Most of them are nowhere near that. I used to life there for years, on two different houseboats.
Lots of people without regular income on the boats ...
You mean the stow aways in the covered life boats!?
Nope, mostly (human) leftovers from the 60s and 70s. Back then it was basically a floating homeless shelter full of starving artists and strung out drug users.
In fact, up until the mid 90s, there weren't really many nice houseboats out there at all.
One of the boats i used to live on, a *huge* old ferry boat with enough space for 4 full sized apartments, was originally bought for $500 and towed there.
That's hardly seven figures.
