I think the LINE will be completed however long it is . But nobody gonna live in the LINE , who the hell want to live in the LINE without streets , police station , fire department , school , and hospital ?
@@chucnguyen101 everyone wants to live in the line because the start of the line is one of the worst places for a city and a line is the quickest way to get farthest away from that point.
What is the big problem living in the Line with no streets ? How to go buy grocery , go to hospital ? Is there a police station , fire depart ent ? Blablahblah
Here in the UK we've had plenty of money yet still had no sense. We can't build and maintain good infrastructure but we can afford to subsidise Ukraine's war without providing adequate military protection for ourselves. We can give billions in aid and see no benefit to the people this aid is meant to help and certainly no benefit to ourselves. Norway seems to have the right ideas as to how to spend its billions and its not splashing the cash around the globe in the vain hope of currying favour with despots and warlords.
Yeah. If they continue doing this, they'll run out of money fast. Imagine this is taller than Empire State Building, how much would one block cost? Multiple that by the hundred or thousand.
The original concept is horrendously impractical. For the same cost they can build several conventional cities, where people will actually want to live, not just visit as a weird tourist attraction.
They'll most probably scrap the entire project, which only came about as a result of some man's big ego. Mr. Crown Prince should have built a walkable city with effective public transportation instead.
@@rxb364 tribes have lived in deserts for thousands of years with zero emissions. The tractors needed to bulldoze the dirt will produce more carbon emissions than all the desert tribes in all of human history.
The proper way of doing this is to create a small version of the line as a test case. After 10 years and if the test version was successful, only then would you consider a full scale deployment. Also, their history of grand projects are spotty. What ever happen to the 1 mile high skyscraper that was under construction? I see nothing in their history of pulling off grand projects successfully.
The whole idea is bad. A smaller test version will show some tentative theoretical potential promise to some degree at some point, which will be taken as absolute certainty that we should proceed with the rest. No, it's an objectively bad idea. It can't work.
There's no proper way of doing this besides scrapping the whole thing altogether of course. I'm not an architect and even I could see that this was a terrible idea.
reduction is not a failure , the technology has failed Elon hyperloop has failed it was part of the project , the project is very expensive over budget due to the lack of technology and market of scale , they reduced it but didn’t give up and they can expand it .
What are the temperatures in peak season there ? Because Saudi Arabia summer temperatures reach 50+ degrees Celsius. That is like fire coming down on you. I live somewhere where summer temperatures at peak go beyond 50 C and it is unbearable.
Making such a city in the middle of the Desert, was ridiculous from the beginning. With no water resources, just sea water. What was this guy thinking …
Unfortunately maths isn't MBS strong point - he had $58 to spend per cubic metre at a $1tn budget. He claimed it could be done for $250bn. Its just pure simple maths. Walls 500m tall x 200m wide x 1m depth = 100,000 cubic metres. Length 170km or 170,000m is 170,000 x 100,000= 17,000,000,000sqm or 17bn cubic metres. At a cost of $1tn dollars $1,000,000,000,000/17,000,000,000= $58 cubic metre. That's without carbon neutral power stations, a train that will take to from end to end in 20 minutes, an airport or external sanitation and water facilities. Population density for 9m people 6x greater than the most populously dense city in the world, Manilla causing crowding. $58 a cubic metre??
Please... 170 Km long, maybe... 400 stops... if each stop is about two seconds, you'd only need to accellerate to 9Gs then slam on the breaks repeatedly to travel from one stop to the next and BAM 170km in 20 minutes. Totally possible.
Unfortunately the crown prince is not an engineer and has no idea about fluid dynamics it's going to be the biggest Hot house on the planet it will cook everything😂😂
This is the dystopian dream conjured up by a crown prince that favors style over substance. Instead of investing in science and technology, he wants to ape the UAE 😂
The thing about the train only taking 20 minutes to get from one end to the other - that assumes that there are no stops, that people aren't getting on or off. Add those factors in, and the thing would have to travel at speeds that would kill the passengers.
Dubai has no sewage system. They have to have trucks pump it out 24/7. Because of the long queues and delays, some tanker drivers resort to illegally dumping the effluent into storm drains or behind dunes in the desert. The result of sewage dumped into storm drains is that it flows directly into sea of the Persian Gulf, near to the city's prime swimming beaches. Doctors have warned that tourists using the beaches run the risk of contracting serious illnesses like typhoid and hepatitis.
@TK-ro5nn That's another dark side of Dubai that people should know. Let's hope now that UAE and Dubai learn a good lesson and invest more of their billions in more advanced and vanguard methods instead of playing geopolitics by giving money to dictators(Sissi in Egypt, Sudan...). They have q lot to do to improve their country now instead or it will fall like a castle of cards.
@@TK-ro5nn Dubai is not perfect, however since 30 years not you, the media criticizing Dubai till today, nothing happened, the reality Dubai always improving, glowing, succession going on
As a newbie that wants to invest, you must have these three things in mind 1. Have a long term mindset. 2. Be willing to take risk. 3. Be careful on money usage, if you're not spending to earn back, then stop spending. 4. Never claim to know - Ask questions and it's best you work with a financial advisor.
YES!!! That's exactly her name (Maria Davis) so many people have recommended highly about her and am just starting with her 😊 from Brisbane Australia🇦🇺
After I raised up to 325k trading with her I bought a new House and a car here in the states 🇺🇸🇺🇸also paid for my son's surgery (Oscar). Glory to God.shalom..
