'Anchor-out' Marin County houseboat dwellers face relocation

[@UxCaNxCaLLxM3xClaSSY]

For everyone saying his sewage goes into the bay : I live on a boat in Richardson Bay. You are allowed to pump grey water close to shore and for black water a pump out boat takes it for you or you go 3 miles off shore and dump it.

[@Me97202]

These places refused to do a single thing about affordable housing… Then, when people figure out their own solutions, the government steps in and shuts you down without providing an alternative.

No one has a right to live there. If you can't afford it, find somewhere you can afford.

Did Tom Hanks grow up in Richardson Bay???? Some of his youth? And NO senior citizens in this country should EVER EVER be homeless. This man deserves free rent. We do not honor our elders in this country if we allow them to be homeless.

[@Tb0n3]

To be fair just because you got to be old doesn't mean you get to have stuff for free. Plenty of terrible elderly people. Shoplifting, harassing people, doing drugs, were abusive to their kids, etc. Certainly not everybody made their own beds but many did. That said I would rather they're not be any homeless people regardless of age or gender. The problem is that some people don't want to follow the rules that will allow them to have housing. Some are addicts who cause problems with the housing or destroy it. Some people are mentally ill but thanks to Reagan there are no institutions to care for them.

[@henkkahenrik4183]

I mean it's also very much possible to just have a waste container system, and get it emptied by waste management companies on the shore. Like cruise ships are a thing people. You think a mere house boat creates more waste than a ship the size of a small city routinely carrying literally hundreds of people in a day??? Hell, there are fancy cruise ships where that number goes to thousands. Icon of the Seas for example has the passenger capacity of 7,600, with 2,350 crew members. Which means nearly ten thousand people at a time. So you really think a family of five or so, can't figure out a proper waste management system for a boat the size of a house?

Some of these families have been there for generations, one couple interviewed was the 4th living there. But the area nearby became fashionable, so let's move the riffraff to tents in some out of sight dry wasteland, so our view is nicer. Then they can contemplate on how leaving tribes and others living in huts in S & C America without roads, schools, hospitals, clean water, etc. is preserving their way of life, and protecting the environment.

The harbormaster is paid hundreds of thousands of tax payer dollars to harass hardly be around and go to nearbye Tiburon yacht club to wine and dine (on the taxpayer dime write off too). People on the water are self reliant asking for nothing but not to be destroyed and to be treated as a mariner and have some dialogue.

The land under the marinas are private. These people are squatters on public land farther out. They have as much right to do what they’re doing as I do camping permanently in Muir Woods. These freeloaders need to get a slip in a marina. No one is being forced onto land. Just pay for a slip.
