That was just the home construction, not the property.

Yes. All they need to worry about is a useless summer with maybe 5 real summer days a year, and a dark, depressing winter soaked with unending rain and temperatures way too high to offer any decent snow conditions in the neighboring mountains (Whister's prices are insane). Fall is pleasant but still saturated with rain. Truly one of the worst places to live in the world. Yet home prices continue to rise. There is no sanity at all in this world. No common sense.

@@moosesnWoop I was talking about the climate of Vancouver, not living on water. If you built it properly and check it periodically its a very sound way to live. You just have to be wary of high wind. That's why most are in sheltered bays.

Wow … love being on a barge on the water but these are something else …

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.

There’s enough land for every single person to have 5 acres min. Seriously.

Houses like this are moored at a marina and connected to the city's sewage system, wastewater is pumped back to land and treated like any other house would be

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.

A bit excessive

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?

I agree. That whole top floor is unnecessary. How many parties would you actually have.

Exaclty... When people talk about living on the water I think minimalistic, natural home... Not mega-structure eyesore...

@@KaileyB616 It's a bit like Elon Musk hurling his cherry-red Tesla Roadster into space. The concept of _Potlatch_ comes to mind. Most people with that much money spend it unwisely. This is either a wise purchase or a Tesla Roadster in space, and I can't decide which.