After watching a few videos about this project,i doubt the credibility and intentions of the project managers, architects , construction companies and other who presented this whole structure.
- Let's build 1000 skyscrapers. - OK... - Let's build it in the middle of nowhere... - Fine... - ... and organize it in the least practical way possible. - I'm not sure that's a good... - Look at this cool CGI! - Wow, what a great idea!
It will never happen..if it does be lot shorter take longer..where will the citizens work .its a expensive prison ..no mention of police hospitals or fire stations..something a kid would dream up ...and no alcohol 😂
KSA will now host the 2034 world cup and 2030 EXPO and other events which weren’t in the plan when the 2030 vision announced back then, they did a smart move by organizing the priority of all giga projects and trying to meet the promises of the vision projects and the new events as possible… Rather than failing to meet expectations like some other countries did.
Full length transport in 20 minutes? why don't you run this crap thru your calculator before repeating it. The 1 percent is about as far as it will progress.
Who wants to live like that is the question. No cars or roads the whole point of life is freedom, get in your vehicle and drive anywhere in your country.
105 miles in 20 minutes? What about stations between both ends? You believe everything you hear and read on Internet? I think you need to improve a lot your research skills!
Poor people those lough on Saudi while they are slavers for their business men in their country make them more richer with many poor citizens without Zakat” same Muslims Zakat in Saudi that is why there are no poor citizens in Saudi and they are walking in smart steps on business 🤲🏼 Thanks God الحمدلله
How it is seen on general on the media: MBS Failed, game over go home. Reality: Neom launched and much focus was dedicated to it. Suddenly Saudi won the host of 2034 World cup plus Expo 2030. You have to choose and prioritize now.
At the moment, according to the consultants working on this project, they are at the point of studying how to supply the city with electricity and looking into the various possible providers.
Why did they reduce it? because it's an incredibly stupid idea and will never go anywhere. It's just another future abandoned building project. Not going anywhere.
A good way to transition from oil dependency is... well, education! But education and a totalitarian dictatorship don't go well together. Those educated people, could develop funny ideas the Prince would not be so happy about...
Seems to me that the billionaires of SA are stuck for some real meaning in their lives - after all their every whim is always satisfied instantly because nobody is allowed to argue with them, so of course they are all like big kids with far too much personal power & not much actual care for anybody else. I don't think there are too many free peoples from the Western countries that have any furious desire to go & live in their societies even with some of those very beautiful designs, and even tho nowhere is perfect of course I prefer UK, Europe or N. America to almost anywhere else !
not appropriate for atmospheric, radiation conditions there. also the function of the city's line shape on these worlds is perhaps not so useful compared to a circular series of underground domes.
In the beginning they presented some fancy videos from NEOM work sites - some foreigners were hired as Engineers,Tech Managers etc...... What a PITY !!!!!
These idiots are overly ambitious if they think they'll ever finish half of it ! One question, how are they going to clean all those mirror windows under the blazing sun ?
Grid pattern is the most efficient floor plan for a town. In my area, there are a few villages that came up along the highway. Literally like a line of 1 km. It is a nightmare. To get to a grocery shop, you have to travel half kilometre. In a regular village, it is 25 metre away.
It is better to spend the money to build more mega desalination plants and to green the desert, dudes. Just create a normal settlement with highway and bridges to Sharm El Sheikh, a major resort in the south of Sinai, Egypt. That would be a major attraction for people to move to the new settlement.
The Line faces criticism on several fronts: * Human Rights: The Howeitat tribe, who lived on the land for generations, were forcibly evicted. Some who protested faced imprisonment and executions. * Sustainability: Building a massive city will have a huge carbon footprint. Experts question if it can truly be eco-friendly. * Feasibility: The project's scale is immense and some technologies haven't been proven reliable at this size. * Financial Strain: Funding such a large project is difficult, especially as Saudi Arabia relies on oil, a volatile market.
For a desert climate the city makes sense. A long trench seems like it would be easier to cool than urban sprawl. I hope the remaining part gets built to see if the concept works.
The problem here is the people who normally invest in these crazy projects are now the ones building the crazy project so there’s nobody to invest in it.
Yeah, perhaps a quarter mile long prototype would demonstrate what a bad idea this actually is. But they’re very good at producing slick renderings . . .
When your leadership has too much money to spend And are surrounded by Yes Men And has far more dollars than Sense While having an obsession to spending billions per year Because the money is burning a hole in their soul As they feel that they needed these edifices of their spending in order to feel fulfilled
Imagine investing this money into an actual infrastructure (roads, schools, hospitals, various type of social benefits and so on) for the people instead of trying to build a city in the middle of a desert. This city is basically a very long cruiseship from which you cant probably get out. You are basically living between two giant walls of glass with buildings towering above you from all sides. The oil resources in general should have been nationalized in a way that these sheiks wouldnt be able to enjoy a luxurious lifestyle with the nations oil wealth that should benefit all the people living in that specific country. Like Norway has done with its oil resources.
The funny thing is (or sad) is that there is no investment in the future in this. It’s just like Dubai, lots of buildings amounting to nothing when the oil runs out! 🤦♂️ Imagine Bush Khalifa not being connected to a sewage system and the city of Dubai not having waste water pipes throughout the city because it never rains and when it did the loss of cars was estimated at a billion dollars or maybe even more… 1000 one million $ cars sounds way to little. 🤔
