"Today, the "Tower of David" is often described as the world's tallest slum, its most dangerous communal housing project or some combination of the two. But when the skyscraper was conceived in the early '90s, it was supposed to be a testament to the booming financial class in the Venezuelan capital of Caracas. Construction was abandoned mid-way after the banking crisis of 1994, and the building sat empty until a charismatic gang-member-turned-evangelical-pastor led an occupation in 2007."
