Are estates real?

That was the question, but it was not about housing. I was confronted with: 

Now we can make a fuss about Clara Amaral, and that she is from Porto Portugal and legally works in education, but there is every consideration that she (the profile) is not real. The image seemingly comes from MintPress News an extreme far left corner of the United States, lets call it ‘the idiotic’ lot (as expressions go and there apparently focal setting is the covering political, economic, foreign affairs and environmental issues. So we have two lose screws and LinkedIn (who is seemingly always happy to get any kind of traffic)

Well, it is misinformation. So here is the real deal. We see (at https://economymiddleeast.com/news/dubais-real-estate-surges-31-percent-to-68-6-billion-in-q1-2026-transactions-on-robust-momentum-and-confidence/) that the Middle East Economy gives us ‘Dubai’s real estate surges 31 percent to $68.6 billion in Q1 2026 on robust momentum and confidence’, it comes with the added “Dubai’s real estate market posted notable results in the first quarter of 2026, totaling AED252 billion ($68.6 billion) in transactions—a 31 percent year-on-year jump in value and 6 percent increase in volume—signaling ongoing momentum and robust investor trust.

This outcome highlights the market’s durability amid regional shifts, fueled by proactive leadership strategies. Dubai’s even-handed policies keep bolstering stability and confidence in various economic areas, aligned with Dubai Economic Agenda D33 objectives and Dubai Real Estate Strategy 2033.” Now, we all need to relax. I get that some will state that my one (there are several) article is set in opposition of the idiotic left of America view and you might be right, but fortunately others had me covered there (Times of India is blacklisted).

We are given (at https://gulfbusiness.com/en/2026/real-estate/dubai-real-estate-market-decoupling-war-analysis/)  ‘The Great Decoupling: How Dubai’s property market survived its first month of war’ where we see “This was the first full month of trading under the geopolitical shadow of the Iran conflict, and the surface-level numbers suggest a market losing its footing. Total transaction value cooled to Dhs53.4bn, a sharp 29.2 per cent drop from February and a 12.6 per cent slide year-on-year. But for those who look past the headlines, the data reveals a far more resilient, albeit “split”, reality. This wasn’t the story of a market breaking; it was the story of one being stress-tested in real time.” With the additional “While week three saw a dip to Dhs8.49bn, this coincided with Eid Al Fitr holiday, a poor metric for panic. By week four, off-plan activity had already bounced back to Dhs6.74bn, its strongest weekly showing of the month. Furthermore, the trophy buyers never left the building. March saw a single off-plan apartment deal at Aman Residences reach a staggering Dhs422m. Meanwhile, high-value trades continued in Palm Jumeirah and Bluewaters. Regardless of the broader noise, ultra-high-net-worth appetite for Dubai’s crown jewel assets remains intact.” And whilst we are also given “Investors are no longer taking the safe-haven premium for granted, but they aren’t ready to abandon it either. For now, the market is in a sophisticated wait-and-see mode, proving that while it can be bent by regional shocks, it is remarkably hard to break.” As I see it, some of the Crypto pussies ran for the airport, their sorted life awoken by real events, as such they proclaim to sit out the events, but at the sound of the first firecracker they ran for their mummies. And the media was exploiting the ‘run for your life’ as it few their digital dollars. 

I created some IP in 2024 (it might have been 2023), I illuminated it in ‘Saturation’ which I wrote on January 26th 2024 (at https://lawlordtobe.com/2025/01/26/saturation/). I opted for the “At that time Real estate was “I speculated was “an additional stage that would bring more than Dh680 million.” This is not a massive growth, this would be the impact if my solution brought a mere 1% to that table.” As such if it brought me 10% of that 1% added value of 680 million to that table (I am ever the optimist) it would be a massive gain (for them too) and I was conservative that it would only add 1%, but this IP would have been global and seeing that this was overlooked in LA, SF, New York, Toronto, Amsterdam and a few other places it will add a nice penny to the dollars being made here. So I did look into the setting almost going back 3 years. As such the events are a mere blip on the radar, not a crash as some (Clara Amaral) predict, with assistance of the idiotic left. But they are merely in it for the digital dollars as I am seemingly speculating.

The real deal is that there are parties who thought that they would gain wealth whilst sleeping and that is never the case. The UAE will come out stronger as they rightfully proclaim. And it was not one article, I wrote several over the term of 2024 and 2025, as such there was a flat base of sturdy exemption. These war reporters need to take a page out of their so called need to ‘not panic’. I reckon that Doug Adams had the right view on this, for the illiterate, who wrote Hitchhikers guide to the galaxy. 

So is it a he said, she said story? No, I have data going back years, but the girly girls (like Crypto boys) who are panicking have never seen real hazers and some are not fictional. Consider the basic setting that 2,012 drones were fired on the UAE, less than 5% made it and some did as much as 750 dirham damage. How safe is the UAE and how unlucky does obi need to get for one to hit your property? Las Vegas is living on much riskier odds than that. 

I feel that my case has been made, misinformation bad, me good. So you all have a great day today. It’s almost time to find lunch this Sunday. Perhaps I’ll have a sundae this Sunday.

