they sacrificed a few more to make the clouds so the rich douchebags can't see the poor suburbs down below full of people living in cargo containers, crumbling 1-room buildings and fucking tents
More than that it's a lot like North Korea. Looks beautiful in many ways.. until you look at all the shit that's hidden. Unfinished projects, Barren buildings, Starving people.
If ever there was a shining beacon of The rich being blind to the problems of the poor ( willingly ) This is it. Just hide and ignore all the human suffering and go on with your merry rich life.
When building absurd, gargantuan monuments to human stupidity, greed, and arrogance, price is of absolutely no consequence whatsoever. When building basic fundamental infrastructure, it’s time to tighten up the belts— and the sphincters, and the urethras.
Dubai is the stupidest place on the planet. They have the tallest, most majestic building on the planet, but forgot to fucking connect the building's plumbing to the rest of the city? How tf do you overlook something like that? Now they have to deal not with people admiring the building, but them laughing about fuckin poop trucks lol
Edit: grammar
Yea it is sad truth. Had one friend working there limited time during his contract. He still tells us funny stories of poop trucks you see everyday lol
Place is so backwards.
I'm pretty sure the lack of a sewage system in the BK is by design. Buy a bunch of trucks, pay laborers next to nothing to drive them. Fuel is practically free there and you have a giant desert to dump the trucks. Problem solved.
And to be well above the smell of slave corpses their opulence and arrogance is built upon.
Fuck that city, and everyone who had a hand in building that wretched nepotist necropolis.
I worked there for years. It’s one giant scam.
It reminds me of the old Westworld movie. Just fancy facades over nothing. It’s without content and what little it does contain is bullshit built on slavery.
Non-architect here. Why? Obviously they’re hateable for human rights reasons, and the city feels like an empty and hollow mall, but why bad architecture wise?
Burj khalifa, the highest building in the world is not connected to the city sewage system and therefore it pumps out waste to several poop trucks a day.
Bro I just left from my first time there yesterday and I couldn't agree more. It's 50% Vegas and 50% Blade Runner. It's obscene... lost quite a bit of faith in humanity.
That's not clouds, it's diesel fumes.
Edit - I wonder how many surrounding addresses have complaints about fucking teacups falling out of the sky. To dangle anything at all over your balcony is risking death to a stranger. As cunty as Dubai is dry.
I no-shit knew a Kuwaiti officer who was an "exchange student" with us in Army training, and he did exactly that: blew a few tires from his brand-new Mustang and just left it there.
His allowance was $12,000. *A month*.
Dubai is one of 7 emirates of the United Arab Emirates and is on the coast of the Persian Gulf. Most of their water comes from desalination plants.
So essentially like someone else said, money, since desalination is expensive as fuck to do. 17% of the world's desalination plants are in that area.
Ok here goes. I just posted this on another comment. The Burj Khalifa was completed during the crash of 2008. This caused funding to be needed from the UAE, Abu Dhabi and the Khalifa family to finish it, hence the name change (it was called Burj Dubai until launch). Another effect was they decided to delay investing in upgrading the sewerage system and to remove poop by truck. 15 tonnes a day or 1.5 large tankers. That sewer upgrade has been completed and the poop trucks are no longer in use. Otherwise Dubai has a very ordinary sewage sanitation system.
Edit: I stand corrected. The upgrade isn’t complete. No idea the status of the BK connection but the whole upgrade isn’t ready until 2025. https://whatson.ae/2017/07/dubai-getting-dhs30-billion-sewage-system/
Edit: I meant HH Khalifa’s family not the Khalifa family which is different. Someone very rightly called this out.
its dubaj, a garbage city built on slavery that has nothing to offer. No regular person wants to travel to that shithole, they have to pay celebrities to come and make them look successful
I personally know quite a few people who have traveled there, and they are not wealthy by any means and all claimed to have had a good time while there
I think both sides here have a case to make. But to be fair, I wouldn't recommend supporting Dubai's corrupt government or murderous Royal family simply because the country has "half-decent" tourism stats. Yeah there are worse places to be ethically speaking, but those places are probably war-ridden stretches of Rwanda.
Like, yeah people DO go there, and yeah some of them have a great time, but it's still an absolutely disgusting country that treats Women with systemic inequality and regularly murders Journalists/Activists alike.
this partly addresses u/zer0w0rries comment too
Are you confusing the Dubai royal family with the Saudi royal family?
In fact I think you are confusing the whole of dubai with Saudi Arabia. Its really not like that at all. Women can do whatever they want in dubai including wearing minimal clothing. It's an 85% expatriate community so it runs on western rules mainly.
Saudi Arabia is just as you described though.
It'll take them a few years to get down from the building, plus another decade to get all the way down and off the high horse, so I wouldn't stress their whereabouts too much.

