Saudi Arabia’s plan to build a 170km long, 500m tall, mirrored city in the desert as one of their megaprojects filled with 9 million people has now been curtailed to 2.4km long.
According to Bloomberg, Saudi Arabia’s government has “scaled back its medium-term ambitions” for Neom, of which The Line is the most significant sub-project.
The Saudi government had hoped to have 9 million residents living in "The Line" by 2030, but this has been scaled back to fewer than 300,000, according to the new report.
This curtailment of plans comes as Saudi Arabia has not yet approved the 2024 budget for Neom, according to Bloomberg sources.

patrick do you think SolanaBra and the BlockHashish crew will defeat NFIce-T in this years crytorapcon?
I'm a little leery, signing up for a plan called Delete Me... I mean, what if they're successful!?... 😯
You should've chosen a better sponsor name for this video.
Do you think musk will propose rockets for public transport instead of hyperloop?
He has presented rockets as replacement for normal airliners.
please blart my paul
Raise your hand if you knew upfront that this thing was never gonna happen.
I'm too lazy, I raised my thumb! :)
Personally I was hoping they would sink more money into it
The high paid architectural and engineering design consultants knew from day 1. LOL
I was hoping they would really go all out and make it happen.. that being said, the amount of resources required is probably mind boggling.
I think it was obvious it would fail but I was hoping they’d at least try it just to give the world a perfect capitalist science fiction dystopian city to watch from afar.
That was the most sarcastic half-hour I ever spent in my life.
Brilliant! I am starting to watch for a second time ;)
And it was GLORIOUS!
The script writes itself. I swear its not that hard.
Yes, in terms of sarcastic content, I think Patrick even outdid himself with this one.
It was so tongue-in-cheek, he looked lopsided.
So happy you did NOT criticise anybody, and avoided ANY sarcasm!
You mean avoiding the sarcasm of bringing in a sponsor called "delete me" while talking about a guy that was dissolved in a bathtub?
@@carlbenz9807 Absolutely correct!
Yes, very dry, and much appreciated for its complete lack of any criticism or sarcasm.
@@carlbenz9807wtf what are talking about ?
Sarcasm was actually so unbearable that I couldn't watch more than few minutes
the wit of the host is astounding. I love the deadpan delivery. In thirty minutes, he managed to dismantle the "pipe dream". The arrogance, avarice, and hubris of this project and its "consultants" exposed in less than one hour without smiling one time. Pure genius. Kudos to you Mr. Boyle.
A literal pipe dream
I. Agree the comment so witty!
Tribal religious people living in an extreme tech city is pure madness
This is taller than Empire State building. One building costs $50-150M. You'd fit around 90 Empire State in 1.5 miles. Do the math. This will cost Trillions to tens of trillions of dollars. I hope the prince got that much money.
"The city would then naturally form a line, as it tries to get away from itself" 🤣
At least it has the courtesy to queue.
😂😂👍
I lost it here too 😂
Best line in the whole vid 😂

