Thanks to Noodles for pointing this out: Dubai's Burj Khalifa, formerly the Burj Dubai, is unoccupied and shut down.Electrical problems are at least partly to blame for the closure of the Burj Khalifa's viewing platform – the only part of the half-mile high tower open yet. But a lack of information from the spire's owner left it unclear whether the rest of the largely empty building – including dozens of elevators meant to whisk visitors to the tower's more than 160 floors – was affected by the shutdown.Miami x10 = Dubai. Dubai x10 = China. Things are about to get ugly. As in, things will happen that are unimaginable right now.
Remember, 90% off habitable Dubai real estate.

It's "whom", not "who". You use objective case, since "you love them", not "you love they".
That is all. ;-p
May I presume that "uninhabitable" Dubai RE will be fine then?

What's habitable there?
What's visitable there?
I'd rather go to Sevilla, la sartén de España (the frying-pan of Spain), just as hot, but with real people, and thousand-year old architecture.
I am long on the dollar.
As for that Burj thing, I wonder if it will end up like so many of those buildings they built in N. Korea that just sit empty, without even any power running to them.
Grammar Nazi, if you even have kids to love, I'm sure they hate you for incessantly nitpicking their grammar. Seriously, go away. You add nothing productive to this discussion.
That is all.
Reorrrrr, pussycat!
Short term yes, but if you think about the rail roads back in the 19th, the internet in the 21st century and other examples, in the short run big stinking sink holes. But a generation later it drives the economy...lots of sinkholes along the way. When you are trying to move from the 18th century to the 21st there will be big mistakes along the way, we did it over hundreds of years, while they are trying to do it in a generation...just don't be early money and let's pray it doesn't flow over to our economy.
I watched a fluff piece documentary on the building of the Burj Dubai. The guys looked like a couple of indecisive kids with a toy set. The engineering firms had to constantly change major major structural and electrical things literally ever day since they would redesign it on a whim.
How the thing made it this far blows my mind.
Fantastic real estate blog post! Pictures are worth thousands of words, it’s nice to see the attention to detail from your end. Thanks
