    There's pros and con's when living on a house boat. Anyone thinking of doing this may try renting first, or spending a weekend or a few on a sleeper boat to get an idea on what its like to live on the water. She is not discussing storms, cold weather, smells associated with water/docks, noisy neighbors, boats coming and going, sometimes issues with power, water, sewer systems provided by dock services, etc.

    It's a really worrying trend, but what's worse is that most people are closing their eyes to reality. Life in this country has become unaffordable due to politics. Now people have to live on boats and in "tiny houses" - of course, this is bitter and a real shame in the richest country in the world, but you should talk about it. In our society, there should be living space for everyone.

      It's better than being homeless. Sadly, more and more people are being priced out of the rental market completely.
      But, I would rather buy a condo than live on a house boat. As she doesn't own the dock space or mooring space, the harbor master can evict all the houseboats if they have other plans for the dock.
      That's the downside. Which makes it very similar to renting. You are at the mercy of the landlord that owns the dock.

    She's happy with the lifestyle, that's what matters. But the monthly cost is around $3000 cad for financing and mooring fees. Add to that, insurance, heating, maintenance, etc. So cost is probably similar to renting in downtown Toronto.

    Do you know when they first created this, the price was *$14 000* (not including any fees etc)
    Unreal!
    Beautiful place though,great choice😊

    Yup, Bluffers is a nice spot.
    After they started charging for parking most of the riff raff and druggies has moved on.
    But since the TTC started going down there(the park and beach area, May to October) it's getting bad again.

    The visitors going to the Scarborough Bluffs have changed a lot since i was born. The park has to put up dozens of Port a potties just to deal with visitors going in the open. It's a dirty dirty city to be in unfortunately. However I grew up in Toronto and have fond memories of the Scarborough Bluffs in the 80s & 90s and the pretty little house boat community and the little bar at the end of the dock.
    I think it's unfortunate that people who grew up in the city can't really aspire to home on property real estate ownership. And rent generally takes more than is fair share of income.

    Mooring fees are a killer. Rather like throw this much money at a mortgage rather than wasting them forever... 💯

    • @Allister2000
      @Allister2000 Месяц назад +6

      The mooring fee is almost like paying property taxes. In terms of "wasting," our government definitely doesnt waste that tax money. 🤣

    I don't really consider Scarborough Bluffs as "near downtown Toronto" but ok. I like it but I'm still skeptical on what it's like in winter. Winters can be brutal in those parts. And the inspection and repair fees that you said occur every 3ish years is what I'd really like to know more about.

    Bluffers Park is beautiful .. the only snag is , much like the beaches, the entire area is swarmed and taken over by inconsiderate visitors setting up camp for the day., spoiling the enjoyment of local residents .

    Not sure (or when) you bought your houseboot for $250k, but today you cannot get any of them for under $650k .. and that is for a small 650sqft unit! So you are either really lucky OR this took place back when house prices were reasonable once again showing that Toronto, Canada is out of touch with reality!
