Dubaidiary: virtual privacy

A city where you see ads not only for villas and appartments but also for bed spaces. And bed spaces are what most people settle down for. The construction boom non-withstanding, there is a great skewness in the demand supply of affordable living in Dubai.

The rents are so damn costly, most people cant afford it. And how do you find privacy when you are sharing a 400sqft. hall with 2 other people. You should have a look at such a place and you will find 3 otherwise bright talkative people glued to their laptops with headphones over their ears. Communication breaks and you create an invisible space around you. Kind of uncomfortable but i guess people get used to it.
