Is your life as dark as your writing or do you simply enjoy spreading misery.My predictions...
Imagine 10 years down the line.
A finished metro system (True but very few takers due to the crotching heat and lack of "reliable public transport" leading to the metro.
The two tallest buidlings in the world,Burj Dubai plus Nakheel Tower (Nakheel Tower will be cancelled)
Another 7/8 'Supertowers' (All Meraas "supertowers" shall be cancelled, Meraas will most probably never finish any project. Poor planing! Bad timing! Wrong attitude!
Two fantastic airports.Possibly the biggest airline company in the world,Emirates (Emirates will declare banktrupcy in the next 3 yrs)
The two biggest malls in the world.Dubai Mall and COA Mall.MOE with the ski slope (Two biggest malls and no shoppers.. have you been to Dubai Mall lately? The traffic inside the mall is hopelessly low now even during the Eid season! COA will obviously be cancelled.)
3 finished and inhabited palm islands.The magnificent Palm Jumeriah with Atlantis,QE2,Trump hotel (There will be no Palm Jebel Ali and absolutely NO PALM DEIRA)
Dubailand with a number of operating theme parks and attractions (Most of the parks are already cancelled Legoland, freej etc)
Al Bawadi well underway (Really? I wanna some pictures )
A thriving Business Bay (Business Bay prices collapsed long before the UAE market crashed)
Arabian Canal completed and with many buildings under way/finished (Arabian Canal project will be cancelled by 2009)
Waterfront well under way and including theme parks etc (The waterfront will be just 1/20th of the size originally planned)
Countless fantastic and opulent hotels,clubs,bars,cafes,restaurants.The
fantastic promenade of shops,bars at JBR (No takers)
Dubai Marina. (Deserted... so many buildings with such low occupancy..wont work forever)
Beaches and sun (Sand and heat)
God,who won't want to live here ! (Who=All of us in 5 yrs)
Life is about balancing risk and caution.
Unless you are actively trying to get people to cut and run because you want to buy cheap property, why write this?
