When are we going to learn that these huge all at once attempts to build a new "city" are just foolish. People don't just move to a city because you build it. There has to be jobs, culture and other reasons to be there.

9,000 people, way below its 700,000 target.

Lol. Let's see if that will change in the next year's.

Let’s be cautious in assuming that all paywalls protect labor.