Regarding the transportation problem of making 412 stops in 20 minutes, the obvious person they should consult is Santa Claus, who has been doing this sort of thing for many, many years now.
Unfortunately, I believe Santa is banned in that Kingdom.
Well Santa isn’t futuristic so nah, it won’t do them any good.
Math intervenes.
I have on good info that they have in fact secured a contract with Santa for him to pull the train with his sled.
Killer comment
"Forming a line to get away from itself" is possibly the most hilarious burn yet. "You got Boyled!" is my new thing I yell at the screen
The sarcasm is next level. I looked like a weirdo laughing out loud in traffic.
having a sponsor called delete me while critisizing saudi is peak comedy
Didn’t you listen to 1 word he said? He is totally in for the project. If you believe that line wouldn’t work, you are probably a pessimist. Get a life man 😂 /s (means I was being sarcastic)
@@davranbekrozmetov9425 yeah, this project is 100% reasonable and achievable. anyone who says otherwise is just scared of the future
"Black-bag and dismember your private data! It will never be seen again or else somebody's getting dissolved in a barrel of acid!"
@@adamh1228 the line is the future! maybe as we get more advanced we'll be able to make our cities in more advanced shapes than a line! maybe we can build a city in a circular shape one day!
I just laughed out loud! I really did, not just the usual nose exhale, a full guffaw of a laugh.
The only thing dryer than the Arabian desert is Patrick Boyle's humor
I think he is neck to neck with Sabine Hossenfelder. It might be a tie!
😂😂😂
'Drier' is an adjective that describes something that has been dried. 2. 'Dryer' is a noun that refers to a machine used to reduce the amount of moisture in fabric or other material.
It's so dry, Saudi Arabia tried to build a city on him.
@@freemanz4051 Thank you for the reminder. And you must be the town crier I suppose. ;-)
This went from "oh another video with a dull guy in a suit" to "HONEEY GRAB THE POPCORN!!" very fast..🎉🎉
I must say this is best video about Neom. The wit and humor is amazing.
It is not. It just shows how the whites look down on us
Yikes neom is a different city it is already operating and people do live there
The line is a different project
“Location isn’t everything in real estate, I’ve been told it’s only one of three factors.”
Brilliant phrase
I was rolling
In this case, the 3 factors are all broken
location location location
What are the other two?
@@nidhishragav location. and location again
To be able maintain such a high level of sarcasm for 32 mins has to be respected.
Clever!
Maintain is a good word in this context, just think about the maintenance costs for this kind of project. Not easily accessible if your walls start crumbling after 10 or 20 years or some minor stuff like quick window cleaning.
it takes a line of coke in the sand.
The people of his island are known for their dryness, probably to make up for being wet all the time.
I suspect that the prince is maintaining his sarcasm for years, because all these over-the-top things, these fighting AI robot hologram dinosaur teacher NFTs, cannot possibly be anything but a satire of western techno-optimism.
I don’t understand the negativity so many people have about this project. I was enthralled by the positivity of this obviously factual news report. Thank you!
It's only humans that don't like the project
@@ZekromReshiramVolt darn those pesky humans!!
@@flaror3496Sarcasm.
@@psychokitty7268 sorry didn't notice "obviously factual news"
@flaror3496 Yeah. We all do that occasionally. I like the /s to clarify your intent..
16.45 onwards "I feel there would be a real sense of community". My favourite bit of an excellent summary. Subscribed.
"Getting on and off the hyperloop within that two second window is a young man's game" 🤣
That was the fly in the ointment for me.
I laughed out loud a dozen times. Bravo 👏

