What stops us from building something like this in Dublin?

  1. Because humans like sunlight? Imagine how long it would take to get out if you lived on floor 17, Row 55 of 100. You could be born, live and die without ever seeing the outside world.

    Actually that sounds perfect, sign me up. Only issue is getting a takeaway delivered really.

  2. Nimbys would complain “oh, the entire population of the planet living in this small area would increase anti-social behaviour boo hoo hoo”

  3. Build what?

    There is no real building there, that’s the space that would be occupied by 7.3 billion people, surrounded by some walls. Everyone that wasn’t on the top few layers would be dead.

  4. Guys you’re missing the point, we don’t need to get everyone into the cube we just need to get enough, and then throw away the key. Overpopulation solved.

  5. Notice it says fit and not house. If you didn’t like the co-living arrangements I imagine being stacked like like packing peanuts wouldn’t appeal.

  6. I’m pretty sure that’s what the Nimbys have in mind every time someone proposes building an apartment block over 6 stories in Ireland.
