Reclamation is a non-starter if sea-level rise is the concern. Basically we're talking about making boat cities. To me this seems nuts since there's nothing stable about it. The largest passenger boats we have today are cruise liners, and they have relatively brief lifespans, very expensive upkeep, and suffer catastrophes on a regular basis. Thinking that the future for human development is living on boats seems desperate.
