minus-squareRonnolinkfedilink1•2 years agoNope, our spoil isn’t dense enough for it. We cannot build higher then what you see in Rotterdam, because the building would just fall over

minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilinkEnglish1•2 years agoNot in the part that’s under sea level. Can’t have basements there either
minus-square@cydlinkEnglish1•2 years agoWhat does being under sea level have to do with bedrock? Bedrock exists under the sea too.
