This is my first article, so I'd appreciate any feedback!
This plan has been proposed before. It was called the Reber Plan, and was deemed infeasible by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, after testing of a physical model of the Bay Area. https://boomcalifornia.org/2015/04/14/the-man-who-helped-save-san-francisco-bay-by-trying-to-destroy-it/
The graph doesn't entirely convince me. For one thing, some people I know met in a way that was online dating, but it was on a Discord server and not through any sort of specific app. I'd like to consider this possibility because I am physically repulsed by dating apps, and I haven't found any people that I'd find interesting on there.
