I'm not a big fan of those houses on the manmade canals. In fact, I'm
not a big fan of having waterfront property with a boat dock. Looking
out the den window and seeing a big boat or my neighbor's house across
the canal is not to my taste. I'd rather park the boat at a nearby
marina. That should be much easier these days in Florida because of
the financial collapse there.



I think most people who own homes on manmade canals do so *because* they
can dock their boat near the house. That's why they live there. If
people don't like looking at boats, they shouldn't buy a home in an area
designed for people with boats.

And you can always look at your neighbor's boat across the canal. Or the
rats who live in the canal climbing out of it! :)
