see NEOM

It's an unbelievably stupid idea that's really going to happen. The prince of Saudi Arabia knows that their oil economy is going to wither away soon, so he's trying to make SA appealing to people with money and have them move there. How? By building a city that's a line 160 km (110 mi) long and 200 m (660 ft) wide...in the middle of fucking nowhere. The whole idea is based on technology that we don't have and is just terrible city planning. Look into it to get a laugh.

Hahaha yes you're right. This is an example of ill-advised big infrastructure.

No, you don't get it.

It's blessed by god so it'll be good no matter what. God is good to his faithful. Lamborghini Akbar.
