Just saw a graphic rendition a few moments on BBC, I'm sorry but wouldn't want to live in there. The distraction it would cause and a bit of dizziness would be annoying for me. This is taking it over the top.

quick info for you.
1) ONLY Moscow have signed up to this
2) Dubai and Doha are both considering this
3) Dubai has issued a formal retraction from news agencies since no sources were verified and Dubai is not committed.
