Dubai cannot last in the long run.It operates as a giant pyramid selling scheme
does .It is only sustainable as long as it is growing .When the supply of new cash stalls ,it will degenerate rapidly it has no fundemental resource base

I am Herve Jaubert, a Marine Engineer who was lured to Dubai by top officials to build a state of the art company, then I found myself trapped, with no passport. Victim of betrayal and blackmailed by high government officials at Dubai World, and as a former secret agent I took it upon myself to escape on a boat across the Arabia sea

If it does sink people will come from all around the globe to scuba dive it, scuba diving is a huge industry that brings millions to small towns all over the globe, so I think even if it washes away into the ocean it will become a huge tourist attraction generating billions of dollars a year!!!!

Dubai is so fake and it will not last! Only thing keeps it running is oil money. When oil crash, it will be a ghost town. There is no culture, no democratic system, just a desert mirage for people to make a quick buck and get out. It is not sustainable like other major cities around world with hundreds or thousand year history. Dubai is a complete fraud, don’t go there!! A city without a soul is so pathetic. I know some people like to quote that Dubai does not rely on oil money, but that is just not true, all the trade in that part of the world is driven by oil, of course Dubai will fail without the regional trade support. Without a sound modern culture and system, Dubai will be nothing but a mirage, it will not last and will certainly not create anything original for mankind.

For what its worth… building islands in the sea, no matter how well they look now; simply will NOT stand up to the test of time. A pile of rocks and sand is just a pile of rocks and sand. The artificial islands will wash away from under their magnificent mansions to the sea…

Dubai sucks, here rape our wallets with your overpriced gas, oh and put all our money into your hotels and shit. Stupid people with their money because daddy made a fat discovery, so they spend all their money on worthless shit. How about you lower gas prices and give to your people? Hmm what about the thousands of people I hear get slaughtered? I’d play survival of the fittest but in my country me killing a man would get me jail time and im not down for that. Maybe I should just join the military, that would atleast give me some satisfaction to kill a money grubin heartless dubai pigs.

Hey. Dubai is the hottest market out there, and there’s no stopping it from it becoming one of the world’s greatest cities. If you’re going to criticize it that all of its plans are going to be doomed, just watch it succeed. You all would encourage it had you yourself lived there.
