I have always been of the opinion that the metro was doomed to fail from the outset.

I mean, did they really think the first class carriages would be full of expats - please they need to get a grip on the reality.

PJ villas were never sold for 700k even in 2002.

I bought two 1 bed shoreline appartments sea facing in May 2002 for 725k each.

Back then 4 bed villa's on the fronds started at around 1.6 million depending on spec

Its the new trade center of the world. As simple as that. This part. Should I inform London, New York, Singapore, Zurich, Hong Kong and Sydney? They might want to know.

yea K dog sorry to hear bout your job - hope it all sorts out for you

I know in Marina Walk you need permission from Emaar i guess it would be the same for The Walk which would be Dubai Properties or Salwan the Estate Manager.

I dont see what difference it will make apart from stopping the flood of expats leaving immediately rather than a few months later.

Those that have lost jobs etc in all probability wont find re-employment, and certainly wont have enough funds to stay on without jobs.

I was refering to the majority not the minority

Good Post Kdog, it highlights the wider issue and problems of extending the visa period.

Interesting. If they don't update it but landlords can still use it to justify a renewal increase then there is a problem. My 'rental index' is obtained by looking through the rentals on Dubizzle. I'd say rentals in my area have dropped 30-40% since the peak. and....... something is only worth what...

Interesting posts - thanks kdog

our task is to moderate and............. if in our opinion it is just cut and pastes from local papers then WE may decide to moderate and REMOVE it. Like sage says we can all read the articles in the papers. This is a discussion forum and just posting newspapers links is not discussion. In fact all ...
