Quote of the day: Dubai Was A Bad Idea? Who Knew

If you thought I had schaedenfreud for housing in Yaletown, it is nothing compared to my feelings to Dubai. That place is the worst. Smashing Telly:

"Short of opening a Radio Shack in an Amish town, Dubai is the world’s worst business idea, and there isn’t even any oil. Imagine proposing to build Vegas in a place where sex and drugs and rock and roll are an anathema. This is effectively the proposition that created Dubai - it was a stupid idea before the crash, and now it is dangerous.

Dubai threatens to become an instant ruin, an emblematic hybrid of the worst of both the West and the Middle-East and a dangerous totem for those who would mistakenly interpret this as the de facto product of a secular driven culture."
