Hang on Guys. In all fairness to people who read this and dont live here. Facts:
10 min and you are at World Trade Center. So unless your kids are in a Abu Dhabi school, it wont take 1.30 hours. Loads of kids living same place, sound like school bus arangement to me. No more driving to schools. Whats the wife gonna do now?
Its not a huge plunge in living standard. Maybe for some who were lucky to live on the beach, and not in Satwa. For guys stuck in flats on S. Z. Road it will be better. Or flamingo villas for that matter.
It close to Arabian Ranches, Gazelles. Attractive properties that have gone 50% up in value in a year. Must be more or less ok then!
City of Arabia, Dubai Land and what not, is coming up out there.
10 min and you can shop in Union Coop at Vegetable Market.
So if you are joining from end of next year, you will be getting a brand new villa. Is that so bad?
Flybystring has a gift of tying accomodation, command, DEC traffic and much more in one big frustration. That his opinion. This was mine. The truth is in the eye of the beholder, as they say.
So what if 14 people have left over the last 2 months. Thats just 0.5% a month. That is to be expected it times where all those airlines someone mentioned are recruiting.
Pointy end forward, dirty side down.
