Let it sink, make it an underwater tourist attraction. Modern day Atlantis theme park. Pressurize select spaces, build glass tube walkways, rent diving gear and plant fake treasure that can be exchanged for gifts.

- monsieurbanana 3y agoProbably? There's some people taking the comment seriously and that kinda worries me
- hypertele-Xii 3y agoIsn't every amusement park in the world built upon land on which people used to live? They don't build them out in the desert, do they? Well maybe Las Vegas.
- ExoticPearTree 3y agoSeems like you played too much Bioshock :)
- jagaerglad 3y agoWe are talking about a city that a quarter million people call home, not an amusement park that needs to adapt to changing conditions
- rippercushions 3y agoOnly around 50,000 of them live in the old bit we think of us as Venice, and the number is dropping steadily. The rest live on the mainland (Mestre).
- shjake 3y agoThe islands themselves (and not the mainland where an overwhelming majority live) are closer to an amusement park than a real city
- hypertele-Xii 3y agoThe world's largest amusement park, Disney's Magic Kingdom, sees on average roughly 15 million people visit each year. A "quarter of a million", or 250_000, doesn't sound so many anymore. The park has a maximum capacity of 90_000 guests at once. A massive undertaking for sure, but not impossible. Obviously, the residents and owners of Venice would be compensated and receive shares, enough to live elsewhere and well, or this wouldn't work. And yes, I'm not entirely serious with this idea.
