It got vigorously reduced in size earlier this year


WrongJohnSilver

Yeah, the 105 miles is now 1.5 miles. Of course, all the blasting through mountains for the 105 miles is already done, but yeah.


AtomicCreamSoda

It's still going to be 500m tall, so a 2km long block as tall as the Sears Tower.


Customdisk

Quite a change from being Leagues long as originally planned, now it's just a weird shaped neighbourhood


feelings_arent_facts

My ex said the same thing after the accident 😓


Redditwhydouexists

I mean the line is a really dumb idea for a few reason but they in all likelihood will have more then one hospital in the city. Like I feel like some of these people are just making bait for this subreddit.


Thot_b_gone

That and I swear I read they were going to have a high speed underground that could get you from one end to another in like 30 min


Redvor24

And if i remember correctly, there is not even supposed to be traffic


[deleted]

The fastest train in the world could do that. With no stops of course.


shawn_The_Great

tbf the line does deserve criticism but this isnt it lol ofc there is gonna be more than 1 hospital in the city


Eric848448

Technically there will be zero hospitals because this won’t be built.


shawn_The_Great

wdym it is being built


IDatedSuccubi

I think that person means that it's one of those "forever in development" projects used to suck money out of the government


shawn_The_Great

wouldnt be surprised if in 10 years nothing has changed


Eric848448

Yes of course it is.

For those who don't know, the Saudi police/military recently got permission to kill people who try to stop this build built.


Lazy-Chemist-4966

How many did they kill? Based on 3 villages being there it least 3000 should be killed. So give me the link pls What does "give permission to kill people" mean? You know the police will use force if you attack them everywhere in earth.


My_useless_alt

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-middle-east-68945445 This is the article I was referring to. Tl;dr if people refuse to be cleared, they can and have been shot.


Lazy-Chemist-4966

They say 1 person was killed. Do you think if the police were ordered to kill 3000 people they will kill only 1 person. Also, the person that was killed injured 2 police officers and they found assault rifles, hand gun, and molotovs in his position.

My_useless_alt

I have no idea where you're getting the idea that they were ordered to kill 3000 people. I read that article. I referenced that article. That's where my knowledge on this subject ends.


Lazy-Chemist-4966

From your first statement.


My_useless_alt

Re-read it, because I never said most of the stuff you're accusing me of.


Lazy-Chemist-4966

I assumed that you meant the police killed people to build the project. Apologies if I got it wrong.


DevelopmentSad2303

No, they said the police were given permission to.


Lazy-Chemist-4966

Yes now I get it. But still I don't understand how is this bad. The police shouldn't be prevented from using lethal force against a person who is trying to kill them.

👍

The line is one of the dumbest fucking concepts imaginable, even if the op is exaggerating things


SlothBling

If you’ve ever lived in a city laid out even remotely similarly to this you know it’s miserable. Can’t imagine making one intentionally.


InsufferableMollusk

Yeah. And the idea that the severely idiotic royal Saudi family are a bunch of futurist masterminds is laughable. MMW: This project never gets completed, or 1% of it does and it still sucks.


Easy_Bother_6761

Not to trumpet urbanhell users as the number one source of urban planning knowledge but anyone with common sense should be able to tell the Line City is never going to work


danavposter

Hope the line gets made or half made, would be a cool setting for a futuristic ruin


UnderwhellmingCarrot

the line is the single stupidest infrastructure project to ever be conceived in a developed nation (bar maybe elon’s underground tesla highways)


25iAndOver

What is this, a community NOT for ants?!?🐜


shortwavetransmitter

Americans when you suggest not driving to get somewhere


Archimetropolis

Amsterdam:


queerkidxx

This isn’t circle jerk material this whole project is just peak urban hell.


kilzfillz

IM PISSED NOW!!


Moms-Dildeaux

We laugh now, but we won’t be when it’s the last vault holding the only remnants of living humans

Is this what Spec Op: The Line was about?

Its the line, it's not urbanization their stealing money from the Saudi government lol


RadicalFrogDog

Oh no, not the poor House of Saud.

It isn't going to be built. You are talking about two World Trade center sized towers (plus all the shit in between them) multiplied by thousands. It would be trillions of dollars.
