Wow. Quite a creative design.

On a much smaller scale, I wonder if you could entice people to LIVE on a Pier for much
cheaper than it would cost to live vertically on a magnificent Shipyards high rise condo?
That way, you still have land space for a vertical building in the future AND you have a long PARK PIER
on top of where people live and retail space.

And what some former Komrades have built in third world conditions.

This thing puts the Ft. Lauderdale Flea Market to Shame! ;)
