Ah yeah that’s true. “Sometimes, people look down on others when they get a lot of money” or “Sometimes, people look down on others after they make a lot of money.”

Yeah I imagine. And it’s sometimes easy to forget that even near popular places people are trying to live normal lives. Hey, a few pointers. Sometimes if you want to say, “It’s stated that…” you can say, “They say that…” , which sounds more natural.

It’s stated that everyday approximately buses and vans full of tourists come there to indulge Hollywood spirit. The fact is not to please the local community, which is highly concerned with safety and infrastructure deterioration issues, claiming that hillside roads were not designed for so many cars and pedestrians.

Perfect, just check spelling on “which”. Great example! I had no idea you could hike over there

Great example! Here’s a quick edit: “Burj Khalifa, the world’s tallest building, looks down on the Dubai fountain show areas, many restaurants, and shopping malls.”

This is good, in fact I was trying to think of an example where you’d use a different preposition besides “on” and I didn’t think there was one. However, you are correct that “into” also works. You can say “looks down into the forest” or even “looks down into the valley/canyon/etc”.

It has around 20 km and almost 300 curves and if you pull over anywhere, the road looks down into the forest.
