They crush people’s boats? That seems out of character for US systems
I tried to find some pictures of these boats or more information. Found something here: https://pacificsun.com/tensions-rising-on-richardson-bay-as-...
More pictures (google image search for "sausalito anchor outs"):

This has frustrated me for years. The low number and price is crazy, when I visited the Netherlands I stayed in a houseboat and it was amazing and cheap - and there were so many of them.
Earlier quoted context omitted.

The word processor in Microsoft Works for the Macintosh was written on a houseboat in Richardson’s Bay by Bryan Haas, who bought a bigger boat with the proceeds and sailed off never to be heard from again.
Where are these 100 anchor-outs? I can't find even a tiny fraction of that number plausibly anchored on google sat view. I tried to find some pictures of these boats or more information.

You don't see cars on google earth either, unless there's a glitch.
Large cattle herds get blurred in a weird way that prevents counting the number of animals. I ran across this when looking at imagery [1] of the recent quarter-billion-dollar (yes, with a "b") ghost cattle fraud in Grant County, WA [2]. That's right, I said ghost cattle.
I think it's only safe to assume something will definitely be left in satellite imagery if it's in the same spot 100% of the time.
