The most difficult part of this is are the social aspects, the engineering and technical things are obtainable. How will it be governed? How will it be secured? How will people make a living, or will everyone just work on the community to keep it running and self sustainable, making money obsolete?

A rail system on North and South sides of the line would be used to accommodate mobile cranes that would be used to stack these cubes in place. The rail system would be used later for deliveries to the City and removal of waste materials from the City in lieu of using the interior high speed rail that would be used for passengers only. There are a ton of additional ways to accomplish this project.

Because this structure would be perfect for lockdowns! It is a death box for human and its Spirit's freedom! A huge monolith on a small sq. footage will be hard on that part of the Earth (and since all is one, the whole Earth will be under more duress) will be creating new problems. I can see this being a large coffin. Get millions of people in a small box, and then watch the box fold upon itself because of "unforeseen" problems, and now the depopulation agenda has gotten another check-off from their list. The real YOU knows too well about the tenebrous forces's agendas, just ask your Being of Light inside of you, then sit in the Silence in your mind quietly to hear the answer!!! I am Love...just like you (if you're a Human, NOT 1 out of the 3 humanoids species on this planet)!

Great and visionary! Go for it!

What could go wrong: - Ideal structure for an authoritarian regime to control people; - Environmental impact: a barrier for migratory animals... a huge massacre of birds crashing against the mirror on a scale never seen before; - Displacement of communities, persecution, imprisonment and death penalty for those who refuse to leave; - High maintenance, slavery work; - Easy target for terrorist attacks; - Like a big shopping center, a playground for millionaires, with cold strangers who don't give a f.. to each other. Don't expect the same spirit of a beautiful village in the mountains, a place with history, culture, a welcoming community... It may be as boring as hell! Three days there and you want to get out, as people do in Qatar when there is no World Cup. The happiest people in the world with the longest life expectancy live in the Greek island of Ikaria: community, family farming, nature... no animals exploited and slaughtered at an industrial scale.

Something else that "could" go wrong if it was ever completed: Water comes from desalination. This sounds like a magic wand for the unenlightened (I used to be there myself) but desalination on a large scale has a huge problem: Once clean water has been extracted, you're left with brackish water, a highly saline liquid which you pump into the sea. Where that exits the pipe, there will be no life whatsoever = a ruined eco system. If you desalinate water on the scale required for this gigastructure, the marine eco system will collapse in the whole area around there and likely have a big knock-on effect on the sea around there.