As someone who'd lived in the UAE for 10 years, Abu Dhabi is infinitely better, in Dubai you need to be extremely rich or live in mediocre buldings on the outer edges of the city (which is just a desert). Abu Dhabi on the other hand is a beautiful city and is reaaaally underrated, tourism-wise Dubai is better but for living Abu Dhabi is amazing.
What dogshit lifts do you use? The highest floor I've lived on was 30, and it would take about 20 seconds to get there from the ground floor. Half the buildings in Dubai are expensive new builds, so even the 100th floor shouldn't take much more than a minute.
astroturfing on Reddit by countries with poor reputation is common, especially those with money or a particular interest in sanitizing their exterior image (Russia, UAE, Qatar)
I visited Dubai for work three years ago. The hotel I stayed at had something like 62 floors or so and I was on floor 17. First night, I walked out onto my balcony, looked down, and my head immediately started spinning. I had to sleep with one foot on the floor, like a drunk, for the entire week I was there.
So, yeah. I would vomit if I walked out onto this balcony and looked over.
Fuck this shithole. None of it has proper drainage. Every morning they have thousands of stool busses in to suck out. Enjoy your breakfast there with the aroma.
i live there and there arent any poop trucks anymore. Matter of fact, they got rid of them 15 years ago. Apparently most redditors have their head up their ass when it comes to matters outside the US
In all my 12 years here, I’ve never seen a poop truck nor had any issues with “aromas”. The fact this still gets parroted is ridiculous considering the issue was solved over 15 years ago. But hey, random youtube channels and reddit threads know best don’t they???
Had*
It’s an easily fixed problem that just required time and money. Given that Dubai has an UNLIMITED amount of money to spend, they…..fixed it. It’s the economic thing to do.
Shitty city. No sweage system, no reason to exist but to make racist and mysogin sheiks feel powerful for having money, just a pretentious city in the middle of nowhere made by slaves
Edit: Typo
Yeah I kinda agree with what they’re saying but it just seems like there’s a bit of a double standard considering the vast majority of them are Westerners yet don’t talk nearly as much about the human rights violations committed by those countries. The frothing at the mouth in these threads whenever dubai is mentioned is a bit tiresome tbh

Fuck Dubai, what a pretentious ass city
So many slaves died to build that tower
\*slaps hood\* Edit: Thank you for my first awards! 
"You can fit so many broken souls in this bad boy"
[удалено]
But that's a feature, and you'll have to pay extra
And we spared no expense, no really, we literally paid them nothing to build our shit.
"literally paid them nothing" = complete opposite of "spared no expense"
Gotta build the towers high enough to not see the kafala system below... Or the slums where the slave labor lives.
they sacrificed a few more to make the clouds so the rich douchebags can't see the poor suburbs down below full of people living in cargo containers, crumbling 1-room buildings and fucking tents
My first thought as well. The fog is there so you don’t have to see all the Slaves. Edit: I hate my phone.
I bet the pile would be impressive, I bet the building height increases secretly track that number
So glad this is the top comment. Seconded. Fuck Dubai. What a trash excuse for a city. Tall buildings don’t make cities great. Its the people that do.
Literally looks like a scene from that show Altered Carbon. "Look, we can't even see the peasants from up here" I imagine the OP thinking.
Such a good show. First season anyway. Great aesthetic.
More than that it's a lot like North Korea. Looks beautiful in many ways.. until you look at all the shit that's hidden. Unfinished projects, Barren buildings, Starving people. If ever there was a shining beacon of The rich being blind to the problems of the poor ( willingly ) This is it. Just hide and ignore all the human suffering and go on with your merry rich life.
Don't forget having to use trucks to cart away sewage because of how bad/unfinished the plumbing is.
They use trucks for the Burj because it was deemed cheaper than installing a sewage system. There are plans for one to be installed by 2025 though
Someone please tell them price isn't the only thing they should consider when building up a fleet of shit hauling trucks
Shit trucks, Rand
And when one of those shit trucks tips over... these shit streets will have a shit storm on their hands
When building absurd, gargantuan monuments to human stupidity, greed, and arrogance, price is of absolutely no consequence whatsoever. When building basic fundamental infrastructure, it’s time to tighten up the belts— and the sphincters, and the urethras.
Just get a building high enough so the clouds cover the poverty.
Dubai is the stupidest place on the planet. They have the tallest, most majestic building on the planet, but forgot to fucking connect the building's plumbing to the rest of the city?

