Sandslide victory

A construction source calls with an update on the magical collapsing villas on the "hillside" of Jebel Ali. Apparently they will be demolished, and bigger units built in their place. "Will that mean biggger cracks?" the source wonders.

Of more concern is the news that Dubai's only hill is now showing large cracks of its own. Should it collapse, it will be a sandslide straight through the verandah windows of Cell Block G.
