Yachts for the homeless

I was reading recently that Los Angeles spends up to $800k per year to house a homeless person. That’s insane. Thanks to the fact I just concluded another winter of laptop boat shopping, I believe I have a solution to the homelessness crisis. Check out this 60’s era ChrisCraft. Three staterooms for fifty thousand bucks! A lot of homeless folks hate their shelter options, but you’d have a waiting list to get a berth in these lodgings. And this math applies to a boat that actually works, which isn’t, strictly speaking, a factor when you’re converting a yacht to a homeless shelter. Boatyards across coastal America are bursting with vintage high-quality yachts, available at near give-away prices because they need re-powered to the tune of a few hundred thousands. Not if you’re converting them to homeless shelters, they don’t! You could find a ChrisCraft Constellation in the 70’ range, with no power train, at a price that would bring the cost per homeless person down to a few hundred bucks. That’s some big savings over what we’re paying to house the homeless now!
