Expensive Buildings - are they worth it?

Q1.
To be honest they are not worth millions. It probably depends on whether you want everything in your Springfield or not.
This will reflect your decision to buy or not.

Q2.
I generate about $80,000 a day apart from collecting money from friends Springfields. I have a few premium items so bonus is quite good.
As I have all land bought and up to date with buidlings this approx. $85,000 a day soons builds up. It takes about 10-12 days to build up a million.

Their space usage to vanity value is low, so it is a question of whether you like them and can afford them.

I get $600,000 or so a day off my mighty house farm and was just in the process to redecorate when the glass came out. I just paid off the last of my buildings and had 1.7 mill for a rainy day. After a harp glitch I'm almost to where I can buy the glass and figure another few days of farming and then out the houses away and put up my 50 krusty burgers, 20 gulp and blows and kwik-e-marts.

I think for their cost and being one shot items they should give 2% or something more than their paltry vanity value though.

They're not worth it if you've got other things to buy (land, buildings) if you've got nothing else to buy you may as well just get it for the hell of it!

I love the Escalator to Nowhere... It completely makes my Springfield, I just wish there was screaming as they fall over the edge.

I'm kinda glad it doesn't. That would get annoying after a while. I'd love it as a feature when you tap it though.

That said, I love those things. Yeah they're status symbols and they're an absurd price...but THAT'S THE JOKE. Those were all terrible projects that the city of Springfield wasted money on (along with the monorail). So likewise, you've got the ability to spend an insane amount of money and essentially get nothing in return.

I don't buy anything unless it generates revenue or can be used for tasks.

Since the escalator, skyscraper and magnifying glass don't do anything but take up space I didn't buy them.
