I've seen a ton of sites doing that lately, mostly overseas.

Yes. And McDonald's will be the sole vendor there.

It's a new law in the European Union. They cannot track you without your consent.

Nothing like computer generated mock ups of crazy ass pretentious architectural things that nobody in their right mind would ever actually finance.

Also fitting this pattern was the thing to turn some historic square in Mexico City into a sheet of glass with a hole underneath it 60 stories deep lined with commercial and residential space. "Whoa... hey check it out... it's gonna be like a skyscraper... but underground! ... Pass the cheetos man."

Or the giant pyramid scaffolding tower things that some crazy architect wanted to build in the sea by some Japanese city.

These have been financed, built and are open.

Why are they always behind it? Why not be in front of it where we all can see them?

So you're saying they cut down all the trees and put them in some sort of museum? Wonder if there's an entrance fee.

A dollar-and-a-half, payable at the entrance right off the newly-paved parking lot on Paradise.

There's the garage on Elm, but they want tree-fiddy.