😂😂😂
It's possible for Flash or Superman.
I think DeleteMe was the perfect sponsor for this
😂😂😂
I have no doubt whatsoever that Patrick thought it too and would not be surprised if he gave them the spot just because.
Who thinks Patrick contacted them instead of the usual other way around ?
MBS would agree
DeleteMe sounds like it could have been an old Twilight Zone episode - "Be careful that you don't check the wrong box"
....your ability to keep a straight face for a full 33 minutes is commendable!! Great work, indeed!!👍👍
I've grown used to getting witty and humorous commentary on this channel, but the part about the city trying to get away from itself has reached Douglas Adams levels. Well done.
"NEOM aims to have zero work or stress-related diseases with residents all working at start-ups." I've never burst out laughing that loud in a while.
Yes, startups. Each more upstart than the last. I'm tellin' ya, the internet won't know what hit 'em!
"technology"
I did the same the the farmers traveling line 😂
They plan to fund the startups from the little pots of gold at the end of rainbows. Cynics might point out that they don't have any rain, but they simply don't understand the vision!
Is the joke that startups are actually super stressful to work at, or is it that employees at start ups do nothing?
With six times the population density of Manila, "I feel there would be a real sense of community there"
😂
🤌🏽
😂😂😂😂😂
Yea, a real good sense of "smell"
and don''t forget all the robot "people"
Thank you for this objective, balanced and 100% positive review of Neom. I think it's doomed, personally, but I'm just not as smart as the people building it.
After the end of this video, I noticed there was some weird substance around the top air intake of my laptop. I touched it to see where it had come from, and realized it was from the video as it continuously dripped pure sarcasm on my frame.
This city is what happens if you give a five year old crayons.
I absolutely disagree. No child ever would come up with a straight line. You need well educated people to come up with something that stupid.
@davidzoller9617 as someone else once said, they're not well educated, just expensively educated.
This city is another example of the ridiculousness of the 2010s: Dubai, Elon Musk, OceanGate, Trump, etc. The world lost the plot for a while.
@@SalimAsitTrump is a sensational idea…and Musk’s Starlink is epic..
Or a spoiled Prince access to pharma grade recreational drugs
Hats off to whomever sold the original concept. Definitely a better salesperson than your average monorail seller.
Its easy to sell the concept, esp when the buyer has only money but no brain
Or Hyper loop...😂
You do know where the sand for the "Palm Jumeirah" came from, right?
'the North Sea'. apparently those grains are better for sustaning 'Island' structure..
- said the dutch engineer to the man living in a desert.
Well they got the "N" and "O" in there from "North Haverbrook" and "Ogedenville". The plot thickens...
Now I have The Simpsons monorail song in my head.
I skipped this video many times before I finally klicked it for a lack of options. But, boy, I didn't know I was missing such comedy gold. This eacalates slowly but steadily. 😂
The climate impact from the Line's excavation and concrete work alone will be staggering. I did not realize Kashoggi was onto this before his demise. Thanks for the info.
To be fair, "sunlight and access to salt water" are pretty good amenities compared to a Mars colony.
The presence of air would also be comforting.
😂😂🤣🤣👍👍
and donuts are better eatin than human shit. What in the fuck kind of comparison is that? 🤡
"sunlight and access to salt water" = desalination plant? 🤔
The "Visitors"😅 Disney Land😅
"if the first builiding is in a questionable location, it makes sense for the one next to it to be a bit away from that location."
Swift-level satire unlocked. Brilliant line.
I'm still laughing at that line.
"Energy and water supplies will be 100% renewable"
Oh cool, they've figured out how to ignore thermodynamics.
I just found this channel, OMG, it is comedy gold💫 I have been watching various videos on mega projects recently and this is the best delivery by far. I like @AdamSomething too, but Patrick took it to a whole new level. Fabulous work!
The sarcasm with this is on another level.
What are you talking about? This is Dead Serious.
@@personzorz oops 😬
The ironic bit is Saudi sensors would let this slide even knowing he's mocking them.
Location is only one criterium, the other two escape me right now.
Perfect.
No idea what you are talking about.
It's impressive that someone could speak so clearly, for so long, with his tongue in his cheek the whole time.
.... and with minimal blinking... 👁️👁️
But he’s from Dublin ..it’s second nature 😂😂

This is the first video I'm ever watching of you, after searching for NEOM updates - I LOVE it. Love the dry sarcasm and wry humour - I laughed out loud.
Not only do the best videos make you laugh, they inspire the commenters to make you laugh. Thank you Patrick and everyone else.
OMG, PB just KILLING IT. He should do a nightly show. This is funnier than Comedy Central.
yep
no, it will make him boring. He needs time and topic.
Yep, you just need to be dry enough to catch all of his jabs.. He is literally only financial guy I still watch. Humor being one of the reasons..
Why tf do you want to ruin him? Nightly shows are terrible b/c they are nightly, the turnaround is too quick for quality stuff to have any chance of being produced.
It's the lack of forced studio audience reactions that make it work for me. He isn't getting interrupted every few seconds because the network has to tell you which bits are the funny ones.
Patrick just made a joke using an assassinated journalist then sold an ad spot for a software company called "Delete me" without batting an eye. Absolute Legend.
Notice how nobody, who promised to avenge Kashoggi, did anything for this? They had berated idiot Trump for years, and yet have done exactly nothing.
MBS is busy right now looking for an app called "Delete Patrick". It is really sad this was probably his last really positive, not in the least critical video.
🤣🤣🤣🤣 i laughed too hard at the train math. I mean who wouldn't luv to travel at 3x the speed of sound😅
Oh my god! This is hilarious!!!!🤣😂🤣😂🤣 First-time viewer and I subscribed not even halfway through. Well done!👍
It’s really insane how a CZcams video is more thought out than a project by an actual government
Musk managed to get California HSR cancelled just by proposing a totally flawed and unworkable idea
A government where a king is head of state and uses religion to dictate laws. So there’s that ….
They no government man ... They have nothing but oil? To sell ex ex ...
Well said!!
that because you weren't invited to the embassy...for some ferrors...
Dude, this is some championship professional-grade sarcasm, right here.
Well you convinced me, definitely a great idea. Can't wait to visit
When I first heard about this project, I thought it was a scam or a joke.
After seeing them put more than zero effort into building this, my faith in humanity is restored... never underestimate the incompetence of humans, especially rich ones.
No, they already start to build
@@LH1xx - Yes I know, I said that in my comment. Perhaps you could work on your comprehension.
I know rich can build everything,but only smart 🤓 rich can put everything right.😂

