A problem for seasteading as a nascent movement is the lack of access to places from which to build, model, and stage attempts.

Most commercial ship yard are not interested until the concept is proven. Most private land is inaccessible. Public lands have restrictions on private use.

Once concept for an incubator site is described here.
