Does anyone else consider these massive corporate arcologies short sighted? I mean, they're literally walling themselves off from the community under gigantic glass domes, an absurd design given the peninsula's mild Mediterranean climate.
Couldn't they consider something more, I don't know, _permeable_?
Though I have to admit the cyberpunk in me relishes the day we have smooth, windowless Googlecars shuttling 'plexmonks through automated checkpoints guarded by robotic Brinhounds.

- icebraining 11y agoAs someone who lives in a Mediterranean climate, I certainly wouldn't have minded a dome over the college campus I attended. There's nothing fun about having to walk under intense rain between buildings, whose floors get all muddy if you have any kind of walkable grass. And I don't see what it has to do with their connection to the community; after all, people don't exactly come flying in. Whether the campus will have outside visitors will have more to do with their policies (free or restricted entry, presence of public amenities, etc) than with the dome, in my opinion.
