Reminds me of The Line, the city Saudis claim to be building.
- epolanski 4y agoThey don't claim it, they started building it. Anyway looking Arab countries is like looking at everything that's wrong with modern world. Imagine being so rich you can build any kind of city and you choose to build Dubais, Dohas and this line. You could literally build fascinating Arabian-style fascinating cities that would make a Disney movie look bad...and they decide to create such non sense monsters like palm islands (not practical, doomed to be sunk by raising oceans moreover) or lines in the desert, pointless skyscrapers in places where there's no lack of horizontal space, this ain't Manhattan ffs.
- alchemist1e9 4y agoHave you been to any of those places?
- epolanski 4y agoYes to Dubai.
