If floating city bcomes a reality only the richest few will live there, particularly BCOZ cities are being invaded by poor INTERNAL immigrants. Besides the researches in California, Netherland, being a lowlying country already started living in houses on sea connected by a bridge

Floating cities visualized at California's research institute may have to face tidal ways which might have been taken care of. Probably that part of the sea is always calm. It seems LIVING UNDER SEA AT LOW DEPTH MIGHT BE LESS PROBLEMATIC

What would be even better would be floating warzones. Removed from the general population & free to beat each other up as much as they want

Considering how frequent hurricanes have become in recent years, I hope those cities will be able to move around fairly quickly...
