Curbed SF sez, "A photogallery of rare beasts: houseboats of San Francisco, of which there are only about 20."
This past weekend, Curbed SF went on a tour of the houseboats, or "floating homes" as it were, of Mission Creek. Once more or less considered squatters, owners of the city's houseboats were thought of as "a bunch of hippies" by the Port of San Francisco, according to one resident. But now that they've won a master lease from the Port, just recently re-signed through 2055, these guys are totally legit now. Just in time to watch the empty land around them fill in with insta-condos, naturally.
They always say, "They're not making more real estate, ya know," but here you have it: real estate from the water. Bet it rocks (so to speak) in an earthquake, too.
