People are desperate, between high taxes and insurance owning a home or renting is impossible. But Miami is Miami and Cubans are known for braking the law before is even written. lol

are they testing the 300 boats just to the north and south of this anchorage at the docks or worried about them?

The boats have black water tanks which holds the waste from toilets. They say the boats never mover so where does that go? Terrible reporting for not covering this.

Sounds like David and his buddies want to get some more $$$ In their pockets. Typical Miami Beach nonsense.

Lol , the cops speak broken English 😂

This is happening in every decent anchorage on Dade County. Check out Oleta River. Full of derelict and half sunken abandoned sailboats.

They should be able to condemn a vessel the same as a house. They shouldn’t be able to ruin it for the people who take care of their boats and do it the right way.

Our Capitalist society at work. This is the constant friction between the "haves and have nots."

This is the failure of civic leaders to provide realistic accommodations for all socio-economic levels of residents. If the rich are secessful in eliminating the working class and working poor they will start complaining that they can't find any good help to do the grunt work for them. And so it goes.

The Problem is In-op Boats. The city needs to legislate that in-op boats can moar, but only for a specific period of time in the entire area. Not just on that mooring. The poop issue is real and two craft were found during this filming dropping feces in the water. Imagine what it was like before they started enforcement???? A private business needs to come out and pump out the poop from in-op boats. The city should increase the fine as well.

Old video

Ive never seen 1 boat pump out waste. They all just dump it in the water

Just because waste doesn’t go into the water when they flush, they can dump their holding tanks when they get full. If the boats aren’t going to shore, they are dumping their tanks in the bay.

So this Spanish official sends the police out at night. (Spanish is important later in my thought.) Uses his position to make life hard on a minority. Perhaps he doesn’t like seeing the boats in his neighborhood. He is using his power to make life difficult for people that can’t fight back. Is it harassment? Well it’s city police. Not FWC or the State. Someone is controlling the city police for a personal reasons. Removing the boats serves just a few. At one time Spanish were treated similarly. Am I saying history repeats itself? St Pete did something similar. What happened. The boats moved to become another communities issue. So he knows what he is doing for personal gain and what will happen. Now boating communities, keep it clean! I would like to sell my house and live on a boat someday. Don’t ruin it for future generations. Turn in those that are the problem, and keep your boats like the area around you. If you’re living around millionaires, don’t be a sore spot for their community.

Stop harassing people with all this unnecessary legislation get a life

Doesn’t really matter how the plumbing is arranged in the boat. More often than not, many of these people simply use a 5-gallon bucket to do their business and dump it in the dead of night.

Pretty sure us coast guard rules would mean most of those boats would be seized. If you cant afford to repair and operate your boat as the same expectation of a house and property than it should be enforced. It doesnt make sense. Stop being soft with criminals. All veseels should be made to pay taxes and/or fees if left in a spot for a certain time

That one guy (a REAL boater) was right when he said they were just “squatters on the water”. The only reason so many of THOSE boats pass the flush test is that they don’t use the head and holding tank on their floating hovels, they use a 5-gallon bucket throughout the day, let it fester next to their galleys all day, and then dump it in the dead of night.

I don't get it. That Bayliner they're showing has an 11 gallon waste tank, that's it. You might go a week or two if it's just 1 person, much less with more people. If the boats don't move how in the world are the tanks getting emptied? Why they hit the macerator switch and pump the tank out in the water. The current method of putting dye in the toilet and seeing if it comes out is just about pointless. What they should be doing is inspecting the macerators and assuring they are properly locked/disabled to prevent POS boater from dumping their crap in the water.
