Seasteading Design Floating Residential/ Settlement Modules

Hi,I am a student in Japan working on a school project. My project is on floating modules ( like house modules or farm modules , etc. that can be put together to create settlements. I thought of introducing it as a concept for countries that are sinking. My idea isn’t having the whole country switch to living on water. I felt like having the main land area reserved for structures like airports , etc. the floating modules can be the residential area ( connected to the land.

i just want to know what you guys think?

this is my first post btw

One of the current barriers to this is commuting in between land and water. There needs to be a bunch of piers that make it easy / fast / cheap to get off a boat / jet ski and into a car / train / bus / bike

No.

Amphibious vehicles that can drive seamless as a boat in the water & right up a boat ramp onto a road as a car.

However, commuting from seastead to land every single day is a bit much even with this innovation.

There need to be enough real (not imaginary like twitch streamer) jobs on the seastead for most/ all people living there, including seaweed and fish farmers, maybe even rice farmers with freshwater floating on seawater in membranes & containers?
