More than five years after the Jeddah Tower was suddenly put to a complete stop, its construction finally resumes. But why now? What has changed? And why is neighboring Dubai already planning to build an even taller structure?

What are the biggest drawbacks?

@Volkbrecht 8 ай бұрын

@@tealsquare It's an ugly pile of buildings, with a climate that makes being outside rather unpleasant for about half of the year. Having fun there means going to some inside place to spend money. Ah, and it's pretty much impossible to move around without a car (or taxis). Not only because of the weather or lack of public transportation. There are simply no boardwalks, and where there are, they often end randomly at some point. The upsides: Saudis are by and large friendly people, and if you have money, you can get pretty much anything you want. Apart from booze, although that's not really a big deal after a few weeks of being there.

So tell me, what problem does the Jeddah Tower solve?

@@Isaac-cl8ioI’d rather see a taller building than war. For example back when Russia and the US were competing to get to the moon. Russia made it to space first and orbited the moon first and the us made it on the moon first. To me this is so much better for humanity as a whole. It’s a friendly competition thing and advances technology and public spending. I’d also love to see a government so broke from building massive buildings and advances in technology to make it to space that they can’t spend anymore on war and expansionism. I know, bring it back to reality. Just saying that’s what I’d prefer. I think most people on the planet are sick and tired of governments waging war with people that the public has no problem with.
