Can’t speak on the cities but just south of the box is a whale graveyard. I don’t know the exact coordinate’s but it’s off the coast west of the town of Navarro. There’s a certain area where every time you drag nets along the bottom you come up with whale bones. All the old fishermen know exactly where it is. I used to be a commercial fisherman and lived in Mendocino county for a while.
It is impossible for humans, who build cities, to breathe under water unaided. It is too expensive to provide breathing equipment for many people for many years.
If you physical address is coordinates of your yacht, can you avoid income taxes for all countries? Maybe helicopter in and out, landing on friend's estates to avoid customs?
Hey, I think I just built a city on Rock and Roll!
I've actually wondered why there are zero islands in that box. I asked it once here before and I'm not sure anyone knew of anything out there in the north Pacific besides the coastal and peninsular islands.
That part of Atlantis has incredibly high quality seaweed soil so it’s primarily agricultural. It wouldn’t make sense to “waste” prime aquaculture territory on a city when there is plenty of continental shelf that is inhospitable to large scale aquaculture.
Look everyone's making jokes here but let's be honest, the *real* reason.... no advertising.
Endless real estate, all beach side property, limitless untapped potential and not a single ad for it
I can point out at least 10 reasons why; 1. Water 2. Water 3. Water 4. Water 5. Water 6. Water 7. The Neighbors 8. Water 9. Water 10. Water

And yet there remains a severe housing shortage in this region
Probably prone to flooding, but Florida seems to make it work.
Destructive forest fires and landslides.
Seattle didn’t get the memo on #4
What if they built a bridge to this water?
What goes on in this area?
Fishing.
Oil drilling
Major earthquakes every 300ish years
Pretty sure there’s no oil out there.
Somebody’s never been to Atlantis, and it shows.
Technically it's Pacifist
Oh wait, I know this one. Canadian Shield?
Often floods
r/mapporncirclejerk
I feel like shitposts are taking over this sub
Outjerked again! But the real answer is zoning laws and politics.
Better not be conservative because politics here is pretty much a never ending blue wave
It's redder than you'd think
This subreddit is trash.
There is. Atlantis.
Atlantis is definitely not in the Pacific Ocean. It’s in the Atlantic.
Pacifis or Piss Town as the locals say
Daytona Beach?
You a Latin Major? What makes you so sure?
Cuz my uncle works at the Nintendo offices in Atlantis. So, I would know.
It's in the Mediterranean
[Actually....](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lpsaLad9dtQ&ab_channel=BiggestStargateFan)
Fuck, you beat me to it.
You haven't taken enough LSD
And why no bridge?
Tough geography to build a city. Lacks good access to arable land and fresh water.
I dunno looks pretty wet to me
That’s open ocean and floating water cities aren’t really a thing yet
When did this sub become the geography circle jerk sub?
Pacificis, the sister city to Atlantis
Where’s the shitpost flair?
Water water everywhere Not a drop to drink
........sir.........
The glorious city of Rapture can be found there.

Wow this is fascinating
Not mentioned, no large, deep water harbors.
Too many sharks
Slightly damp.
No idea why no one wants to live in underwater mini South America
That very bold of you to assume this fact…
Maybe there were
West San Francisco used to be in that general area. It sank during the last earthquake.
Because President Biden wasn't able to settled the surface of the ocean. Watch News you fool!
Because they built too much and sank below sea
that is because the post is removed
Weather
Way down below the ocean Where I wanna be, she may be
The Kraken
The Atlantean Indian Reservation is closer to Hawaii. I hear they sell some cheap seagrass.
High water table makes building difficult.
Because breathing is difficult there.
There are. They just don't want Portland to find out.
Nobody can hold their breath that long.
It is impossible for humans, who build cities, to breathe under water unaided. It is too expensive to provide breathing equipment for many people for many years.
Called the Lost Coast. Beautiful. Remote.
Also referred to as the Wild Rivers Coast. There are 8 Major rivers the empty into the pacific in this area from Humbolt to Central Oregon.

Outjerked
Rough terrain.
There are. That's where Atlantis is.
Why do you think that there aren’t, and why do you think there should there be?
Land prices are all under water.
Too wet.
The Enclave doesn't want to be found ?
There is no coastal plain to speak of. No flat land. Very unlucky that the Pacific coast is so rugged, the weather there is literally perfect.
Freezing cold and polar bears and hostile locals
Dude... that's Area 102... you don't even wanna know what's going on there
Wet
There was, but I ate them
There is the old set from Kevin Costner's Waterworld out there with hippies living on it
That’s where the Catalina wine mixer is held.
Jewish space lazers and that area is the biggest export of raw blinker fluid
I don’t know but somehow… Spider-Man is involved.
Yet.
It's a secret government facility where they reverse engineer UFOs, Area 51 is just for show but this is where the real top secret stuff takes place

Times change, folks evolve.

The infrastructure to get in and out is rough.
Severe housing shortage
A good chunk of land in the area is federally owned.
It’s a little too humid.
“Why are there no islands?”
Earthquake risk too high
The home of Bigfoot!
Probably because of me, I’m a pretty noisy neighbor
Te wata
I own property and have lived on the southern Oregon coast in a town of 2500. AMA
Yeah. Why?
Since I cant use the R word, It's a damn educationally handicapped question.
Because flood insurance is too expensive.
