In Kaliningrad, the soviets built a new headquarters as the tallest building in this city of ~ 1m people. After ten years, it was never occupied. It stood as a monument to a failed government over this good city.

Seems the govt built a $90m factory for a CA company to build LED light bulbs in the Syracuse area. It called for the company to add 125 new jobs and lease the building for $1m/month for ten years. Oops, no penalty for pulling out early! So the company decided to not invest in Syracuse and now the govt owns a $90m building with no revenue.
