"little more of a sign of" ???
Hi all,
I wonder how you'd phrase this sentence:
"Construction of dangerous buildings are little more a sign of prosperity than the land grabs used to build them."
"Construction of dangerous buildings are little more of a sign of prosperity than the land grabs used to build them."
Or perhaps a third way instead?
The point is that the construction does suggest greater prosperity, but not a lot more, with emphasis on the latter.
Thanks!
