People have have been living on boats anchored out in Richardson Bay for decades. Now local governments are trying to remove them.
#liveaboard #documentary
Richardson Bay is located North of San Francisco, across the Golden Gate Bridge, in Marin County. For the past few years, various local authorities have been confiscating and destroying boats anchored out in the bay.
The Richardson Bay Regional Agency and others have labeled boats as derelict and marine debris, before seizing them, and crushing them with an excavator. The result of these actions have left many people homeless.
Where there were once over 200 boats, now sits about 60. the remaining anchor outs are fearful that their boats will be seized, but are adamant that they will not leave the bay.
As if destroying people's floating homes isn't bad enough, some of the anchor outs have questions about the authority of the Richardson Bay Regional Agency to regulate the bay.
Richardson Bay is a "Special Anchorage Area" under federal regulations. some of the regulations that the RBRA and others have adopted seem to contradict the federal rules.

Update: I received a response from the Coast Guard regarding my questions about the Special Anchorage Area. In my opinion, their answers have been delicately dancing around the questions and find clever ways to avoid saying who has ultimate authority in Richardson Bay. Here is one of the responses I last received. "The Coast Guard is committed to promoting safe navigation among all waterway users. Where there is an actual or perceived conflict between federal regulations and local ordinances, the Coast Guard works directly with applicable authorities to resolve the issue as quickly and effectively as possible."

@@aremoreequal I call them corporate nazis's. Thats what they are. The US sold their freedom for more corporate bucks $$$ during the nixon/reagan era, when the whole communist / socialist scared their boot straps off, when they installed their fascist god into our money, our flag, our government, when it wasnt there before. The democrats before them didnt want to sell out to the rich during that era, thus they lost, and this 2 party system had lost. And this is what we are seeing today, its why you don't see no one speaking of "unions" or fair wages or equality issues regarding wages. Its why all corporations have their own union busting videos and speeches; the nazi's themselves went after the unions, socialist,s communists, trade unions, til they can put their "own" kind into power, and their own version. Once they lost the war, guess what happen? the unions took over germany, increasing wages, their christian religion also dropped, fascists left with their religion. Look at trump and biden, these 2 are corporate "nat'cs". They are for corporations. Both being conservative and religious; don't let the name fool you, just cause they have democrat behind them, they are still conservative, just a little less; compared to the far right side.

You have my sympathies. I was a "full timer" in several RV's for many years. I lived in them so I could follow my work around the country. I found out first hand how badly local and federal lawmakers want to dissuade people from living a mobile lifestyle. They want you planted securely in one place so they can keep tabs on you and get to you when they want. They pass abusive regulations that are aimed directly at people who live a mobile lifestyle and there's not much you can do about it. Luckily I wasn't "anchored" to one harbor (pun intended) and could move when conditions got heated. Hell, they were calling me "homeless' when the Class A motor home I was living in was nicer than most people's earth bound homes! I had satellite TV and internet, phone service and the whole RV was totally self contained with it's own generator. Most earth bound homes don't have that. Sadly our government has gone from serving us to ruling over us!

Dr. Strangelove. What is the difference from shitting on the sidewalk and shitting in Richardson bay? Many of the so called anchor outs living on derelict boats will simply leave them to sink or sit in the mud once they have worn out. Most of the remaining boats are far past their life expectancy. There is so much shit in the mud from this happening for nearly a century. When the tide goes out it smells like shit. I am 62 and it was like this when I was a kid. Richardson bay is not a bay, but is a mud flat. When the tide goes out 95 percent of the bay is mud. Mud and shit.

This reminds me of where I used to live it was a mobile home community and it eventually got surrounded by multi million dollar housing and businesses. Eventually the city concocted a reason to force everyone to leave and eventually declaring the area eminent domain. We raised hell about it but it fell on deaf ears. Sad thing I see here is you’ll get the word out and an annoyed reaction from the local government. You can just feel the shit eating annoyance from that RBR guy on the phone. “What don’t they understand..” But most people will see this and sigh a bit give their fake platitudes of thoughts and prayers and not give a shit. They have their own worries no one could understand it until your left in the same situation.

