I was visiting there in 2019. Of the hundreds of thousands of balconies there, I saw less than a hundred with lights on ~10pm.
It's far away too. ~18km to get there from Iskandar Puteri (not intensely dense, but sees some traffic due to legoland), and ~35km from Johor Bahru (the main city area of Johor).
They must have done the whole build it and they will come thing before realising no one wants to live in a ghost town.
At least it looked kinda impressive???
Paywall. How many units are sold/empty?
9,000 people, way below its 700,000 target.
Lol. Let's see if that will change in the next year's.
When are we going to learn that these huge all at once attempts to build a new "city" are just foolish. People don't just move to a city because you build it. There has to be jobs, culture and other reasons to be there.
Move it to Canada.
Downvoted for paywall
God forbid people get paid for their labor
Let’s be cautious in assuming that all paywalls protect labor.
