>>20806188The Emirates had infinite money to build whatever they wanted, and with this they built Dubai. Its what you get when you try and buy character and prestige. The city is just absolutely devoid of a soul, everything about it comes across as artificial. It's like a rich kid with no talent buying expensive ski's to try and fit in with old ski bums, just absolutely tone deaf. Big tall shiny buildings aren't what makes a city great.
Not to mention it was built by slave labour.
