That Sinking Feeling in Dubai

I'm sure there is a great explanation for why we find it amusing when something bad happens to people that have a lot more money than we do.
And it is even more amusing when you add the fact that they should have seen it coming.
Dubai has been building a lot of luxury "Islands" and selling them for millions to well heeled people all over the world.
One of their gimmicks was forming them into shapes of countries.
The problem from the start is that they are mainly made of sand.
I wondered from the start what they would do about settling and erosion.
I guess the answer is: "Not Enough".
