Low taxes: You basically forgo your political rights as an immigrant in exchange of this (No taxation without representation )
Stability: The price you pay for authoritarianism you get in temporary and shallow stability.
I know that Dubai/UAE may seem like a RW libertarian utopia from the outside but they still are very mean to foreigners esp poor ones and there are still very generous benefits and preferential perks for natives that immigrants can't even cross their mind to ask out of fear of retribution.
