Comment on Seasteading: Cities on the oceanparent

Comments

Importing isn't the problem, exporting is. A seastead will necessarily pay a steep premium on imported goods, even basic ones.

The cost of shipping is mitigated by goods going both ways. When you are shipping to a zero-export entity such as a seastead, the receiving entity is expected to bear the cost of the return trip with empty holds.
