Waterfront property is too expensive so building floating land is much less expensive and far less damaging to the environment.

On some other the points brought up waste is not!! It is a resource, not a problem. Most can be made into fuels, food or other things especially once over 30 people size units as little more work to handle a lot than a little.

50% of plastics can be simply distilled into diesel, gasoline, propane, NG for instance. The rest can be made into many things including building materials, etc.

Tsunumi’s are a danger to land, not floating units unless attached to land and even then far more safe to those onboard. Same with floods, hurricanes, etc.

I want to start an Eco village but restristions on building size, etc means about the only way to be really innovative is do it on water.

I’m looking to do a 10 unit showpiece to show how it’s far less costly to do self contained small communitites that make more than needed energy, fuels, etc and housing that costs little to build, run compared to present US lifestyles.

To start I’m building a 34′ trimaran that with just a 1kw solar array costly just $1k, PV is very cheap now if well shopped, can supply all my needs for even A/C needed here in Fla.
