Then we can have floating cities in the clouds without the need for an on-going power source to keep them there, just by adjusting the percentage of matter that has negative polarity.
But do we want floating cities? What about the poor people below having to look up at the sterile underbelly of these lofty metropoli? Food for thought.

This already exists. The wealthy live on the hillsides, 'above it all' while the rest live in the mire below.

Gravity has a phase, not a polarity.
Adjusting the phase to create anti-gravity will require energy, though not as much as you might imagine.
Concerned about scenery for the impoverished, eh? OK. Hang some grape vines under the city. Set up some grow lamps. That way the poor can see a beautiful shade of green, and food will rain down on them from on high.

It's kinda unlikely we'll ever have such cities (and I speak as a mathematician/physicist/engineer here) so I wouldn't worry too much abut what the poor people on the ground might think.

your asking a philosophical question for a world that doesn't exist. how about a little "food for thought" of a problem we actually face? Don't worry so much about poor people that don't exist and lend more of a thought to poor people that do exist.

Such vision destroyed by such visions. Who needs more damn cities? Are people really that terrified of dirt and grass?

I've thought about this....but someone will just find a way to turn it into a weapon.
It's better left alone then.
