The Single Family Seastead is one of the types of Seastead. The key idea is that a structure engineered for a family to live on the open ocean could be better optimized for this goal than anything else. It should "beat a boat" in terms of space, stability, and cost.
Arguments In Favor
- See also Vince Seasteading Views.
- A single family seastead should take less capital to startup.
- These can be more stable than boats that many families travel around the world in.
- A SFS lets each family decide where they want to go, so dynamic geography works at a fine granularity.
- There is no need for new government structures at the start as each SFS can just get some country flag like any yacht.
- It is probably easier to tile together lighter weight SFS than large seasteads.
- More "incremental" than others and so has a better chance of working.
Arguments Against
- Something just incrementally better than a boat might not change things much.
- Designing a whole new type of structure adds risk to the venture.
- Without tiling together, it might be too isolated for most people.