Your not going to like or agree with what I say and that's ok. The reason why homeless on the street is ok. Is because no one knows when they come up missing. Or misses them. They are one of the sources of illegal organ harvesting in america. It takes a long time for the drugs to really destroy your organs. Most addicts die of OD not organ failure. Opiates and speed aren't really hard on the main organs they want. At least not until decades of abuse. Anyone 40 and under would have viable organs regardless of lifestyle in 99% of cases. And your average herion addict or alcoholic if they don't have aids or HIV is worth 500k+ in organs for people who are dieing. This is why they want you be a organ donor on your driver's license. If you get in a bad wreck or something happens they will keep you alive long enough to harvest your organs and make 500k+off you. Instead of you oweing them a debt. If they know they can't get any organs from this person they actually fight to keep you alive with everything they can so you'll now be in debt to them and hopefully they'll make 100s of k in the long term from you. Either way it comes down to the money.

It’s really very simple. You either join the machine or you’re fed through it’s gears. It's really a sad state of affairs when petty tyrants from government agencies can “legally” steal someone’s home and destroy it because they’ve granted themselves the power to do it in writing. What will they do if one of those that now has nothing to lose start to destroy the homes of the guilty bureaucrats? Terrible times we’re living in now, especially in a country that was formed specifically to escape the tyranny of overreaching government.

From what I heard, and read... Over the past few years they made a lot of people homeless by destroying their boats. Eventually a homeless encampment started right in the middle of Sausalito (there is some dispute over whether they were all anchor-outs or not) Then a few months ago the city paid $540,000 to get the people in the homeless encampment to leave. 30 people were to receive $18,000 each - I also heard that many folks didn't get any of this "aid" money... but that could just be because there were more than 30 people in the encampment when it was shut down.

I am a full time live aboard and can see the issue from both sides. I like to pull into a place and throw out my anchor and live for free. Where I am now, there are 4 other boats. Three of those boats have been abandoned by the owners. They are stuck in a shallow area, and slowly falling apart. One has it's sails shredded and hanging down into the water. Locals tell me that one of the boats had broken loose several times and drifted into other boats causing damage. Locals take it back out to the anchorage and re-anchor it. The last anchorage I was at had 4 abandoned boats in it.

I believe this has to to with people being single. Lots of people and governments treat singles harder than people with families. That’s why college students didn’t really get the first stimulus payments and people with families got the most money. Imagine if they mostly had families living on the boats or Vans. I really don’t think they’d have any issues with the government. I truly believe they are running into trouble because they’re single and being successful and don’t have to pay what everyone else is paying to live. Single people have to overcome a lot to be successful in America. The people on those boats are successful and that means a lot to me

I lived on a dutch barge on the canals of England, but only lasted 2 years, I found a mooring (pretty difficult) with a farmer, eventually his brother got a boat, and as I was last in, I was first out, he threatened to cut the ropes and send my boat away, I eventually sold the boat to him for super cheap, he used it as a 'work shop' ...wish I'd been more stubborn, as obviously there was space if he was using it as a work shop. Still annoys me, but I was young I didn't have much support, and in the UK these days you have to have a mooring on the canals.

In Florida they actually redesignate the navigable water as "submerged land". Then the marina makes it a mooring field where the huge unused area becomes unavailable.

