This is great. On the right track. 50 million of these would make a much better Wall.

Chrisg288, I'm from South Africa and like your suggestion, just get it to the White House, that is the right place to start.

I had this idea for a Long Wall Mall a few months ago, with a separation between countries, but close enough to see each other, and perhaps families that are separated can live with a glass wall between. Able to see and communicate. And maybe thete would be official meeting rooms allowing touch. Yes i know its like a prison that way but better than nothing. Modular construction methods can make it affordable, coupled with strip farms adjoining.. idealistic? Yes. Impossible? No. Solves many border problems by creating an economy ON the border. Real problem with gangs and drugs though.

There was a modular complex built on Alexandra rd in the UK in the 70s.

Looks like a wonderful opportunity to roll a bunch of microapartments down a hill.

As for gangs,,,, ropes, firing squads and guillotines provide a permanent solution.

Yes, kinder gentler ropes, firing squads and guillotines. Wouldn't want them to feel bad about it.
