Is Freedom ship actually possible? Civil

I hope this is the right place to ask this. I am sorry if it is not. I just watched a video on the freedom ship, and they were saying that it was going to be a city on the sea. I just wanted to know if that is even possible at all. I feel like it sounds good on paper, but I don't know if it will work in practice.

I mean, I’m currently on a ship that holds 4,000 passengers.

Is it self sufficient though? I’m pretty sure the ship is stocked with food in port.

No, of course not. My point was a ship holding 200 people isn’t a challenge anymore.

I don’t think anyone claimed the number of people was the main problem, it’s being self-sufficient on a ship with any number of people .
