      Yeah more people need to check out barges that retired before they scap metal vessel. It easy to convert to nice house boat and even have. Deck on top or build up for more room but have to have deadman tie ups to release up and down on river levels and make sure pump out leaking department underneath vessel.

      is that green stuff on the water safe for everyone?
      also: since we're still producing a billion PLASTIC BOTTLES PER DAY......we should collect them all into nets or such, and create millions of houseboat platforms or "islands"! WIN / WIN.

      I live up the river a few hours and its interesting cause pretty sure people do that unofficially up this way at one of my favorite hiking spots...I have a question though is what makes you do all these videos on off-grid living and alternative society communities? Are you going to start one someday and if so what type from all the exploring of them do you see most doable and practical?? Definitely need a lot more options out there as people are looking

      Of the people who live here, how many of them are on public ,welfare, food stamps and medicaid. I didn't hear that question asked by the interviewer. I would wager that most of the residents are on public assistance. They bitch about the system, but they make no contribution to humanity. How many of them actually hold down a regular job and pay income tax?

    I lived on a houseboat at Gate 5 in Sausalito in the 70s, including a stint anchored out. It was a very similar place. Small, funky boats and a vibrant community though in one of the wealthiest counties in the state. Today there are still small boats but everything is on concrete barges, the place is expensive and the county is getting rid of the remaining anchor outs after 50 years. Long live the Mississippi river rats!

    It's really cool that they won't have to worry about having their residences destroyed by periodic flooding events; they'll just float above them. If you're going to build on a floodplain you should either build something with multiple floors and a sacrificial ground floor with nothing much on it that could be destroyed by flooding, or a floating residence.

    Devon, U.K. Taw & Torridge estuaries. That's Barnstaple, Bideford, Braunton.
    1990 --- the government were sick of us living in freedom. They couldn't stop us. Very old laws protected us. So what did they do? Sent in the SS (social services), later re-named SSFD which was meant to mean social services and family department, because they didn't like being called the SS, but of course it just meant SS and Family Destruction. They did a sweep of ALL our children. Said they were entitled to normal lives. WE NEVER SAW THEM AGAIN. It never hit the press. Child protection laws, don't ya know, against publicity around children. My elder daughter threw herself under a train. My middle daughter went psychotic. My neighbours committed suicide or disappeared. Denise Govier, RIP, killed herself. Families were ripped apart. An elderly man was forced to become a house dweller. Parted from his lifestyle, he died. Bifeford council came to break up the boat of John Matthias Vicary Alexander. We faced them down. They sent in contractors who told John they'd "put him six feet under the mud" if he stopped them smashing his boat. He wept.
    Ethnic cleansing was outlawed. For gypsies. Apparently not for boat people. This goes on all the time, protected by "closed courts", as we are got at through our children. Who as you say are happy afloat. And will not drown like town children if they fall in, as they are used to it. Mine could swim before they could walk. NOT A SINGLE BOAT CHILD REMAINS ON THE TAW & TORRIDGE ESTUARIES, AND MOST OF THE PARENTS ARE SUICIDED OR GONE MISSING because ONCE THE SS GET INVOLVED, NOBODY WILL BELIEVE YOU'VE NOT DONE WRONG. THEY ALL SAY THERE'S NO SMOKE WITHOUT FIRE. Well yes there is, as boat people know - smoke bombs, red flares, orange flares.
    IF THE SS START ON YOU FOR GOD'S SAKE RUN YOU ARE UP AGAINST THE WHOLE GOVERNMENT WHO DON'T WANT ANYONE TO BE FREE. A snatched child is worth 3 million to them in adoption fees and your suicide only costs them a £25 chipboard coffin. I could list everyone on the river but I think you will get the message from this.

    Sewage treatment is my main concern when I see people gathering off grid to live ? You cannot openly defecate/urinate in the water or in outhouses with the water table high like this. Cholera comes to mind when I see this living arrangement.

    Upstream in St. Paul there was still a squatter marina up through the 1990s. Now municipalities are actually seeing 🤑 in river front access now that they aren't just dumping sewage right into it. The histories of the poor folks living in the disregarded public common that was the riverside is really fascinating and personally alluring as a person who doesn't fit into this present society

    Very sad, but it depicts our society as a whole and that is sad and deplorable. We have become a people with no purpose, no value and no vision for a real future. Just imagine if Benjamin Franklin and George Washington had lived here in their time.

    I understand the need to regulate unsafe things and make sure the public knows about them being unsafe. I would never support a large apartment building being actually unsafe and being allowed to be rented to people. There is enough proof that most companies and investors will not act altruistically in the face of diminished profit. That however is someone doing something to others. But I feel a lot differently when it comes to people taking their own safety into their hands. Yes some protection should be given to children and the elderly but mentally cognizant adult humans should have as much freedom as possible so long as it doesn not infringe on others safety and freedoms. I dont see this as being infringement or unsafe for others. Also at a certain point we have to acknowledge housing is in crisis. People working one or even two jobs can not afford societies norm for housing anymore and we are going to have to allow people to simple get by. Unhomed or un stable homes people do not usually wish to be a nuisance...they simply have no where else to be. And people who are not hurting others should be allowed to just freaking exist damn it

    @yamchayaku ปีที่แล้ว

    Just out of curiosity, how do these people maintain their boathouses? It doesn't seem like there's a drydock anywhere and after some time the floats will wear and fall apart, causing the boathouse to sink. Do they just swim under that gross water and replace the floats or something?

    In the 1980s there was a similar boat house community on the west side of Richardson Bay, which is attached to San Francisco Bay. It was just north of Sausalito, California. I was a commercial fisherman and often sold my fish at a pier in Sausalito. Just north of it was the boat house community. It wasn't uncommon to see marijuana plants and naked people on these boats and barges.

      @@OfftheCuff_Series: I searched on Google Maps satellite view and couldn't find it. Everything is so much different now than that last time I was there in the mid 1980s so couldn't even find the pier where I sold my fish. It looks like now there are docks with slips, and a lot of yachts and sailboats in that area.