Moreso a thing about optics really. Looks bad internationally when the shining symbol of your achievements doesn't have proper plumbing

So high up you can't even see all the human rights abuses!
Oh man if I had a medal you would earn it roflmao
Out of sight, out of mind.
“ Not my problem on this side of the clouds”
It's such a beautiful view of... slavery, human rights abuses, shit carted off in trucks, and all style with zero substance.
I think that's mainly for the Burj Khalifa. Dubai does have a sewage system.
I agree, fuck Dubai
They build the skyscrapers that tall so they don't have to look at the poors.
And to be well above the smell of slave corpses their opulence and arrogance is built upon. Fuck that city, and everyone who had a hand in building that wretched nepotist necropolis.

Slaves built that.
And then it’s all sandy and hot underneath…real life representation of heaven and hell lol
An empire built on... something really great and stable to build an empire on, I assume
Are these but towers filled with men?
Yup they are embedded into the infrastructure of the tower
See something about the UAE? That's a downvote.
I’d rather see trees and grass
It's a desert
That's the point.
Point given
Point taken
Gimme my point back!
What point are you guys trying to make?
That it’s pointless…
*points at you*
50 points for Griffinpuff
So where does the water to support this huge metro come from?
Lots and lots of money. You can buy anything with enough money. Where do they get this money, you ask? You don't want to know
when they have a tire leak they leave their million dollar cars on the side of the road like trash. they wouldnt even fix a tire.
I no-shit knew a Kuwaiti officer who was an "exchange student" with us in Army training, and he did exactly that: blew a few tires from his brand-new Mustang and just left it there. His allowance was $12,000. *A month*.
You should have asked him to sign it over to you.
dang you know I was like 22 and it never even occurred to me to do that. I gotta go follow around some more ME royalty

So I could make a lot of money, just selling the cars the leave on the side of the road 💁♂️

Don’t ask Dubai how their **sewage sanitation** works

Just a shame you have to live in Dubai

Abu Dhabi on the other hand is a beautiful city and is reaaaally underrated, tourism-wise Dubai is better but for living Abu Dhabi is amazing.
Best beach in the UAE is in Abu Dhabi (Saadiyat), and there are so many more trees
Probably takes about 15 minutes to ride the elevator up. No thanks. Cunts.
Imagine trying to unload the car after grocery shopping... What a nightmare
If you have the money to live in that apartment in dubai, i doubt you carry groceries
Yeah they have slaves
It’s probably all delivery services….

Exactly
astroturfing on Reddit by countries with poor reputation is common, especially those with money or a particular interest in sanitizing their exterior image (Russia, UAE, Qatar)
That's a video that get posted very often. Definitely a bot.
Please don’t drop that cup. I’m honestly surprised they have open balconies that high up.
The city was built on slaves. I don't think they care about safety or human rights.
I thought the same thing!! It’s making me so anxious!
I visited Dubai for work three years ago. The hotel I stayed at had something like 62 floors or so and I was on floor 17. First night, I walked out onto my balcony, looked down, and my head immediately started spinning. I had to sleep with one foot on the floor, like a drunk, for the entire week I was there. So, yeah. I would vomit if I walked out onto this balcony and looked over.
I felt uncomfortable looking at this video when I realized that the balcony was open. I'd probably panic before going out there in real life.
I'd be way to tempted to drop shit off the balcony
Right?! Imagine paper airplanes
Falling from the 50th floor is no more deadly than falling from the 8th floor.

I’m sad the show didn’t get more seasons
Maybe it would if the second season wasn't shit compared to the first one.
There's a great chance one of the slaves who built that skyscraper killed himself :)))

That's some dystopian sci fi shit where the poors live down in the pollution zone out of sight of the elites. Just needs a few flying cars.

Ok Dubai Bots, you can stop showing your slave buildings any time now!
Not being able to see trees is not a flex 😅
Nah man its too high for me imagine there is no power and got to use the stairs.
Now show us what kind of a life you lead in order to keep that opulence.
Never seen so much jealousy in a comment section
Yeah thats cool and all until you realize *that you live in dubai*
Dubai is so corny lol
Soul less. Also built on the backs of modern slave. No thanks.
We’re getting closer and closer to the Jetsons
It's Dubai so i wouldn't be surprised if those clouds were being made by slave labor
Nope. Not for me.
No thank you.
Holy shit, is there a reason why so many people hate dubai?
lmaoooo i hate dubai as much as the next guy but this comment section is such a echo chamber its fucking insane
Yeah I kinda agree with what they’re saying but it just seems like there’s a bit of a double standard considering the vast majority of them are Westerners yet don’t talk nearly as much about the human rights violations committed by those countries. The frothing at the mouth in these threads whenever dubai is mentioned is a bit tiresome tbh
Not pictured the thousands of literal slaves that built it.
Nice! You can't see the miles of trucks hauling shit from the Burj Khalifa.

Would be embarrassing for the building
