Plenty on the San Francisco Bay in Sausalito also. Here is the webpage of
one of the builders of these floating houses.

There is a difference between a boat and a floating barge.

Yep.

I knew (through the net) a live aboard on Lake Michigan....he was building
his dream house. He lived aboard his 30 foot Wellcraft during the
project..the boat was also covered in shrink wrap with bubblers in the water
during the winter.

We got sick of living aboard our 32 footer after one or two weeks on
it....and this was while we were visiting different ports during the summer.
Now add to that ice, snow, power outages and freezing temperatures for a
good part of 6 months. Even the walk from the boat to the car had to be
treacherous every morning.

I could never do it unless I had a good sized yacht. ;-)
