"No one has 'designed' anything here"
Commenters reacted to the latest plans added to the Neom development. "This is the dystopian future we've all been warned about," cautioned Tadeusz Szewczyk (Tad Chef).
Tom Roberts was also concerned, writing "I have to ask if anyone would really want to live in these desolate locations". They added, "there is no sense of community, only isolation". Meanwhile, Alfred Hitchcock deduced that the whole thing was "gibberish ? no one has 'designed' anything here".
Adding some nuance to the comments section, Rob Rohena acknowledged that the design was "cool and imaginative ? feels like a Star Wars set." However, continued to say "feasible..." I guess anything is possible with enough money and human rights violations".
