facades and exteriors and push the build out to the tenants. So per square foot, a mall is a cheep way to build.

The Bible is quite clear in its condemnation of usury. You cannot have capitalism without usury.

The Bible condemns usury among the faithful. You can charge interest on gentiles all you want.
