@coolboymew Does makes me wonder what's the price of a sailboat compared to a house…

@lanodan @coolboymew Forget the sailboat. Support the Seasteading Institute and we can have autonomous floating cities out on the ocean.

Ocean Builders in particular is creating a sea house that is cheaper than a terrestrial home.

@xianc78 @coolboymew Absolutely not.

Housing problems have nothing to do with being on land or on the sea, it all has to do with pure greed, which you're going to have with pretty much any kind of city.

And I'd just rather have a sailboat than a trailer.

@lanodan @coolboymew Zoning laws prevent you from building new houses, creating artificial monopolies. The ocean doesn't have zoning laws and there is more ocean than there is land on Earth so you have plenty of space to own your own place.

@xianc78 @coolboymew Corporations are stupidly good at creating artificial scarcity.

Just look at the internet and how many desperately want to drive scarcity through the roof.
Domain names should be basically gratis, there is no technical reason for them to have cost.
Actual Internet is ending up being premium shit because, let's face it, creating scarcity with staying on IPv4 is good for the business.

How come? People would hog them and scalp them otherwise and then they’d just get even more expensive
