- throw0101a 5y ago> Dubai? I have heard that Dubai does not have street names, so giving directions and arranging deliveries can be… challenging. Is this statement accurate?
- hn_throwaway_99 5y agoI think "missing street names" is probably #2879 on the prioritized list of things that make Dubai the best example of a complete modern dystopia.
- IdontRememberIt 5y agoThese are not private initiatives. They were the will of powerful, bright and respected people.
- boomboomsubban 5y agoPrivate people can't be powerful, bright, and respected? Plus their example was Brasilia, not a private initiative either. >They were the will of powerful, bright and respected people. Not the first adjectives I'd use to describe imperialists, colonialists and warlords personally.
- IdontRememberIt 5y agoThe "fathers" of Dubai, Singapore, etc are highly respected and loved by the locals. Of course there are counter-exemples.
