Why Saudi Arabia’s Line City Is Falling

[@mo-ug1ys]

In my opinion, The Line has not been marketed or presented in the right way. As I see it, the Arabian Peninsula is an environmentally stressed region-it’s a desert with limited water resources, frequent sandstorms, and extremely hot weather for half the year. To me, The Line is a project aimed at creating a sustainable urban environment in the desert. It serves as a model for building sustainable living in a challenging environment. I believe if this had been explained to the world from the beginning, people would have taken the project more seriously.

Here is my prediction: The world is on the edge of going upside down & sideways at the same time and this dream will shut down solidly and what is there will stay there to rot. Hold on tight - This ride is about to get real bumpy.

[@PeresD]

That is an understatement .

[@ronbdallas]

These absurd vanity mega projects are completely unsustainable. I wonder what the ruins left in the sand will be when this finally runs out of money?

One World RIDICULOUS

[@bi5048]

They decide to change it to the “curve”

[@reddog-ex4dx]

Some day, the prince is going to be the laughing stock of the world. I don't see how any elderly people could live there. Makes me think of the movie Logan's Run.

[@knightforlorn6731]

some of us laugh at arabia already.

[@Heather-u1b6c]

What about pets?

[@Heather-u1b6c]

​@@knightforlorn6731I've been laughing at those goofballs for 20 years.

[@bobthekobb]

It was only a showboat idea not many believed it would work.

[@weemadangus1834]

The idea was to move money from one place to many other places! It was meant to fail and fail well it did.

[@garywheeler7039]

That 656 feet is about one block wide. I am not sure anything green would grow at the bottom of a one block wide crack in the ground with lots of buildings on top of it. Windows would be needed on both sides of such a structure. These fancy computer renderings are not real, trees and grass will not grow where it is shady almost all the time. Humans and plants need water and sunlight to grow. There ain't no light at the bottom of a deep slot except when the sun is just right.

[@gracezhu]

It is falling because it is like prison that nobody like lives in prison 😂

[@gothboschincarnate3931]

How about they use that money to help the poor first!

[@knightforlorn6731]

this is a country that enslaves its own citizens and women. why the hell would they care about helping the weak and impoverished have you ever even HEARD of arabia?

[@frogz]

EVERYONE, LIKE THE VIDEO, only you can prevent steve from begging for likes and respect his anonymity!!!

[@kayakMike1000]

Its failing because its a dumb idea?

[@Heather-u1b6c]

Super dumb idea

[@mastermindynwa2444]

5:26 bro took sarcasm to the next level

[@doonesburyband]

where is the sand from for the concrete

[@doonesburyband]

This question presupposes it's widely known the sand crisis. We have very little concrete sand left and it's destroying protected habitats when pirates collect it from the seafloor or your neighbour's beach.

[@robertalkemade989]

stupid line

Love ya and poppa❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@Heather-u1b6c]

Not a chance. A couple of these were tried in America and all failed. I think one was near Tucson AZ so similar climate.

[@2000freefuel]

Sounds like another Kowloon Walled City

[@sardaracampa1733]

Only China could build The Line, and in record time. I urge the reader to search the current futuristic cities already inhabited and completed in China. Give the Chinese a bowl of rice, come back in a hour, and it's a restaurant! They don't fuck around!

[@RonLo]

Sounds like WATOP?

[@michaelgomez3044]

Yeah that guy does voice narration for at least several different YT channels that I've heard, and probably more that I have not stumbled on.

[@claudegervais7103]

Why are we here?

[@user-eh1vq2tr7e]

I have never heard such negativity from one person,mate it's all new ,give it a chance and stop being so negative 👿

[@dimar298]

Why does it surprise you? It is only Westerners (the West) who have brains (knowledge) and the Arabs are not Westerners, so whatever they intend to do that has never been done by anyone else before is bound to fail - that is the mentality of this content creator and the subsequent comments that followed

[@tombuilder1475]

belief in sky daddies can lead to stupid ideas!

[@Heather-u1b6c]

MBS is a Jew pretending to be Muslim. He's an atheist. So correction, atheists have dumb ideas.

[@scottrupp4895]

The cost is only a fraction of what the United States government spends each year.

[@ikh-go9yi]

Exactly

[@worldstrategicservices7100]

Good luck saudi

[@ikh-go9yi]

Haters. Just leave them to it
