Possible Issues? Just curious if you've thought about them. (page: 1 2 3 4 5)

Have you given any thought to making the design rounder instead of linear? As it is now I see one startling flaw -- anybody with access to any sizable amount of explosives could fairly easily gain access to the retaining wall for the final tier and blow it, resulting in an entry point for whatever may like to enter. As it is this holds true for any of the tiers -- there's a lot of perimeter to cover, elevation advantages regardless. All it would take is one determined mothertango to go in under the cover of heavy storm at night and compromise you.

Plus, getting something like this to not stick out like a sore thumb on any small island nation will be hard. It'll generate talk and, in the event of something happening, enter the minds of a lot of locals. Not to mention getting it through any sort of local code or aesthetic requirements would be adventurous.

Do you find this valuable?

"If there is one person in 100,000 that think like you and/or me. Then there will be way to many showing up for safety. And if they go by boat other boats will fallow.Lots of people will fallow the pack and then others will fallow the stray/rebel person/boat that is heading in a different direction. I would just because most people arent smart or survive a SHTF and going with the majority doesnt pull you out of the pack of statistically dead enders.

As for people valueing private prperty, that is now. After a SHTF they wont care about that anymore.

Fisherman can still see your island and buildings in waters outside your private property zone. And they will fish it if they think they can make a living on public waters. I really dont think you can buy and secure enough of it to stop it. They wont be fishing in a reef area with divers present. But you can both fish and dive the same area without either ruining the other. But hey could be wrong.
Now all these guest and employees and their families. I hope you have them figured into this idea beause most will want to join the group after SHTF. Thats a lot of extra people."

Dealing with a minority of people who might decide to travel further than they need to is going to be a case of either taking them in, negotiating an exchange of whatever can be spared from the stockpile, or fighting. Again, prepared for all of these, but I don't see too many people showing up.

Respecting private property? Only needed pre-Z.

Fishing in the area is done mainly off the reefs, close to the islands. Dive resorts work to eliminate the fishing in the dive areas for a few reasons. Divers getting caught in nets and lines is a Bad Thing. Depopulation of the wildlife is a possibility if the area is overfished, so limits on the number of fish caught usually makes going to an area simpy not worth it. Having fishing boats in the same location as divers puts the divers at risk, and the possibility of a lawsuit simply isn't worth it.
