I assume other people already know about this, but I just read about it today. This is completely bonkers:
“Saudi Arabia is building a futuristic mega-city 33 times the size of New York City from scratch.”
The crazy part is mostly the from Scratch part combined with the location, NYC is honestly pretty compact - my completely normal city is already about 20 times the size of NYC. Another 13 NYCs on top is pretty large, but hardly unimaginable.
This feels a lot like a scam. There have been a lot of massive construction/terraforming projects in that region that ended up petering out over the decades.
Can a mod please move these posts to another thread? I worry that things may heat up in here.
EDIT: Thank you.