He had MS, so could legally list me since I took and passed the three month course. He, in turn, was a live-in maintenance man. In the two other large rooms resided a live-in nanny for his four year old, and his live-in housekeeper. With 22 units in the building, and 22 renters, each subletting or sub-subletting to individuals and couples, the owner who lived in India and who was never seen in the eight years I lived there, that building was raking in the money! Hey, even I sub-sub-sublet my room during the summer, usually to medical students doing a summer rotation. In the meantime, I worked as an as-needed volunteer at my friends’ lake side summer camp. That entailed trimming back foliage on the hiking trails, doing a weekend shift at the beach, taking tourists on motorboat tours of the lake and mouth of the river, and perhaps a day or two filling in for a teen counselor. The worst that could happen was a day hand washing humongous pots and trays or operating the dishwasher as the state requires passing a two hour online course and being no less than 21 years of age! IOW, in exchange for a little mostly pleasant work, I got a free vacation in the Adirondacks! My “pay” also consisted of my cut of the rent money. It sure beat being homeless, living in a car, or sleeping in city shelters. I couldn’t afford to rent a legal apartment in NYC. About the best I could find was a 6th floor walk-up windowless cubicle in the YMCA or a tiny basement apartment grandfathered-in to avoid the two exit safety laws, enacted after the summer of 2020 when a torrential storm caused the deaths of 13 people by drowning.

The state has also become concerned about many of the dumping raw sewage into the waterways but that is understandable. My dad's houseboat survived many hurricanes including Ivan and Katrina with no major destruction because it simply floated up higher as the storm surge came in while many houses around him were significanty damaged.

I was in Sonoma & Marin county between 78 - 92 , heard about an island made from barges that was going through this , do not know what happened ? Then in the early 90s + same issue with boats on the Mississippi near downtown St. Paul MN , the land owner had a 13 + yr. long battle with the city , the land owner rented out dock pace for live-a-boards , the Feds said all was ok , the city kept trying to get rid of ? What ended up happening - the land owner could not get permits to develop the old power plant into artis studios , so he sold to another developer , not sure who ended up with the property , but the building was torn down & built new one in its place . A lot of lies [ most likely a lot of lies on both sides { the one I knew personally - never flooded the site - I was there for 2 floods in about 5 yrs. } ] .

In Honolulu at the Ala Wai Boat harbor (near Waikiki), there have been many people there living on their boats for years. They pay about $400 a month for the boat slip, and there's a full 🚻 with showers in the parking lot. Outside of the Harbor there's a lot of boats just anchored there. A friend of mine lived out there anchored on her sailboat for free for many years. Nobody bothers the people that live on their boats either in the Marina, or the Harbor. Median rent for a 1 bdrm apartment in Honolulu starts at $2000 mo.😮

I used to work as an electrician. A supervisor building mega yacht marinas. the last one I did was the St Petersburg municipal Marina when they did the refit in 2003 and 2004. I didn't even have a state electrical inspector that could step on my job and tell me what to do because the army corps of engineers is the authority for that sort of thing on the water. This used to piss off the local inspector to no end when he would try to walk out on my build and I'd tell him to go fuck himself. Those were some nice jobs. I had one build out that I had a baby manatee that would come to see me everyday. I would feed him a head of lettuce nearly every day. Good times.

I have lived on the shores out in the North Bay area of San Francisco. I also used to stock vending machines at the local docks that people live at and tie up. What I seen was these people who live out there in the waters come in and dump all their garbage illegally in private dumping containers. They had to lock up the dumpsters. Also they use the public bathrooms and leave them absolutely dirty. Showering in sinks and leaving dead ass socks on the counter. Illegally scrapping metals from bridges, underpasses, and other boats. I literally am not seeing any of the negative things being talked about. All just comments saying "fuck the man" type shit. Sorry but dumping sewage illegally for 35 years is not a flex.

