> larger seasteads will be like cruise ships with many residences / amenities on a single platform

yes, you could have a lot of cruise ship-sized platforms anchored next to each other. This is the most viable floating seastead because on the platform itself people can travel by foot and cargo on the platform itself can travel by small electric carts and elevators.

And I think you would probably have floating causeways between them rather than underwater tunnels. You then have sections of floating bridges for smaller boats to pass under.

Also likely some floating beaches for relaxation/leisure.

But it's still gonna suck because it will be cramped because the floating platforms will be expensive per unit area, and there will be occasional bad weather that will mess up the floating infrastructure.

It's much more realistic than individual floating homes and boat transportation though.

Did he never read Marshall Savage? Many of these points were addressed in the book.
