Hmmm..I'm not sure I want Kuwait to turn into another Dubai (no offence), but that pic you've shown of Dubai was an environmental hazard :)
Call me old-fashioned (or maybe just OLD :)) but sometimes I hate drastic change. I like when I drive through Gulf Road to be able to actually SEE the sea!
What's there to like about Dubai so much?? The traffic congestion, steep house rents and utilities bills, sub-standard private schooling or a crappy health service (not much different to Kuwait's). Or wait, the Russian and Indian mafia there?
Kuwait can not reach the progress levels reached by Dubai, mainly because of its closed economy. Like it or not/ disagree or not, expats run most business' in Kuwait. As long as Kuwait's economy is unfavorable to foreign investors, no progress will be possible I mean a foreigner can not own his/her own business. You may argue that, its done only to protect the citizens of the country. It is a good thing that Kuwait provides its citizens everything, but with the laws in place, it is also counter productive. The laws of the country discourage ambition by regular Kuwaities. The only progress/development efforts, come from members of the Sabah family, who have lots of money to piss away. But why would a regular Kuwaiti, who is provided all kinds of incentives, risk losing all his money, trying to start a huge business, that can possibly go under, when he/she can go every year for vacations to places in Europe or build fancy houses?!?
Well, I truly hope so!!
