If we use hydraulic pillers to lift this house is it give stability during flood and earthquake as well as normal house which is built with pontoons?

Floating homes are a brilliant idea for protected waterways, especially areas like Vancouver that never see strong winds or storms that are plagued with insane land costs. The whole of False Creek could be floating homes, then there's the rest of Burrard Inlet, Indian Arm. Floating homes could solve so much of the world's housing crisis hugely increasing supply and selection, thereby lowering overall prices. But stubborn city planners continually resist change, stuck in the ways of the past.

I am building a house on water and need to understand how the sanitary system that will not pollute the water

[swilhelm]

its hilarious how they make the water look in the animation....normal blue-green. Then when they show the real Fraser River that really should be called Sludge River, it looks more like sewer runoff.

I am of two minds on this project. I wouldn't call it a houseboat.
On the one hand, wouldn't it be marvelous to live in a floating palace. I'm covetous.
On the other hand... This is much more than two people ever really need for a quiet comfortable life. It screams of privilege and decadence. I'm both covetous and horrified.

I've seen other smaller floating homes that seem much more sustainable, or at least with a much smaller carbon foot print both in building and maintenance costs. This house fairly _screams_ *"Party!"* Is this really about a quiet life? What's the expected life-span of this floating house?
