Meta: For a website discussing startups, this discussion seems quite pessimistic to me. I am not aware of all the technical difficulties, I am not certain it will be the most fun project in the world, but I wouldn't give it the disparaging remarks I see here. I am certain they'll have difficulties with the local government and who knows if it will be successful, but I am in favor of people trying strange new things. Even if it is a "completely unrealistic ... middle school project" or a "poorly thought out idea", the worst that could happen is that the people trying to put this together will learn a lot, and hopefully use that experience to try something awesome later. Considering what they are trying to put together, they clearly think this is awesome, and in that light I'd say it's worth the risk of doing. <further muttering about "armchair entrepreneurs" and such would go here, but toned down to avoid rant-type material> Disclaimer: I'm from near Detroit. Not sure how much that changes my opinion on this, though.
