I smell the making of a monstrous ghost city.

"...It will be wrapped in a mirrored exterior"

I know where they can get all the mirrors they need...dirt cheap.

It sounds like the making of the most expensive Vanity Project on earth, serving not very many people when/ if completed. I’m thinking of my CA Gov. Newsom’s Train To Nowhere boondogle, multiplied by a factor of 15.
Dubai is another middle east location, noted for it’s numerous excessively overbuilt public structures, done mainly ‘because they can.’

You look up “boondoggle” in the dictionary and there’s a picture of this development. Are they trying to outdo the Chinese in mega-cities where nobody actually lives?

Oil does not come from fossils. Secondly, we have more oil than we can use.

It’s all part of Saudis’ long-term plan to become the world’s largest exporter of scrap steel.
