They built a 1 trillion dollar failed city
stands in front of Las Vegas
(I'm imagining Boy Boy doing this as a video)
This city houses one of the unequal societies in the world.

It's built in the middle of the desert, and puts a massive strain on the environment.

And it's completely dominated by organized crime cartels.

Just think, that city could have paid for 100 failed military actions against the Houthis instead!
I still can't fully fathom how interesting the times we live in are where a country with a navy is losing a naval battle to a country without a navy
Real life is adapting to the paradox game meta of "jesus christ navies are too complicated I'm just not going to use them".
It's pretty funny. We've known for a decade at least that in a real war with China we wouldn't be able to get an aircraft carrier anywhere near their shore because of the anti-ship missiles, but now that can be true for anybody.
Its actually dogshit though regardless of the narrative because it’s meant for rich businessmen to speculate and not for people to live in. Still, tired of hearing “ghost city” in the year of our lord 2024
Yeah but on the bright side the housing stock will still be there for people to live in once the speculators eat shit.
ummm sweaty if your vacant housing stock isn't below 1% subjecting rent prices to nonlinear marginal market forces your housing policy is a FAILURE
It actually is a failure because the city is only available for rich guys to speculate on lol
i love these failed mr beast clones that turned to right wing grifting as soon as they saw the clone business was saturated.
I live in ghost city 17 in ne china on floor 17 of the ghast building.
Not a fan of the Ghast building, but as a half elf I'm immune to the paralysis effect of the Ghoul building so I don't mind staying there.
Flashback to 2008 watching YouTube. Some asshole filming in an in construction Chinese city. So empty; Wow they just as bad as us.
2010 oh, is city .
still laugh when i see people like "theres nothing in these units in this high-rise its not even finished". yeah. thats chinese culture. you buy the condo or whatever and you are literally expected to do the drywall, fixtures, and all that yourself for those new constructions. its also normal to buy one someone else owned and rip everything out to the studs and redo it. its based in some traditional mysticism or something
Yeah seems like a housing project that failed entirely. Guess it is what it is, there are many that succeeded and there's bound to be failures also lol to the speculators eating shit though
That one video of a half dozen towers all being demo'd at once comes to mind.
chad asians respecting their ancestors so much they even build them cities /s
Honestly an interesting concept for a tomb, making a living space for a dead person.
GHOST city with its GHOST high speed rail and bustling GHOST markets full of GHOSTS and high quality healthSCARE and a university full of BONES where you can study medicine
