Cause who could have foreseen that leveraging absurd oil prices to get crazy lines of credit extended to you in order to build a playground city for the mega-rich in the middle of the desert would be a bad idea!

So Dubai's economic solvency is dubious?

I hate to say it, but it's the no alcohol/drug laws that killed dubai.
-
You can't drink alcohol in dubai? how the fuck were they expecting to turn that into a tourist city?

yeah, IIRC someone brought that up a while back?

I am pretty sure you can drink in your own home it's only during Ramadan when you can't eat in front of Muslims etc.

I think it's kind of distinguished mentally-challenged to think that Dubai is just going to turn into a gold rush era ghost town. The arab people still take great pride in it and there is still plenty of money in that part of the world to make it viable.
You just won't see the same explosive growth you had seen in the past decade. It will be a more measured and more responsible one. So, it will probably become stronger in the long run.
Not to mention that when the global economy does come back, gas prices will go right back to 100-120 dollars/bl and they will be flush with money again. It's not if ... it's when.

Waarom draait heel de wereld om geld
Waarom is er nog steeds zoveel geweld
Waarom toch blijft de armoede bestaan
Waarom gaat heel het leefmilieu eraan
Waarom is er geen brood voor iedereen
Waarom zijn zoveel mensen zo alleen
Waarom stak jij je vinger in mijn gat
Dacht jij misschien dat ik daar deugd van had?

I can imagine all the Indian slave workers pouring out of various buildings and a lone Jinfash with two sawed off shotguns
