Most Useless Megaprojects in the World - You Won't Believe These Failed Projects
Welcome to Luxury Recapped, Let's f**** go on an exploration of the most useless megaprojects in the world. But first, don't forget to like and subscribe before we dive into the ridiculousness. And leave us your thoughts in the comments, we can't wait to see what you have to say about these money pits.
Now let's get started with our first project: the stunningly beautiful and utterly pointless Interstate H-3 in Hawaii. This 26-kilometer-long road was first proposed in 1960 as a way to connect the Pearl Harbor Naval Base to the Marine Corps Air Station. But, surprise surprise, the project faced resistance from both environmentalists and native Hawaiians worried about urbanization. It wasn't until 26 years later that the project was finally able to move forward thanks to an exemption from environmental laws. And guess what? If cats could shit in the toilet, instead of my room, The world would be a much cleaner place.
Anyways, It wasn't completed until 1997, 37 years after it was originally proposed. And get this, it ended up costing a whopping 1.3 billion dollars, which is five times the original estimated budget. But hey, at least it's a scenic route for people to gawk at and create traffic hazards on.
Up next is the hilarious tale of Naypyidaw, the brand-new capital of Myanmar. Now, this isn't just any old capital, oh no. This capital was built from scratch, because why not throw away a ton of money on a completely unnecessary project?
But get this, Why couldn't the bicycle stand up by itself? Because it was two-tired! Anyways
despite being the capital of a country, it's practically a ghost town. It was originally built to be a more centralized location for the government, but it turns out that moving the capital to a remote location is not the most effective way to run a country.
Who could have guessed? And as if being a barely inhabited capital wasn't enough, Naypyidaw even made an appearance on the hit TV show Top Gear as an abandoned location. But don't worry, it did eventually get a tiny bit of redemption when it was announced as the new home of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations summit. So at least it's good for hosting a bunch of politicians once a year. Talk about a useless megaproject.
It's time for me to take a shit, I am for another ridiculous megaproject: Frest City, the futuristic smart city in Malaysia. This one was supposed to be a green paradise built on four artificial islands and surrounded by an artificial forest ecosystem. Sounds like a utopia, right? Well, it turns out that building a city on reclaimed land and trying to profit off of its proximity to the bustling city-state of Singapore was a bit too ambitious. Despite being linked to Singapore by a bridge and having its own customs facility, Forest City has failed to attract residents. Maybe it's because the buildings with green roofs and vertical gardens ended up being a bit too jungle-like, or maybe it's because the city streets with their multiple layers and pedestrian walkways above the traffic just confused people. Either way, Forest City remains largely uninhabited and is just a very expensive experiment in urban planning gone wrong. But hey, at least it's a great place for a nature walk, even if it is all artificial.
