They crush people’s boats? That seems out of character for US systems
Completely in character. That's why he holed up in his boat and fought. Only realistic chance of being compensated is pitching a big enough fit that public opinion is on your side. If he had killed some of the officers it may have been a bigger deal and gone better for him, sadly.
Earlier quoted context omitted.
Thanks for the sources. The aggressive NIMBY'ism of the Bay Area is really bizarre. Part of it is well explained by textbook racism.
If San Fran is racist, there is no hope for the rest of us.
For more on the Bay Area’s legacy of racism, highly suggest reading Richard Rothstein’s _The Color of Law_.
vessels are only allowed to drop anchor for 72 hours, according to a law codified in 1987 by the Richardson’s Bay Regional Agency. After that, they are supposed to leave for at least a week before returning to drop anchor again. Problem is, that law wasn’t really enforced in the quarter of a century that former Harbormaster Bill Price patrolled Richardson Bay. After Price retired in July 2019, the RBRA hired Havel to…
Still the targeting of those living on boats is an abuse. An obvious one, that you would think they'd have figured out before embarrassing themselves by harassing folks in that way.
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.

> I can't find even a tiny fraction of that number plausibly anchored on google sat view. 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 ghos…

...which seems to check out. Cars disappear from roads (but not parking lots) only when I turn on 3D mode ("Globe view"). In normal mode, I see all the cars on freeways around Marin. Plus there are boats showing... just not 100.
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.
Have any good sources for more info on that story? It sounds fascinating and I’d like to read more, but I can’t find anything about it.