He knows nothing he's a paid bot. If you review the comment section replies, you'll find him in each and every comment disagreeing with the project@@warpeace8891
"Saudi Arabia hosting the Asian Winter Games" is the single best description of our current distipia.
It's spelled Dystopia.
Also, I would love to hear about how the Saudis managed to convince people to host Winter games (games that typically involve snow/ice or otherwise cold environments) in the middle of a scorching desert
@@dx-ek4vr
Their embassy staff are very persuasive.
@@dx-ek4vrBecause simply put, you guys keep ignoring the climate of Saudi Arabia. The “scorching heat” is in the middle and east part of Saudi. Not the Northern/Northern Mountain part where it does get really cold and it snows in there. There is where they will do the winter games.
@Salman-pq5bq hey bud I got a bridge to sell ya!!!
There are some parts which have snow.
OK, I've never seen this channel before; I'm definitely not a financial person. I clicked the video because I'm fascinated by how big of a fantasy this project is. Kinda a modern update of the "House of the Future" I saw at the '64 Worlds Fair, but gone horribly wrong. I was promised flying cars back then, and now I'm 70 and still waiting. However, it didn't take long for me to realize that this straight-laced typical CPA-type boring dude was, in reality, a totally deadpan comedian. Fantastic vid got me smiling all through. Thanks!
I had a lot more fun when was a twentys child living in the seventies than I do living as a seventies child living in the twenties
I LOVE your totally objective, factual, and positive review!
;-)
Patrick is low-key the funniest CZcamsr. Rap and rapping is the best gag ever
I wish he'd concentrate on the rap and not get distracted by this stuff on finances and very positive reviews of the Great Idea of the Saudi Crown Prince
Gag, what're you talking about, this is a rap channel
He’s the norm Macdonald of investment
It is delivered in such a way that I cant stop laughing
Gang Gang!
I lost it when he was describing how the trains would have to run in order to meet their promise of traveling the whole city in 20 min. Pure comedy gold! 😂😂😂
They could just run a whole heap of separate lines you could just catch a train to the nearest major station take the lift to whatever train line you need to go to to get to where you need to go and then catch that train, they could have a maglev vacuum train for the longer runs, if they all stop at one end or the other they could just put some breake away glass or something for if there was a leak at the other end so any pods pushed out at the speed of sound by the inrushing air could shoot harmlessly off into the desert, it would save on having all the emergency hatches etc which would inevitably leak and require a lot of energy to continuously pump down the vacuum.
It is the most hilarious thing I watched in a while
"It would take 206 minutes, which is *a bit* more than 20" I lost it at that 🤣
"Getting on and off the hyperloop within that two second window is a young man's game. You have to be in the prime of life to be able to handle the G forces as it accelerates to Mach 3 and then slows to a full halt 412 times in a single 20-minute journey. It's not really for me either." 🤣🤣🤣
Extreme over-thinking 😅
Wonderful to finally see a video with a positive take, much deserved by this magnificent project
This was a masterclass on sideswiping, I absolutely loved it
Describing how the train would work had me in tears 😂
What was it again. Twice the speed of light. 2 seconds to jump on and off the train.
@@ofusowre7620 no, a mere three times the speed of sound
It's a bit silly; express stations are a thing. But the whole project is so ridiculous I'm fine with mocking it.
@@benoithudson7235 express stations may be a thing but physics might object to the 20 minute claim from start to finish.
I love the idea.... This is a acid induced hallucination rite?
Or can I actually get laid to say this can be built?
I have an awesome bridge for sale that'll work very good for this place.
Best advertisement video ever! After watching, I immediately cancelled my Space X Rocketship Mars booking and bought a flat at NEOM!
Me too😂
That would make Elmo sad but can you consider buying a weekend house on mars for exiting adventures?
We could be neighbors?
I'm going one better and will be living full time in the metaverse version of Neom thanks to my Neuralink implant. my body will be somewhere cheap, being looked after by lackeys
I’m waiting for Neom to be built on Mars out of repurposed Starship rockets.
lol !!! Loves every second of it. Your narration skills are top notch. Thank you for such an amazingly entertaining video.
Absolutely fantastic! Watching this was pure joy. I've not laughed that much in forever. Witty, sarcastic, just briliant!
"Getting on and off the hyper loop is a young man's game." This man is freaking hilarious.
That one KILLED ME!!!
I cried...😂😂😂
@@camillaholst7321 RAAAHAHAHA!
Rather than constant acceleration and deceleration, maybe you'll be fired from the train like a Helldiver:

