Work begins on Saudi Arabia's 75-mile-long megacity, The Line: Drone footage shows excavators digging the foundations for £440billion project
2022-10-24
[Daily Mail, where America gets its news] Hopefully this time they’ll pre-sell the apartments. In another bold project, as I recall, it was discovered afterward that Saudis do not like to live under others, and so the apartments remained untenanted. Of such small cultural details are fortunes lost in the desert sands.
  • Clip was released by Ot Sky, an aerial photography company and shows diggers at the site in Saudi Arabia

  • The site is 75 miles long and is being built as part of the Neom development, a vast desert complex

  • Neom will also feature artificial ski resort and an octagonal port city as well as elevators and robots

It's OK for the guy in the penthouse but not so much for everybody else. This is why we have suburbs whether Democrats like it or not.
