Those 2-high zoning laws aren't new, are they?
Presumably the port would've architected its systems to work within all sorts of constraints, come they from physics, or business, or regulation. The fact that one of them can easily be relaxed is immaterial to their failure to account for it in the first place.
- smileysteve 5y agoPresumably, the regulation had reasoning. Likely unsightfulness. But also likely danger. Will the port's insurer cover damages when a 3 or 4 high stack falls?
- booleangate 5y agoUnsightliness maybe, but also California is no stranger to earthquakes. Stacking up to 6 high sounds like a deadly and expensive game of dominos.
- KptMarchewa 5y agoThey can be stacked higher on a container ship when full. And ships are subjected to what someone could think of as a "quake" - waves.
- eecc 5y agofor sure, but the harmonic characteristics of sea waves are rather different. But yeah, you do have a point.
