Big storms can be weathered.

I'm wondering how the occupantsresidents will create enough wealth/value to fund the high-velocity (money, not speed) costs. Takes a lot to keep such a place afloat & moving to any degree worth living on.

Of late a comparable proposal has been floated for locating a ship just outside LA's or SF's international waters boundary so foreigners could work in the area without visas. The key problem is how they could generate enough money to warrant supporting it and attracting people to actually do it at such high infrastructure costs.

Weathering a storm is about survival. I am talking about the quality of life for those living at sea.

Check out this video of a cruise ship in heavy seas...do you think ANY of these passengers will take another cruise. YOUTUBE VIDEO LINK.

It would be a lot better to just bulldoze Oakland, CA and turn it into a tech-oriented Special Economic Zone, where anyone from around the world could come to work without immigration restrictions.

It would be a great 2-for-1. :)
