Make more land

Abstract

The article advocates for the reclamation of land from the San Francisco Bay. It argues that such an undertaking would be environmentally beneficial, especially when compared to urban sprawl, and would alleviate housing scarcity in the Bay Area. The author addresses several potential objections to their proposal, including the potential environmental harm, the possibility of liquefaction in earthquakes, and the problem of water scarcity. They maintain that modern engineering techniques can mitigate these concerns and that the benefits of the project outweigh the costs. – AI-generated abstract
