>>>About living near a cryonics facility: Is it necessary? why not a
retirement
place for cryonicists with a good dedicated transport service with a
specialized vehicle? As a good place, I have 30 acres near the Mediterranean
border,
two miles from the sea, one from the pine forest,...<<<

Just having land is not enough since a certain failed architectural student
went into politics in the 1930s and introduced the modern form of town
planning. I have 40 acres **next to** the sea, but there is no way would I
be allowed to build on it.

Even if all that could be solved, there are many people that would prefer to
live near to their existing friends and relatives, or prefer being
concentrated with other people in a city and so on. In other words, people
are diverse in where they like to live. So a retirement home for cryonicists
is a pipe dream until there are enough of them to make a tiny fraction of
them enough to fill each one particular type of facility.

David Pizer or Mike Perry may correct me on this, but I think most of the
residential places at Ventureville are taken by non-cryonics tenants.