@@sheliajordan6871 First of all I didn't mention anything about where I live or my finances. Second, I am autistic + ADHD. Only 29% of autistic people can get pass the interview process. That is because the interview process is designed to weed us out because of severe discrimination. Even though, we are much more productive because we don't get distracted at all. We have zero tolerance for chaos, and therefore make sure everything is super organized. We can't stand to be late anywhere, so to make sure we show up on time we aim to be everywhere 15 minutes early, since our goal is to be 15 minutes early, we allow ourselves enough time to not be late for the 15 minutes early. We show up 30 minutes early every day. We are some of the top innovators in society and the top creatives too. Not only that, but our mathematics is off the chart and because of the way we learn and our ability to focus, our IQs are much higher than non-autistics. We are also computer geniuses and can out program and find the mistakes non-autistic programmers make. Companies, by changing their hiring process and ditching discrimination, can actually increase their bottom line by hiring autistic people. Fortunately, companies are starting to learn this so the numbers might change. In the meantime, getting f*cking jobs is practically impossible for autistic people. When we are hired, we are underpaid and harassed at work for being different. OH, and did I mention that 80% of ADHD are able to get jobs and when they do get them, they are underpaid and under-employed too. I am both autistic and have ADHD. Although I do have back pain, it wouldn't qualify me for disability. At my last job I endured horrific discrimination because of my autism. It is quite normal because we don't sugar coat what we are saying. We state is straight forward and bluntly. They literally harassed me till I left. Even though I was one of the top producers in the company. This was after corporate moved me clear across the country. This was after I was rewarded for being a top innovator, within the company. I am currently working with an organization that is helping to navigate the job market and get a career that will pay me what I am worth for my skillsets that are off the chart. Did I mention that the company that I one of the top 10 reps nationwide underpaid me because of my autism? Therefore, companies don't want you to talk about your pay, because they like to be able to discriminate against certain groups of people. Technically, I could qualify for permanent disability, but I can't stand not working and the pay sucks too. I say all of this to tell you to get down off your damn f*cking high horse and stop judging people you know NOTHING about. I don't really care how many hours you work or how much you make. The fact that you work that many hours a week is your choice and not mine. Ain't nobody making you do that but you. Since you think you are so high and mighty why don't you just get another job that pays better? Whatever don't bitch to me about how many hours you work. Your working through the pain of arthritis doesn't make me feel sad for you at all. I have gone to work for many years with debilitating migraines caused by sensory overload from the sounds and lights in the workplace. Lots of people go to work in pain! I have arthritis too, but it doesn't stop me from doing things, in fact moving is the best thing you can do for arthritis, so as far as I am concerned your going to work is good for you anyway.

If you listened, they have jobs, but not jobs that will afford them to live in that area in stick-built homes. In the Bay Area it costs thousands of dollars to rent a studio apartment. Even upper middle-class people are having to move several hours away, but these people can't afford to move out that far because of the commuting costs. A bunch of multi-millionaires and billionaires are upset because people are living on their boats in the bay. They are upset because they must look at working class people and are mad because these people don't have to pay the same amount to live there as the rich people. There are people who live on boats in most bays except for maybe where it gets down into minus numbers. It is cheaper than living in a house and it is more ecofriendly. There are still costs to living on a boat that the video didn't talk about. There is constant upkeep and repairs that must be done. These people aren't living totally for free anyway you look at it. It is just affordable housing for them. Trust me, if you lived in this area these same people would be trying to run your middle-class ass out of town!

I finally left when I lost my boat and injuries kept me from rowing out to fast company (mothers boat). I love the people there and that life. Hoping to stop in for a visit come spring. What these people are saying is true. The government there is corrupt, the sheriff and police are corrupt, and so are the agencies running the bay. O yea it's also the last Anchorage in the bay area. All others have been taken away. The next closest o e is Princeton harbor as it's a place of safe harbor in a dangerous stretch of water making it also the most dangerous harbor to enter and leave.

Outstanding documentary! One does not need to be a lawyer to recognise that irrespective of whatever the local board may say, they have no jurisdiction over this Federally Protected Waterway! This means that their act of seizing and destroying private vessels has always been illegal, and that it cannot be supposed that they believed it to be anything but illegal. I have no doubt whatsoever that if the Liveaboard Community consisted of immaculate yachts of wealthy business owners then there would never have been any conflict. The description of the Liveaboard Community as being "Rent-Free" and "Homeless" tells the viewers all they need to know about the attitude of the board to this Community. As an Interviewee said, he hauls all if his trash and waste out and he respects the environment. Never forget that areas were constructed for the community to live, which is why they have Federal Protection.

