@nytimes: For decades, dozens of boat dwellers lived rent free on a bay just north of San Francisco. A few holdouts remained as a deadline loomed to leave the water. Video by Livia Albeck-Ripka, Mimi Dwyer, Yasu Tsuji and Lauren Pruitt/The New York Times #bayarea #sanfrancisco #boat #dweller
This is so messed up. Let people live on their boats. Who are they really harming??? [Crying]

Sausalito used to be a cool little town full of artists, musicians and other creatives. It had character and characters. The houseboats were colorful and funky, many made with salvaged wood. Then the rich people came, bought out the waterfront, replaced the artsy houseboats with mega mansion floating homes in neutral colors and kicked out the anchor outs. Most of the creatives left or died off. Now the floating homes sell in the millions. Sausalito is more like Newport than Sausalito. It has become ultra gentrified.

San Francisco in the 70s was so carefree. Hippies, artists and musicians. Sad.

Legislating our waterways has to be handled delicately or it become tyrannical. This is an issue globally: Why shouldn’t people be allowed to live offshore?

The ocean should be free as long as they don’t pollute

Boat hulls do need to be scraped and patched and repainted regularly. There’s also the issue of human sewage going into the bay.

There should be an alternative. I don’t agree with people living on the boats to avoid any fees. They should be participating in supporting a clean and healthy bay. But there are many who need to be on the water, there should be safe and affordable ways.

A year is going to go by very quickly. I skiffed out to one of the longtime boats in the 1990s, it was like going back to the 60s. This is sad💔

This will likely sound insane, but come to West Virginia - New River Gorge, Huntington (college town with direct river access), Wheeling for proximity to Pittsburgh. All the negative shit you hear is mostly stereotypes- we’re pretty nice over here, you’re welcome!🥰💯

If they made me move off my boat it would break my heart. Hopefully they can move their boats to more hospitable waters rather than move into an unsustainable rental situation on land.
