Most of these buildings are smaller than you think. Strong sunlight goes almost completely black through 600 feet of perfectly clear water. The right building scaled by the people are ~60 feet away. The middle building distance is  3X as far (~180ft). The far distant (about twice again as far) buildings are still well visible (say <400ft). This means the buildings arent as tall  with floors far fewer than they might seem (Extra 'window' rows are for show, which is expected in Rapture) and the upper 'towers' are probably decorative (interiors too small to be useable - except maybe for utilities). This (buildings being smaller) would also alieviate any water currents pressure which is 800X stronger than wind pressure (even if just current turbulance - if most of Rapture is actually is protected by the side of the volcano). The simplest of all is that just about EVERY level you've ever been inside in the game was squat and sprawling with limited elevations (max ~8 stories is about it for Welcome Center elevator area and Artemis Suites).
