- seanmcdirmid 3y agoSo build floating cities? I think Tokyo or Osaka had that idea, they might actually make it a reality.
- harryVic 3y agoBuilding floating cities would be expensive. One of Florida's biggest attraction is cheap housing.
- nathansherburn 3y agoI wonder if it's cheap because of said future flooding?
