This is the same organic way in which real cities grow. New York did not start with skyscrapers, it started with pioneers. Seasteads will be able to progress much more quickly, but they must still go through the same incremental process. If it sometimes seems like we focus overly much on the initial, rough levels of infrastructure, its not because we don't want to build a floating Hong Kong. Its because this is what's required at the beginning, and the beginning of nation-founding appears to be very difficult. We believe its vital to focus on starting the process, and not be too distracted by visions of the end results.
