As if man made islands, underwater hotels, and the largest building, hotel, and amusement park weren't enough, now Dubai has approved construction on a rotating city by High Rise Real Estate. Everything in the city -- villas, apartments, restaurants, hotels, and wedding halls -- will all be able to rotate independantly. Tired of catching your neighbor granny doing yoga naked? Turn your house 45 degrees to the left and find someone more attractive to spy on. 
The first 10 floors of the high rise apartment buildings will be fixed and contain 1 bedroom and 2 bedroom apartments, along with a number of retails shops on the ground floor. Floors 11 through 14 will be rotating penthouses. The top floor is a split level rotating villa. The villa which occupies 6000 sq. ft. of space has its own private garden, swimming pool, Jacuzzi, sauna, and gym. If rotating your home isn't enough, the top floor villa will have a car lift that takes your ride straight up to the villa!
Here are some shots of the villas that will be sprinkled throughout the property.
And even floating villas that are basically the Jetsons equivalent to a houseboat.
