  • Baystead - Founders
    Baystead requires a small group of founders to fund its construction and then live on board. While we can take this role entirely ourselves (and will if necessary), for a number of reasons we'd prefer to share it. The cost will be on the order of $50K - $250K per person, most likely about $100K/p. Unlike normal real estate, there are no seastead mortgages and the market for baysteads is not yet liquid, which means this is more of a financial commitment than buying a house. Interested individuals should be enthusiastic about running their own infrastructure, experimenting with a new lifestyle, and sharing that lifestyle with visitors. They must also want to live in the SF Bay area. Useful skills, experience with communal living, and a desire to help achieve the larger vision are a plus. We are likely to be somewhat picky in order to make sure incompatibilities don't cause problems.

    The SF bay area is one of most expensive places in the world to live or do anything else. Why not baystead someplace like Mobile Bay,Alabama or Charleston, South Carolina. Living costs as well as many other costs of the whole concept would be half that of Frisco. There are many people on the Gulf coast with practical experience with ship and oil platform construction and operation. Deep Gulf oil drilling and the world's need for refineries could be a ready source of financing of a full scale seabased community.

    But there are millionaires in Frisco, millionaires who can offer a lot of money if they support us. You see, its all one big marketing ploy.
