This will cost you...

In a area in the Middle East called Dubai, engineers are building man-made islands and selling them to the highest bidder, going for more than 6 million US dollars. These islands are shaped into various figures like palm trees and a map of the world. These islands, however are made of hundreds of tons of sand and rocks, which some experts say may not be able to hold up against hurricanes and tsunamis(underwater earthquakes that produce HUGE tidal waves). This is not stopping those who can afford it, where there are people on a waiting list until more island are built. If given the opportunity to own one of these islands, would you move there even with the warnings of hurricanes and tsunamis? Is this a good idea anyways, building "man-made" islands in this area? What do you think?
