  • That might work if the streets are raised 1 story and the streets become the tidal barrier. This is how the seattle waterfrony was built in some areas.

    Imo though I think it makes sense in the long term to just consider the entire area a tidal or submerged area and build/modify accordingly on stilts/pilings and then backfill around just the stilts/pilings.

    Roads are too flat and won’t be navigable when partly submerged. Imo thats why it makes sense to build out canals that can be navigated at low tide. The sidewalks can then serve quadruple duty as sidewalk, utility areas, mud barrier, and dock.



  • The problem with debt is you need some material thing to offset it. If you take out a loan for a car your debt is offset by the car. There’s no good measure of the value of the economy to the avg person.

    The GDP is just a measure of “work done” its not a measure of the actual “car” etc we’re paying for. The problem is the government and corporate america are slowly firing all the people that create real, valuable products and replacing it with slop, police state bullshit and outright fraud.

    So instead of getting houses, groceries and gas etc for this debt we’re getting “financial products”, “ai”, price fixing, corporate collusion, private prisons and other things that kind of inflate corporate value while average people see no real world returns on the spending
