Houseboat

If you want to live that "Sleepless in Seattle" lifestyle, a houseboat has just come on the market in Seattle.  The price - $575K.  Not bad you'd think, until you realize this is the cost of a houseboat built in 1920 and with a square footage all of 500 sq ft.  No dream of on-the-water city living is worth so much for so little.  This is modern Seattle for you and it's ridiculous cost of living and cost of housing.
