Thanks for all your support over the years ❤ Would you like to see more videos like this? And what do you think about NEOM?

[barsch]

If even one of these projects will be finished and stay commercially viable for any amount of time i will be massively impressed.

[MatthewRumble]

Here is my prediction. They will complete about 20% of its full length before realizing that the initial vision has to be scaled down tremendously due to the sheer amount of cost and time it will take

[lucysnowe]

How cheerful this dude is about a looming dystopia is dystopian in itself.

[retiredwonks]

Minimalist plan (*just a thought exercise):
1. Build 1km (length) of The Line’s towers/structures at each of the 9 transit stops, but with just 1 tower & not 2. Substitute the second southernmost tower with a 100m tall x 1km length solar energy collector panel. This preserves the middle area as seen in the artists conceptions.
2. Skip Trojena: ski areas with borderline freezing temperatures just don’t work. Just ask any of the USA’s southernmost ski areas about their struggles in the warm years.
3. Sindalah and Hidden Marina are most likely to be the success stories. The Line might then work as a suburb and transit system for them.

I really struggle to imagine any of these projects either getting finished, or if they somehow do, managing to stay afloat. Dubai has already proved time and time again that a lot of these huge scale projects just aren't attractive to outside investors/residents, especially in these climates.

[andynonomous]

The reduction in the train system is a microcosm of how this whole project will end up. It will be far far far below what was promised.

[thomassharples]

Sand will pile up on the sides of The Line and the other projects on the coasts and on the islands will be swallowed by the sea. Good stuff 👍

[mmarriott]

Thanks for the update. So basically, it hasn't started.

[rrrenaissanceee]

"The vision is that everything is within walking distance." flash forward to "The number of subway stops has been reduced from 48 to 9". So basically, you have to walk 8.5km one way to get to a location in between stops now. This level of city planning at this early stage should paint a pretty clear picture for the urban hell that is to come.

[Randomfluctuation]

All these projects are just madness madness madness... imagine what amazing and ACTUALLY sustainable things could be done with all that money, effort and workpower

[EmeraldView]

I will absolutely need a place to park my yacht. Thanks Sindala.

[dawlesstech]

The future dystopia will be heralded in a cheerful, advertiser-friendly voice.

[Reaperman]

We've had the ability to make cities in straight lines from the very beginning, and didn't for good reasons. It's artificially crowded and limits mobility--which are enough issues already, without even needing to think up minor disasters.

[Nooneaskedforthis]

I have no words for how dystopian this is going to be. You be surprised if it lasts more than a year.

[chickarma]

My nephew is literally over there as we speak over seeing the build he sent all kinds of videos its so cool

[lprinceofficiel]

Thanks for keeping me up to date on this project.

[aegean]

Top luxury doing a face reveal is the most shocking thing ever

[djwhat]

While I think The Line won’t be completely done by 2030, if they can really finish this and it becomes a success, I’ll be very surprised.

[teeds]

I'm somewhat confident that they will finish those projects at least in a comparable scope as they planned to. However I'm just very sceptical that these structures/cities will be used. You can create what you want, but you can't force anyone to use what you've created. How can they have so much confidence that enough people will want this? Did they calculate the massive extra budget for incentivizing people to live there? What's the plan?
