Be glad you aren’t in Dubai

Dubai can be a great place to break a journey home from Europe, but this article suggests that investment in at least some strata schemes (e g the artificial sand islands that have changed the view of the Gulf from outer space) is not for the faint-hearted — even if they are expats on brilliant ‘packages’.  In effect, it appears that the developer and the ongoing building/strata manager (who seems to be an integral and ongoing part of the package) are both part of ‘Dubai Inc’.

It makes some of the problems described in Flat Chat seem rather small beer.
