messageOk, you have no details what so ever here. Your proposal lacks even the barest of forethought and planning. Are you seriously collecting money? I sure hope you have a plan to refund everyone, so you don’t get sued and charged with fraud. How is the temperature to be regulated and air exchanged? You think “sick building syndrome” is bad? Wait until it’s a whole city. What happens to the run off rain/snow? What happens to the smog gases from a million cars? You’d basically have to have a HVAC system for the whole covered area. The ongoing cost of running that would be in the billions, initial construction costs aside, which btw given that a stadium costs 1/2 a billion these days, you’ve estimated far far too low. Now lets balance all these costs against avoiding what? 3-4 weeks of really brutal winter? In an era of impending global warming? Is this even a problem we need to solve? I think I could go on finding problems with this idea all day. Of course I put about 10 seconds thought into it which is more than you obviously did. I think you should buy a hat and gloves, then move to Florida like all the other people waiting to die.

Justin Lowell-Bellew replied on Feb 16, 2008You might also follow suit, taking cues from the Merchandise Mart in their rainwater treatment, only adding a new twist; given the tremendous size of the structure and consequent precipitation accumulation, add hydroelectric generators in special conduits through which intentionally-designed precipitation-accumulators will be installed. Seriously, though, what about people who want to add stipulations to their membership? What if those contingencies conflict with other supporters’ conditions?
Thanks again for putting the site together — it’s a great start to solving this and other challenges ;-)
