Aside from the fact that these "floating accommodations" are hideous to look at and mar the beauty of public access to waterways, are any of these "floating accommodations" subject to accommodation or other taxes?? if not, they should be. Also where are they putting their grey water and waste- how is this even being monitored ? What about noise and light issues? What impact is on the marine life?
It is ridiculous for someone to claim that the structure they live on year round is a vessel. In comparison, we were told that my brother in law can't build a small bunkie with a compostable toilet and portable water on the land he owns unless there is a house on it. So is his solution then- just put a "floating accommodation" on the shore? ?
Ontario, Canada, and individual people in general, need to really step up with stopping the continued erosion of our natural environment, not just for humans but for all the other creatures that live on this planet. One of the reasons that, despite living in a subdivision in our town, we have kept our large backyard totally natural, no interference by us, other than the odd removal of a tree that poses a danger to our neighbours or ourselves. The number of creatures that live, play, or pass through out little woodland is wonderful.
And if these structures are allowed to carry-on, then give the first choice to municipalities to build small units for the underhoused. Not to those who can afford to own/build one on their own and make a "business" out of it.
