      You would be surprised. Walk around a small town marina sometime. You have the rich assholes but you also have 75 year olds who move their boat once a year, if that, and struggle to pay shore fees and maintenance on a fixed income.

      Not much different from a trailer park.

        Oh that’s true I literally forgot about those people!

        I would argue there are still not tons of them, but it’s a good point
