Buckminster Fuller: Blood simple or with an easier way to wipe out San Francisco?

2015-07-15-foursquare-2.jpg

Buckminster Fuller proposed establishing a floating tetrahedron in San Francisco Bay called Triton City.
It would have been assembled from modules, starting with a floating “neighborhood” of 5,000 residents, with an elementary school, a supermarket and a few specialty shops. Three to six neighborhoods would form a town, and three to seven towns would form a city. At each stage the corresponding infrastructure would be added: schools, civic facilities, government offices, and industry. A full-sized city might accommodate 100,000 people in a single building. He envisioned an even larger tetrahedron, with a million citizens, for Tokyo Bay. Foursquare - Futility ClosetFutility Closet
