Anyone want a free boat? 🤪

I wonder how many thousands and thousands of dollars would be required to fix it... much be a lot!

@ai6yr
my POV is this is a free dwelling (ADU) that needs work...
would a floating dwelling be worth the money it costs???
@DonChacale @ai6yr
I've heard living aboard can beat rent in the short term in land-scarce coastal towns but marina fees are not unlike HOA fees.
@n1vux @DonChacale @ai6yr I've got a live-aboard friend who worked out that their moorage and maintenance are on a par with rent, but for colder, damper, more crowded living space.

I have known people who saved money by living on board a boat.

But that was comparing marina fees to the cost of an apartment in Berkeley.

Yep. Over priced port cities with inadequate dry acreage in commuting distance is prime place for this life hack, whether SF Bay or Boston Harbor.
@n1vux @michael_w_busch @DonChacale @ai6yr There seem to be a lot of live-aboard folks in Seattle since we're a pretty good spot for that life.