Recalling the idea

I was in a stage yesterday when I got a little too much ‘creativity’, as such two idea’s revisited me. The first was a good one, the use of AR (Augmented Reality) in malls. I wanted to add more functionality in the new IP and in part I succeeded. That idea was warped in a second setting that I also described in a previous article. The application towards real estate was achieved as I looked in the application towards Dubai, I realized that a quote in the Middle East Economy “Dubai’s residential sector saw 32 percent sales growth in 2024, reaching $99.9 billion, driven by investor interest” this implies that the 100% gives us 312 billion, now as I see it, the IP could bring at a mere 2% an added 6 billion. I use conservative numbers and this is merely Dubai. I believe that due to segmentation of the housing market the IP could be a lot more powerful. Taking in consideration places like New York, London, Stockholm, Paris, Riyadh and a few other places, the revenue becomes very interesting. This part I had figured out already. The setting had novel parts and as it could work in a 24:7 setting the larger stage is the missing of idle time and when people are drawn to a place or location.

I was considering the addition. The setting of an information stand that is in ‘always on mode’ and when people can use the setting because of the setting of any particular mall, the provider merely needs to have a stall, or an arrangement, and the screen will promote in an interactive way the availability of property. And as the mobile app looks at where you are, this could work in any place. A stall is not a requirement, merely an available screen. A mere 2% represents billions in Dubai. Likely less in other places but it will still an impressive amount and in New York City recorded over $28 billion in investment sales in 2024, this implies an optional 560 million in revenue. So the setting is worth exploring. With two screens you can cover residential and business locations in several ways. Still, this is a mere application, I was looking for innovation in my application and we can add information, but that is as I see it mere iteration. The application off the Lightbox advertisement, which is merely a media box is a setting we can see in simple ways. The innovation could be seen by setting this ad in numerous ways of advertising, but that in itself is not innovative enough. Adding isn’t enough and there is a chance that it lessens the impact. So where is the innovation? As I see it, at present I got that IP nearly maximized, but I do think more can be done. In the other IP, the setting of smart ware, the IP has enough in Malls, but there is a setting to add smart collection to the app and if we can add locations (like different malls we visit) we get additional settings and that could add a new notches on the revenue streams. But that setting isn’t enough. 

As I saw one side, I also saw the side of a darker collection/distribution setting. One that does not get ‘governmental’ approval. But the mind does no distinguish that, the mind merely wants to expand the IP it created and expand on it. Perhaps it is not a good idea, perhaps it is. In a world where they are setting on greed and whilst these captains of industry all hide behind their AI and leave revenue on the ground, I found billions in revenue, but how to collect on this? The problem is that most Americans either steal or want all of the revenue. I do like to get a nice settlement fee. As such I have to hope for the eager person that collects on my ideas will leave me a nice sum. Half a dozen IP, I reckon one will leave me with a nice retirement sum and if that fails the showing of my IP in this blog will leave me with something.

Still that is a worry for later. For now I merely want to improve on what my mind did create. Two of the IP’s are as ready as they can be. I believe that the AR stage could some more improvement, but that also requires the AR servers to be deployed. I can only see the creation improve as it is set to some degree of deployment. The AR setting is clear, I wrote about it several times. But beyond that there is little I see, I saw the application for shops, the setting for Bookshops, jewelry and to some degree fashion and the application of branding. From there we can see the interaction with the Real Estate app (in the original setting) and the application of smartwear. With the AR servers, any shop that has multiple locations could directly be applied to all servers and optionally in several national settings. As such there are the a few more impediments and the stronger setting comes out over larger shops. After all the US has 113,000 malls. So when you add the EU and the Arabic nations, it becomes a nice revenue settings. That gave gave me the idea to set the Japanese idea of Eki Stamps. That idea could be set to a larger stage in a larger book with social media and online settings. So what happens when you have a book and every mall and theme park you enter will give you additional pages and whenever you are near of in a ride the stamp will get automatically added, so in the end you will get a more and more robust and impressive collection? That was the setting that was brooding in my mind when I looked at the setting of Ferrari world and WaterWorld (both in Abu Dhabi) and over time museums and other places will add to this improving the value and acceptance of the idea and that gives a rather nice setting. And when one theme park has it, the others will all follow that is the simplicity of the idea I had. So tell me now, how innovative have these so called captains of industry been?

A setting that adds an entire cog of technology and innovation all by itself (with a little cerebral assistance from yours truly). 

As such I am still looking to add to the IP my mind created and create new gaming IP. I feel fine. I was able to outdo Sergei Brin, Larry Page, Jeff Bezos, Satya Nadella, Andy Jassy and a few others. Too bad I am not that rich (adding the delusional ‘yet’ to this). 

But the journey of creating the IP was a great ride by itself. Oh, I just remember the stage I had created for Adobe. I should give that a few more thoughts. It started with a weird dream, but the dream is still accessible and it is high time that I make the Microsoft Wannabe’s squeal. Perhaps an idea for tomorrow.

Have a nice Sunday. Vancouver will follow us in 13 hours.
