Data centres are data centres for a reason... redundant high speed backbone connections, and redundant power supplies (with generator capacity). As well as physical security, non-destructive fire suppression, and trained on-site technicians.

Sounds like a lovely place to live. I'd move right in. Are there any view apartments?

I've lived in wall tents for months at a time. And those were the days of kerosene lamps and pit latrines. No LED lights, no Wifi. The Rest of the World uses tents for emergency shelters for months at a time as well. Don't see why this hard shell system has any advantages. You can insulate tents. You can strike them down before a wind storm comes so they don't blow away. You can move them easily when you figure out that your original plan has everybody in a flood plain. They are infinitely flexible. You can put them in planes, trains and (some) automobiles.

The biggest issue in these camps is sanitation and water supply. And we know how to put these things together. Even FEMA can do it.

You could probably do it - with enough computer graphics and skill. But that would cost a buttload of money (which they don't have) and require the expertise of hundreds of people (like a modern movie). Wouldn't be a secret for very long.

Besides, after a month or so, one of the stars would be photographed at a Burger King in Honolulu and that would be the end of that....
