The fact is that the Luteces' quantum technology is just magic with a technobabble name. That doesn't make Columbia any less a fascinating location for story-telling but I don't think that it was ever meant to be realistic. FWIW, a real 'cloud city', like the one in The Empire Strikes Back would have to be totally enclosed and would have none of Columbia's distinctive moving geography..

Living in Columbia could be both dangerous and awesome. Danger 1: If your not careful, you could fall back down really fast, but then we have the Rail riding thing that lets you ride along the rails of Columbia so theres that. Awesome 1: Since the city can move as said in-game, you could drop stuff down there and hope not to kill someone and give them a letter or something. Maybe one of those parachute toys. Danger 2: What if you cant afford the rail riding thingy? You would be dead. if on land but if on the ocean, most likely. Awesome 2: Beautiful Stars Danger 3: If the politics is like the one in-game, then its dangerous, Comstock accusing of colored people as murdurers, racism, Metal men, vigors... Awesome 3: VIGORS I would live in Columbia because of them Vigors and them stars....

I think a better question is, where did Columbia's food come from? The city is depicted as having access to all manner of fresh fruits and vegetables, yet we never see any farms anywhere. Rapture had the farms of Arcadia, along with a fishing industry, but there's no sign that Columbia had anything similar. It's not like it wouldn't have made sense - if Irrational wanted to comment on racism, airborne slave plantations would fit right in.
