FOR WHO? The Pay Pal owner and a bunch of rich, queer elites?? We can run but we can't hide.
BUT...How many problems can we spot?
FLOATING?? Chyeah. Until the first yuge wild sea storm. Those sea walls will be breached easily.
What about sewage, trash removal (people + things)? All self-contained? (UNTIL all systems -- man and machine -- break down or people decide they don't like the current system.)
Ok, lets assume the project actually gets built; The VERY first thing these kinds of fake libertarian crusaders must do is set up a perimeter of lethal warships. If not, expect plenty of pirates to raid their private little Utopia (where everyone does as they please, there are few rules and enforcement, everything runs itself, there are no are no "Supervisors" or "Boss" or "Crews." And apparently everyone is on the "Honor System.")
The artist's rendering also didn't include the heavily-armed high guard towers. If ANYTHING, this is a glorified Devils Island (Please see the excellent flick, 'Papillon')
Who doesn't see this Snowflake Island scheme winding up as THE Pedo-Island in ANY case? A REAL prison. AND Hell.
As to style points, it appears no different than that failed Muzzie array of sterile island-ettes built off of Saudi Arabia or Qatar.
One is better off living like Sonny Crockett on a houseboat, FREE to come and go as you please.
You are a "naysayer" because of lack of optimism and enthuse for ingenuity.
I would have LOVED this idea. About 50 years ago. Back when I dreamt of a domed Martian or Moon Colony. This just isn't feasible of plausible. Plus it's merely an excuse for the rich/elite to (as I suggest) use the facility for unscrupulous activities.
The reality of the problems of such a place are overwhelming.
Can you address what I described as potential problems?
