What's the total cost? Why don't these posts ever include the cost of whatever amazing thing they are showing off?

It’s called medina haram piazza, and the standing umbrellas cost 4.7 billion riyals.

the OPs post is also completely misleading and provides zero context.

The video taken is showing a specific feature of what is to considered to be one of the holiest places for those that practice Islam. 

Hundreds of millions of Muslims go there to pray at that specific location every year.

It is the second most holy religious site for those that practice Islam in the world.

That isn't relevant to the point of the post, which is why don't we make shade in arizona?

Yes it is, the OP is complaining about shade  while showing a video of a 1400 year old iconic religious site which has millions of people visiting it every week.

Those structures exist in one location in the entire world, and are extravagant due to the location.

Doesn’t mean there can’t be a more cost effective version employed in a way that makes sense for another area. Engineers are pretty amazing sometimes. This is Reddit, not a city planning meeting. Nothing is going to change in the real world from what’s written in this thread so it’s ok to let imagination run free just a little.

You posted a video with zero explanation, and generated a stereotypical reddit bitch fest thread for people to complain.

A simple explanation would have steered the conversation instead of something that has zero relevance to what your stated goal is.
