I can see research stations as a possibility in the near term. I believe the Seasteading Institute estimated it costs about $300 per sq foot to live in Los Angeles and their platform would be about $400 per sq foot so it is very expensive. So land price would have to go way up and even then people could move inland. From a domaining/website point of view though, I think this captures peoples imagination and so a blog or website might do quite well because of the novelty. Whether that traffic is sustainable and can be converted is another story though eco-products and books might work. Jim,

Oil rigs are kept to the sea bed at huge ongoing operating cost. Same with old ships, they become rust buckets unless maintained and painted frequently again at huge cost. Communal living at sea of any kind is only for the super rich indulging childhood fantasy. For the rest of us we will have to indulge in coaststeading or what it has been known for years as coastal living. The whole idea while appealing at first is nonsensical in reality.
