Who says you have to live on dry land? Try a floating house...

Building floating foundations is a snap. Just fill a concrete box with some kind of plastic foam, flip it over, and you've got a stable platform that's ready to float. And the more of these platforms you join together, the more stable they are.

Zevenbergen's company has already built floating greenhouses and has plans for houses that not only float, but also move.

His idea is that you can move them along the river, and go to a city which is close to the river, and park your home there in a special harbor which is constructed for this type of boat. A nomadic way of living, that you can change the area where you live depending on the season or whatever.

I do believe that we will have cities floating upon the sea. In a way we already have towns where workers live (e.g. oil rigs, ships, wind farms)
