Indonesia's new capital, Nusantara, in danger of becoming a 'ghost city'

I'm low-key worried about this whole Nusantara thing . I get that funding can be a bummer, but what really gets me is the environmental impact . Clearing mangroves left and right isn't exactly sustainable or eco-friendly, you know? And those small traders who are getting hurt because of the project's delays... it's just not cool . I mean, I've seen Nusantara videos and it does look fancy, but at what cost ? If this is gonna become some luxury tourist spot, that's great for the economy, but don't forget about the local communities who are being left in the dust . Shouldn't we be prioritizing them over some 'ghost city' hype?

I'm so worried about this place , Nusantara is like a dream that's slowly losing its magic . The thought of it becoming a ghost town because of funding and environmental issues is just heartbreaking . It's not just the money that's the problem, it's also how the government is ignoring the impact on local communities and the environment .

I mean, I get that infrastructure projects can be complex and have setbacks, but this one feels so rushed and prioritizing progress over people's lives . The fact that small traders are struggling to survive because of the project's slowdown is just devastating . And Arman's story about the promised clean water never materializing? Unbelievable .

It's also interesting how officials keep saying funding is in place, but analysts think otherwise . I guess we'll just have to wait and see if Nusantara becomes the "Singapore of Indonesia" or a symbol of failed ambition . One thing's for sure, though - it needs more transparency and accountability from the government .
