Do I think the whole The Line will be built? No. Do I wish Saudi Arabia good luck? Yes!!! This is an amazing mega project that shows SciFi levels of ambition.
Construction has started. There’s no way the whole thing will be finished in our lifetime, however, sections of it could. And those sections could be spectacular and true marvels that I really hope to see with my own eyes someday.

@MuslimCowgirl it is so spectacularly ambitious that it is hard not to. I really do think if it is even partially successful it could kick start a new way of living. No sprawling cities, no streets full of cars… as an experiment it is very interesting!
@gpowerf @MuslimCowgirl I was reading about the proposal and it seems like a risky investment: extremely expensive and likely to fail. Although just having a long city is not controversial in and of itself; the city I grew up in is long with a highway running through the center. The extreme dimensions of The Line are concerning, though
@gpowerf I am strangely rooting for KSA on this project, too.
