Bob Heflin and JoAnne McDonnell's floating home at Docktown
Susan Swope June 19, 2013 at 11:08 am
Come on, Bill. You know that calling these homes "vessels" is ridiculous on its face. IfRead More you lived there, I don't think you'd be willing to sign the lease you've proposed. We should be looking at ways to preserve Docktown, not obliterate it. It is part of the character of Redwood City. The City needs to rethink this.

Definitely a boat. They just forgot to take down the cardboard picture before fencing up the harbor.Read More ;-)

@Richard Defs. Not sure which side you are on here, but there are differences between boatingRead More harbors (like Westpoint) and Houseboat harbors (like Sausalito, and Alameda.) But there are limited numbers of the the latter and they tend to be full up, on top of which it's very dangerous to tow a big house out across the Bay. Docktown is a floating community and the people here quite willing to live by appropriate standards like those that govern the houseboat communities in Sausalito. Having been here for decades with the full knowledge of the City they should now be allowed to stay.

Good question, cipiazza. This is probably related to a sewage pipeline replacement project takingRead More place nearby.

Vanessa and ctpiazza, Buckley Stone at Pete's Harbor says it is because some time ago the CityRead More dredged near muni and ran a pipe under to spill it out at Bair Island, so it is actually the remains of rotting sea life. He knows so much about this area having been at Pete's for 20 years and knowing so much about the area the tides and the nature and land around here.
