Oh dear. The man has a point of view? Well of course, anything he says is worthless.

I did a search for his other articles and I don't find him too far out there.

Plenty of other stories have come out about Dubai's wreckless "investing" and the army of expats building all of that stuff. This 60 Minutes piece has some interesting stuff:

Nat. Geo. has had at least one good article about it complete with scenes and info on the housing for the enslaved South Asians building all those monstrosities.

Dubai is an aberration.
