    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.

    Try going down the road in there. One lane each way. The road feeds a beach, a park and boat launch. Its packed every week end. Cars backed up all the way to the main road running east and west. Its like that every weekend from late spring to warm weekends in the fall. No thanks.

    Wow I’m really impressed with your house boat.
    Are there any hidden dock fees.?

    Thanks for sharing.
    Is it really costly in the winter for running heat.

    I live in a small fishing village in Nova Scotia and I've often thought about a houseboat type cottage but I don't think it would work in my area because of the high waves and swells .. My youngest son has 2 condos in Toronto both are close to the CN Tower , he rents 1 out and lives in the other ..1 is in an older building and 1 is in a new building ..

    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.

      @user-og2wt3le4j 29 дней назад

      It depends on the boat and marina. Her fees include electric and water. There may be a cartridge system like on RVs. They may also have sewage hook ups for houseboats.

    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.

    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!

    If I was single, I would entertain the idea, but 250k minimum for a house boat sounds insane... our first home was a mobile and the lot rent fees were more than the mortgage; that got very tiring after a few years.

      Unfortunately, in Canada $250K is the absolute minimum for a studio condo in the cities. A 1 bedroom will be $300-$700K depending on the city, and a 2 bedroom will always be more than $500K. Currently I am in Toronto and renting a 2 bedroom that would be worth $1M, the rent is almost $4K a month..
