> What matters to me is that someone is at least trying. Delusional autocrats wasting loads of resources and probably human lives (just like at Qatar and the World Cup, this should be much worse) to build a an exceptionally unpractical city in the middle of the desert that nobody wants or needs. But yeah it's worth is since someone is "at least trying" . > Given the same resources, what would you do A great example of where to put loads of money you don't need is Norway. Despite having much less oil than the Saudis a country of just 4 million people now owns the largest investment fund in the world, which is worth more than Google and ~2x more than Tesla. > Given the money, how would you build a brand new city to attract people given the history of modern (< 30 yr) planned cities? Well first of all make it a circle instead of line. What the point of all than density if it's going to take you a shitload of time to get anywhere? > Where are the SpaceX sceptics today? What is their new focus on? For every success story there are 10+ (or even more failures). What's your point?
