That's a rather terse way of putting it in your own words. I’m not sitting through 22-minute homework; unless, of course, there's a membership-length double standard at play. Such illustrious community is surely above it.

The fundamental flaw of The Line’s design is that almost any other geometric configuration would be superior. Urban infrastructure--water, sewage, power, transportation, logistics, even basic services like mail and childcare--functions more efficiently and with greater resilience in a compact, adaptable layout. A rigid, linear city introduces needless complexity, multiplies failure points, and ignores centuries of urban planning in favor of a gimmick. Like that time the internet lost its collective shit over architects, if you could call them that, who wanted to dangle skyscrapers from orbit.

But, practicality was never the point. This is a monument to ego, built not for livability but to flatter the vanity of petro-rich chasing a 'legacy' through grandiose, impractical spectacles. Feasibility and utility are afterthoughts, what matters is that it looks like an achievement, even if it’s an unworkable, status-marking waste of good desert.

The fact we're even talking about it tells them it's money well spent.
