Why I would not like to live in Masdar city.

Will the answer of this is simple really so I will make it short and clear. Masdar city is one of many cities that will be build in AD so why should I choose to live in it over the other ones like asadeyat and al-lolo?. Al-lolo city will offer some nice malls, nice views, entertaining locations and also a touch of our tradition in all of these. For asadeyat it will be the city that when people enter it the first thing they will say is wow with its spectacular views and unbelievable building structures also it will contain some big and world wide known museums.

All of that takes us back to the main point again what does Masdar city offer to its buyers or renters that surpasses all what will asadeyat and al-lolo provide. I know its cool to have a green city with zero carbon footprint but really why would people wish to move around walking or by bicycle. I know that some readers may say its for the goal of one step farther to save the earth. That's fantastic but really a lot of studies concluded that people who live in places that they are uncomfortable with but still for some great goal will never fit in. The pleasure of accomplishing something is great but the pleasure of being home is greater(wow smooooooth). For that if Masdar city wishes to be a success (and I hope so) people who are supervising on it should try to improve the entertaining and the traditional sections in it.
