Why Saudi Arabia Is Building a Linear City

I know many of the states that are dependent on the petrodollar are trying to diversify their economies because they know the oil will eventually run out. I wonder if they truly realize that when the oil runs out the money will stop flowing because we constantly see very ambitious, almost crazy schemes that cost many billions of dollars. Also when one of these plans fails the same people just cook up a new plan. The Line is just the most recent example. They need more sustainable and modest plans but I do not think the decision-maker's ego will allow for that.
