I don't like being in them, myself. I remember going to a job agency in Frisco, and the building was no where near this tall. It still made me nervous. I also do NOT get along with elevators. I HATE 'em. Not only do I remember the 'Adrian Messenger' scene, it takes my stomach five minutes to catch up to me no matter what direction I go.
Though in my dream world, there are a few thirteen storey castles with basements and sub-basements.
