If you’re familiar with Blade Runner, you might start seeing that dystopian world start coming to life. Sonny Astani, a Los Angeles real estate developer, plans on erecting two fourteen-story buildings that will feature hundreds of rows of LEDs. Don’t worry, Astani assures us that the residents of these buildings will see be able to see out their windows as the LED rows will be spaced six inches apart.

Six inches apart? That’s it? I feel like that would still block my view there, Astani. You better be planning on giving me a damn good discount for that. I could see this working in Vegas, but not in the million dollar condos of LA. Blade Runner’s dystopia looks cool, but is certainly not a place I’d want to live. Oh, capitalism.
