      Look at what happened in Saudi’s Neom.

      They kicked a bunch of locals off the property, diverted a bunch of local waterways, dropped millions of tons of concrete onto a foundation, and then ran out of money, gave up, and walked away.

      You got all horror of industrial terraforming but none of the promised payout.
