Boaters residing in South San Francisco marina told to find new place to live

You better take the 10 grand while you can, bro. They’re gonna move you out either way.

Why would anyone who rents expect that things won't ever change. Renting never offers housing stability.

I'm a boater and I've even lived on my boat at times. I have a boat in a marina right now. I feel sorry for them, but if you want a boat slip forever, you need to buy a boat slip.

The deal and time given is amazing. U couldnt expect more then what their offering. The title of the video should be "Marina owner offers amazing eviction deal"

The landlord (the Marina owner) is offering you 10K and 4 months free slip rental, grab it and move on. Life changes, circumstances change. Adapt and thrive stay stagnant and drown.

I live on my sailing boat and if a marina asked me to leave and offered 10k to do so I'd say where do I sign. I think the boaters have been treated more than fairly, we live on boats for a reason so we can take our homes wherever we go so to complain that you have to move your home is a little puzzling to me but that might have something to do with my next point, but the only thing I can sympathize with them on is finding a marina that accepts livaboards, my trick is to just pull up pay my fees be really nice and helpful to the staff be super tidy and super quiet and then when they finally realise you live on your boat 99% of the time they will let it slide, it's worked everywhere I go, but if you ring a marina and ask if they accept livaboards they'll say NO 99% of the time.

Don’t know what they’re complaining about, to be given 10 G to find a new place is generous. The owner of the property has the right to do what they want with the property. If you’re renting, you’re a renter. But it was a great place while you were there

Hell yeah nobody’s ever offered me $10,000 to move !!! They don’t own the property so anybody who’s complaining about being evicted but offered $10,000 to do so is crazy.

Forced out of their homes?!?!? They can literally take their homes with them, and park them, for the most part, wherever the hell they want. There’s boats at the Marina (Fancy) and then there’s boats anchored about 300 feet from shore… (When your boat can’t move to another marina, it’s not water worthy)

That’s actually a pretty nice marina. It has been well kept as far as marinas go. But the land owner has decided to do something else with the property. He has provided adequate notification and is within legal requirements. Plus his offer to waive rent is pretty unusual. At the end of the day, if you don’t own the land (or water in this case) you live on, your at risk to lose it on short notice.

You rent at the whim of the landlord. I own a rental condo near Chicago, if I wanted my tenant out at the end of their next contract, that’s my right. As is their right not to renew for another year or two.

This marina is privately owned. They can do anything they want. These people are basically renters complaining that their landlord is kicking them out. They have no standing. Renting offers absolutely no stability whatsoever, whether you've been there for 10 months or 10 years. Most renters will never get offered the money you have to leave so take it and go while it's still being offered.

I am always surprised to hear how people from big cities feel like they should be able to stay in rented or leased property forever and dictate who their neighbors should be.

I lived on a boat in SF Bay Area for many years. But I could see the writing on the wall and moved out.

It’s a risk that you take when you choose to live on a boat and rent a slip. It’s much harder to find a slip to rent than it is a home on land to rent. Comparing the two is apples to oranges.

I was forced out of San Diego in 1995 anchor out Gloriaita bay turned out to be a blessing I moved to Az an now own 5 houses most I rent out 4 of them I now own a Nor’Sea 27 trailerable sailboat there is life east of highway 1

Not homeless, slip-less. Sadly, nothing lasts forever. Hopefully this window turns into a door for them.

Renters can't expect to live in one place forever. Properties change hands and new owners sometimes want do do different things with their property. I was renting a home from a couple who had gotten married. The guy moved in with her and rented me his place. Four years later they separated and he told me he needed his place back. It was totally understandable. He gave me adequate time to find a new place and didn't charge me rent the last month.

All you younger generation renters better watch this story closely and remember it because they’ll be coming for you next. 17 years of your life in what you thought was a home and then you’re out just like that…

They need to take the money and run. My friend had this eviction thing happen. She got lucky in that the new owner moved her to a different building for the same price to remodel her building. I doubt if the marina company would do something like that.
