CHILLIN Posted April 6, 2019 Report Share Posted April 6, 2019 I have talked about this before - that is as far as it went. I was saying that the ancient Chinampa system, growing something like flowers, could easily be constructed using concrete covered EPS foam as the base. I felt this would be a tremendous tourist attraction, especially if the routes were travelled in safe, rustic style vessels or canoes poling and sing songs for the deluxe experience. Now the United Nations is gathering all these floating city concepts and technologies. Certainly would be cleaner waste water compared to near the Lake communities. https://www.washingtonpost.com/amphtml/science/2019/04/05/seas-rise-un-explores-bold-plan-floating-cities/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AngusMactavish Posted April 6, 2019 Report Share Posted April 6, 2019 Sure, live among the other things that float. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CHILLIN Posted April 6, 2019 Author Report Share Posted April 6, 2019 Free fertilizer, I forgot about that benefit. Notice I said flowers to start. No produce until it is vigorously checked. No one is going to give you fresh flowers Angus. Hey, maybe a cannabis grow license! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mudgirl Posted April 6, 2019 Report Share Posted April 6, 2019 There was a great novel I read years ago which featured a floating city. The book is called Snowcrash. I can't remember who the author was, but it was highly entertaining. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HAHAHA Yes, I can tell from your 3-10 word posts that you don't have a long attention span 🙂 At least you don't go on ad nauseaum for half a page, like some do.
