If these gov”ts would spend a very few dollars installing breakwaters and or mooring buoys for these boats (remember that even poor people are tax payers) problems like this wouldn’t happen. Maybe tax rich waterfront land owners $1000 a year to have a float (most of which are not in use most of the year) and use this revenue to construct safe havens for people who were not lucky enough to have a rich daddy to leave them waterfront land or money to buy same!