The train math is one of the funniest things on the Internet 😂
It would work if they pivot into VR.
Too funny 😂, his funniest vid for a while
Yep I started laughing at that point. They never said that the 30 min journey would be a train ride from hell.
I almost drowned while drinking beer
I literally started crying. Best laugh I've had in a long while!
Brilliant video, just awesome, best straight-man-to-straight-man-wraped into one being ever! Just discovered this, subscribed right fast!
I laughed at this a good 20 after the video was over. And i mean fully on, stomach hurting, uncontrollable, real belly laughter.
I'm sure that this is the funniest video on CZcams.
I like how you offended Saudi Arabia's royalty and then did an ad for "Delete Me."
Makes this a 'high risk' video for him . . .
He had me on the bitcoin gangsta rapper aspiration.😂😂😂
The train speed explanation is just pure comedy gold!
I almost died laughing! 😂😂😂
@@jimmyjames7809 I wasn't far off... Lost my breath for a moment!
Too be fair, if they ran 8 trains simultaneously, they could run 4 each way and stagger the stops so each train stopped every 4 stops. Or, they could have 2 express lines that only stop a handful of times on the route and then slower trains that handle transport between stops.
@@EcnalKcingood point, then they only have to hit Mach 1
I just love your style, your dry sarcasm. Pity the fool who decides to debate you; you'd slay them with your sharp tongue.
I have to admit - I've watched this video 4 times. It's just too good.
Amen.

Doesn't anyone notice that this Neom is designed to be a prison? Trying to escape this dystopian nightmare will require you to walk miles through the most heated desert imaginable
So dystopic
I guess that's the most obvious part of it. But don't worry. You can escape via Matr..., uh, I mean, Meta. And there's another escape they actually would ❤ you to take. It's forced on ppl on EVERY SINGLE movie and EVERY SINGLE series.
Eh, a camel can travel 25 miles per day. So only 2 days either way from the center of the city.

To accelerate to 3 times the speed of sound in 1 second then decelerate to 0 in 1 second requires +95.6G for 1 second followed by -95.6G for 1 second (times 412 if one wished to travel from one end to the other).
A young man’s game indeed
I’d much rather get caught in the door

There are many things that science cannot explain in this video, but by far the most unexplainable is how Patrick managed the entire video without breaking in histerical laughter.
A ton of practice and multiple takes, no doubt. The result is definitely worth it!
Years of practice!!!

In 1999 I met a former RAF officer who was working at a British Aerospace maintenance facility in Saudi Arabia. He held their military pilots in high regard, but his employees at the facility were another matter. As he put it “Everyone there wants to be a manager. And when you become a manager, what does that mean? You sit in your office most of the day and drink tea with your friends”.
C'est une façon très britannique de dire que ces gens sont des crétins paresseux.
To be fair, that is a good incentive for employees to rise to management
Do you think managers in the US do all the work?! 😂😂

What a difference education for all and a competitive market would do.
