The story of destroying the major cities reminded me of something I had heard years ago. Similar shenanigans was occurring years ago on a smaller scale during the heady gentrification real estate redevelopment boom of the past few decades. These hot shot politically connected redevelopers would work with the local officials who had destroyed neighborhoods in their own cities. The politico destroys the neighborhood, gets paid off by the developer, the developer picks up the real estate on the cheap, government funds flow into the development, the politico makes a pile of money, the developer makes a pile of money, and the little people get to pay the tab. Now we have a globalist version of doing the same on a larger scale. Instead of neighborhoods, whole cities are in play.
Could be the destruction of our major cities, far from crafty profiteering, is just plain stupidity and shortsightedness on the part of our politicians. Creating slums has not been a positive advantage for any city. Is Pelosi happy with her once beautiful San Francisco?
I might be a little out there with this....I tend to think of the fact that while our cities and families are being routinely destroyed by crime and purposeful mismanagement there is this being promoted by some of those "smart people" who think that we need to live like hamsters in a cage. https://www.npr.org/2022/07/26/1113670047/saudi-arabia-new-city-the-mirror-line-desert
I wonder if this is the goal because they think destroying the way we live will make us more compliant so they can control more people.
Thanks for the heads-up on a project I was not aware of. Very interesting, but assuming this is in line with the destruction of our cities is premature. Smacks of a kneejerk reaction to the Saudis and the Kashoggi affair which is still murky. Maybe this is a positive development in city planning.
