It's obvious that the Prophet and Apostles were only acting as general contractors when they approved the plans and the various stages of construction of city creek. They were not acting as Prophets.

And their relatives were acting as inspectors, when they approved the designs and construction. Well... yeah.

It's analogous to the Degrees of Glory. If you've lived a righteous life, magnified your callings, and been a faithful tithe payer then you will achieve the Celestial Kingdom(penthouse) and will have no worries because there is no one above you.

Mighty Builder, weren't the building specs continually downgraded as building costs rose by billions of dollars? Going substandard wasn't in the original inspired plans was it?

Moksha, I think you are correct.

The original blueprint was code named 'CK.Mall.1'
The first downgrade was code named 'TK.Mall.1.'
The second downgrade was code named 'TL.Mall.1'

I believe the actual construction is now based on a blueprint code named 'OD.Mall.666' but that is from an unreliable source who could only confirm it by making me feel I had something akin to indigestion.