He moved to Dana Point's new harbor for almost double the slip fees and no liveaboards, which wasn't an issue for him, but was for me as I lived there while going to college.

There is piles of it baking in the sun and then running down the sides of the boat when it rains. They are a nothing but floating homeless camps and the owners are the most disgusting humans imaginable. There are boats with piles of stolen bikes/other items on them. They have no concern for the damage they are doing to the environment or anyone living in one of the most beautiful cities in the world. Then they have the nerve to complain when people have had enough of their behavior. Maybe if you weren't disgusting inconsiderate pigs the people/government would have more compassion for your situation.

There's lots of ppl who are or where liveaboards who are benefited greatly from this. I personally had a boat taken and scraped on me without me even knowing until I was told by the boater community. I moved ashore and was glad too nologer be on that moldy death trap that I bought for 500 bucks in a desperate attempt to avoid homelessness. Cheap boats need maintenence but ironically attract sailors who can't afford maintenence. Boats get old and ppl get bored or tired of them and then realize theirs no system in place for cheaply scrapping them, in most cases it costs thousands too properly discard a boat, but some salvage wreckers will take the metal from sailboat keels as payment from the tow/recycle operation. In truth most of those derylik boats will either snap a line and float into some1 else and cause harm (I almost got sunk by one that snaped anchor line in a storm) or sink into ocean causing eco harm, so if they aren't on it and don't make an attempt too maintain it, then it's a ticking time bomb.

I can see both sides of the argument. The only difference between them and people who sleep in tents in city parks is there is federal naval laws protecting them from being removed. The arguments they give for staying there are the same arguments people who set up tents in city parks use. Now if there are disparities between federal law and local ordinances that really does need to be cleaned up so everyone knows what the law really is. As for finding lawyers there are many lawyers who do take cases free of charge when they want to help. The only problem for the boaters is that the courts may not decide in their favor. I can see a judge ruling that the local government has the legal right to kick out any boat that are seen as an eye swore. I wonder how many of the people who live on the boats don't give a shit and dump their sewage and trash overboard or harass the local marine wildlife who also make the bay their home. When people don't have a vantage interest in taking care of things they let it go to trash as they see it as the easy way out. I was a out of state landlord years ago and it was really hard for me to keep an eye on the tenet and they really trashed my house where I had to spend tens of thousands to fix everything they destroyed. I ended up selling the house as the damage tenets can do in a very short time can be far more than what can be collected from years of rent. Go to any government owned housing project and the place is a crime infested trashed shit hole as the tenets nor the government gives a shit what the tenets do there. The tenets will trash the place as they have no fanatical reason not to trash the place and the government don't care as the tax payers will foot the bill. Bring this back to the boaters you tell the boaters "You have to do X to stay" and enforce it the boaters will comply as there is no easy why out of doing it. Now what ever is told to the free boaters must be enforced also on anyone who docks their boats in the water at a marina as anything else will create a double standard.

Whatever arrangement they’ve made with these RGBA folks should be removed and they should have no jurisdiction whatsoever in the bay. Tell the rich people with the yachts to go somewhere else or just coexist with the people that live there. That bay belongs to everyone not just the rich people.

It all starts with a few Karens calling the local city or county and demanding that "Something must be done" and the politicians are glad to increase their budgets and staff to fix things.

Careful, the Feds are far less accountable than your locals, which is why the land belongs to local entities and the Fed’s try to steal it with various “protection“ measures then allow exploitation by companies that make Congressional donations. That’s what the Bundy ranch standoff was about, seizing local land to protect a bug, then bulldoze it for a Chinese solar farm that does deals with Harry Reid. Got to be really careful about who you put in charge to “do the right thing.”

This is what happens when you have too much government period. No man should have the right to rule over another

It can just as easily go the opposite way in your favor with a strong state/local govt. Just depends on your situation and beliefs, there is a spot for everyone in the US

Just wait until they say your house is not environmentally efficient enough and they take your house because you cant afford to upgrade it to unattainable standards.
