I have thought about this for a few years and I'd love to see it tried at least once to determine it's feasibility. It doesn't make sense to me to scrap a vessel that's only a few decades old when it could possibly be repurposed like this.
Very interesting concept. Where this would be viable would be in a city where a scrap of land costs a few million and taxes are through the roof. The "property costs will be a lot lower and taxes as well. A lot of bug to work out but an interesting and viable solution. I could see this being a good solution for Vancouver.
Only thing in there I liked was the leaving in 2 days part and you have something useful to do....instead of this!!!...GET CRACKING!!!
well AB...done did it agin! got the email notification, even the first 4-5 lines...but...its MIA here...the gist of your post seemed to be "whats wrong with it"...been my experience you put that many people together, eventually things aren't as pleasant as they seem. $1250 a month is cheap in some parts of the country...and if its too expensive, its going to require a gov't subsidy...nossir...you can have it...
Maybe, but my question was if it is feasible?. Perhaps I should have qualified my original topic heading by stating "Under the right conditions I'd choose this over a small apartment or a trailer park"
I had typed a long winded response to both you and OTG's posts, but I don't feel like going back to my WP program to retrieve it right now. Good God man, I'm leaving in 2 days! I've got packing to do.
In the meantime, here is the AV presentation of the researcher and his findings. I thought it was interesting.

Nothing at all about that sounds like a good idea...
I love to cruise, buti feel like the upkeep alone would be cost prohibitive....
No way...........repurposing it would cost more than most lo rise apt blocs....and then it would probably turn into a slum real fast....i'd better stop there..............you clearly need a cruise...but not on one of those heheheh
Interesting concept.
