MARINA DEL REY—A planned discussion of appraisal work for Marina del Rey slips morphed into a heavy conversation on an attempt to evict boaters from Wayfarer Marina and a spike in slip fee

The marina was never meant to be affordable housing for dilapidated boats that don’t work and pump sewage directly overboard. The new pricing is exactly what the other marinas are charging.
If you want affordable housing, apply for Section 8. Stop complaining and realize that you are lucky to be a liveaboard. It is a privilege! Not a right.
How about you show some gratitude for the years that were able to live cheaply? Most of you old liveaboards are actually polluting the marina and your boats look terrible. And now you want the leaseholder to subsidize your rent??
Grow up. Take responsibility for yourself.
You are not a boater, you are a camper, and the marina is better off without you.
Marina del Rey was meant to be a recreational boaters harbor, not low income housing for poor crybabies. MOVE!
And I am a liveaboard, on a sailboat that regularly sails, with a biweekly pumpout. Not an old piece of crap that never leaves the dock. You make us REAL boaters look pathetic with your complaints.
As a former liveaboard in Basin G during the 1970’s, I sadly must agree with the comment. I recall taking daily free showers at the Santa Monica Yacht Club next door. My landlubber friends were paying 10 times what I existed on, for apartments at Mariners Village or MCC. I cannot imagine the condition of an old craft that has not sailed in several decades. The Marina has long been due for a revamping.
