Would you live in a home like this?

I used watch a show on the Science Channel called Beyond Tomorrow. I remember an episode about amphibious houses. The Dutch are constructing homes with inflatable hulls on the cs and polders. They're supposed to be buoyant in case of a flood. In Tokyo, the Japanese are constructing a park on a pier. I'm convinced water will be the new oil, and I believe they should replace all the offshore oil platforms with new communities for people to live. They can even make build them in harbors of major port cities. They can be powered by tidal and wave power and watered through desalination plants. In other words, you'd have a home away from home. Imagine an elaborate marine neighborhood at the mouth of the East River in New York Harbor? Picture some offshore houses floating in the Port of Los Angeles and amphibious homes along the Mississippi or the shores of Lake Michigan. Would you live in a place like that?
