Re: Pakistan to build the World's tallest building in Karachi
the exact same thing it has to do with the building. private commercial venture versus public service expenditure. for all I care they can build theme parks on the beach, revolving restaurants etc.
Fact is that niether you nor I have seen the financials. how the private funding is coming about, how govt is supporting it (majority tax subsidies I would think) and what the ROI is for the developers. No one in his right mind would want to build a building that is a losing proposition. The analysts assumptions could be wrong but they ahve to do due diligence to calculate how they are making money.
The only way they are making money is if the spaces are sold/leased. which means they are being taken by businesses, which means the businesses are buying and selling goods and services, which means people must work to produce and transport the goods, deliver the services etc. they would need supplies to make the business work from other businesses etc etc.
so while a certain class may be targeted, the impact would be seen across all classes, unless you expect millionaires to be mopping floors, driving delivery vehicles, working as security, receptionists, waiters, construction workers, electricians, plumbers etc.
Ok fraudz...my bad....I just read it is private investment...:D but ya if it was sponsored by government then it would have really bothered me...
moin ul atiq... karachi is not bad choice. And stop building in karachi won't solve anything. Government needs to crack down on MQM jusk like on mullah/maddrassa in other parts of the country. And people of karachi should stop voting for MQM.

^ I dont think I have used any ethnic slurs in my posting.. I dont do that. Aap khama-khah naraz ho rahey ho janaab. I have seen from your posting that u are also opposed to MQM-tactics and Altaf- so your getting upset comes as a shocking surprise to me.. Why anyone like you from Punjab be upset?
using the term "bhaiiya" for karachi people, is just as repulsive as using the term "chopaye" for Punjabis.
Re: Pakistan to build one of the World's tallest building in Karachi
maybe not exactly apples to apples here in terms of vulgarity and usage but it still is not a proper word to use when referring to people. It is still repulsive.
Re: Pakistan to build one of the World's tallest building in Karachi
Karachi is a bad choice given the violent state its slides in so easily- look at the recent turn of events. Like it or not, Karachi is a hell-hole of Altaf bhaiyya and his pals who kill anyone they want at their discretion.. if we would were to construct the tallest building in Karachi with multinationals in it, MQM goons will go and do bhatta-wasooli from the foreigners. What will it do to the image of Pakistan. The tallest building needs to be in Punjab cuz Punjab is peaceful, anything closer to the army is safer than amongst Karachi's violent bhaiyyas
Dude, any area of Pakistan is a bad choice no matter how peaceful it is because the country as a whole suffers from political unrest, lack of basic amenities and a wide rich-poor gap. And generally a private project is not meant for the benefit of the local people, it is only meant for the benefit of the businesspeople. To add to the minus column, the private-govt partnership has been totally screwed up due to mismanagement.

With all due respect to their origins, they came from India and thats wat they call people in India affecionately- I am unable to figure out whats wrong in the usage when you have no bad intentions.. why and when the term became derrogatory is hard to understand.

Pakistan is a better choice than India my brother.. in India 50% of the population sleeps on the streets.. Political unrest is a temporary thing. I am sure rich-poor divice is not that of a concern in a country like Pakistan where everyone makes atleast something.. not like India :p

so lets keep it simple, when in doubt, dont use. And being informed that it is considered rude, shoudl create doubt in your mind about using it or not :)

Don't worry about what people in India do, worry about what we are telling you.

So you mean that since we are better than India, we shouldn't try to improve? Dude, India has a huge population and a rich-poor gap is quite obvious; in fact, I think India is doing quite good considering its population (we're talking about 1 billion people, or more than 1/7 of the world). Nonetheless, both India and Pakistan are still third-world countries. And by the way no one is talking about India here, so cut that out please. Thank you.
