Re: Pointless Examples of Government Interference: No. 478
Call me cynical, but when you consider it with this recent ruling:

is it just me or does 2 million seem ever so slightly high for a population figure for abu dhabi?

I've not yet read the article but my instant retort to your comment Deano is that the sanitation and sewerage systems here do not really cope with multiple occupancy. Imagine the summer stench in a villa housing 10-20 occupants.

https://www.cia.gov/library/publicat...k/geos/ae.html Like the plan to make stop giving housing allowance to employees of government companies who don't live in Abu Dhabi this is surely just another ill thought through ploy to try and fill empty houses and apartments, of which there are barrel loads. |

According to the ever reliable CIA they estimated the population of Abu Dhabi to be 666,000 in 2009, so yeah 2m seem an extremely high figure today.

I recall in 2009, Dubai continually coming out with ridiculous figures that they were issuing more residency visas than ever and that the population was growing faster than ever, despite the economy being in freefall. It was all part of the state of denial to pretend there was no crisis. The problem with such things is that you can get away with it for a year, but after several years of made up growth, the difference between what you say your population is, and the actual figure is so big as to be completely laughable. They keep talking about transparency, but if you cannot even put out believable figures on things like this, nobody is really going to trust anything else you say. |

Maybe more than a plan (of which I also thought would never see the light of day!) |

Did I read it here or hear it elsewhere? Can't remember, but apparently for visa renewals it is or will become a requirement to give evidence of where you live. Monthly furnished apartments could become popular.

What is worrying though - will the hookers put up their prices to reflect their increased costs, or do you think they will... er, suck it up? |
