Ah shit looks like totally destroying your local environment is expensive in the long run.
It’s a bit ridiculous that their source is “the word on the street” …. what a nice journalism.
Edit: Haha they removed that part already
So not really sinking. Staying the same while the water comes up? Not as catchy I suppose
That’s all Imu‘s fault!
Moving their influence closer to the south, the “sinking” is a convenient excuse.
> $30B Plan To Relocate 11M Residents To New Capital
What beautiful piece of ~~shit~~ journalism. Really accurate as the government indeed want to move all Jakartans to the new capital /s
Relocating 11M for $2700 per capita seems unlikely.
Will end up being 33B and lots of people will get super rich
What if we just take Jakarta and push it somewhere else.
Houston’s future.
I was there a few months ago while travelling through. Walking through the streets of Jakarta you could see quite large holes under the roads that looked into massive caverns the roads were essentially floating over. It was terrifying
Sim city in real life
What is Jakarta sinking about?
Or youknow, build canals and dykes. Im sure there are plenty of dutch engineers who can do this we did this with practically an entire countrie thats 2/3rds below sea level
Jakarta actually exists?!
How does this work in terms of land/property ownership in Jak to new location?
Nice way of saying sea levels are rising
New capital? Brampton.
It’s not sinking. Climate change is causing sea level rise.
Saying it’s sinking implies the cause is completely independent of human caused climate change.
Ok, first thing first,
Yes, they made a new capital.
No, they are not abandoning Jakarta.
The new capital will be limited to 2 million resident, primarily for government employee and support businesses.
Jakarta will remain as economic center with most of the resident remaining there.
Some explain it with, Jakarta will be the New York and new-capital will be Washington.
Largest population Muslim country in Southeast Asia
Or… they can just relocate yo’ mama!
“We should take Jakarta, and PUSH it somewhere else!”
Jakarta’s sinkin’ man and I don’t wanna swim
Only $30b to move 11m people and we sent how much to ukraine?
Yeah they’re putting it in Borneo too, one of the last homes of the orangutan
new capitals are tough when all the desired jobs, schools and hospitals are within the city.
look at seoul, cairo and their respective government attempts to move governmental agencies away from the main capital to secondary places. doesn’t really work out without addressing the first reasons why people endure being cramped into the capital
30 billion dollars, 11 million residents
The UK Government pay 30 Billion for half a mile of unfinished railway, the visitor centre sign at Hinckley C and half a dozen non regulatory PPE masks which they are forced to burn.
But won’t that many people cause the new location to sink?
I hear Ben Shapiro is eager to get into the coastal real estate property flipping business with his associate Arthur Curry, sell all the houses to him.
