Maurice - Buildings are built to 'float' literally, in big concrete 'boats'. Perhaps your civil engineers were a little backward.

The bullfighter isn't saying that it isn't possible; he's just saying it effects the economic crossover point. Certainly you would agree that it is less expensive to build a sky scraper on Manhattan (granite bedrock) than in Montreal (no bedrock at all - they literally freeze the soil and float the buildings (at least according to the tour guides ;))).

PS One point that needs to be made is that telephone poles ain't exactly easy to put up in sandy soil either, so sandy soil penalizes both options to some degree.
