Exactly. These cost comparisons are way off.

For those new to the boating world, a slip is just a space to park your boat on a dock. You would then need to, k'know, have a boat to live on.

To be fair, boats can be inexpensive to buy. But they have running costs, essential maintenance costs, and a low cost slip likely only accommodates a very small boat and evicts you if you try to live there

More importantly depending where your boat is, you might have to deal with extreme heat, cold, wind, flooding etc, your water and waste disposal isn't plumbed, you might be generating your own electricity etc etc. The flip side is that you get the fun of going boating, but it's a lifestyle, not a cheap flat.
