continued - You cannot build skyscrapers on sea level and expect nothing to happen. Remember the city called New Orleans? Now I doubt they have hurricanes there but flooding can easily be a risk as would storms/sand storms. Also one should remember that much of this IS being paid by what we pay at the pump..
No offense but you should also add things...
The UAE is basically the only place in much of the arab world where you can drink and gamble (except for lebanon)...saudi's go there all the time because the rest of saudi arabia is like a dry county....albeit in iran you could drink (illegal) but gambling would be hard to do.
Much of what you see might not last long....why not? Because what they are trying to do would be against the building codes of about 99% of the world.
