It's more comparable to living in a trailer
park and sending your kids to public school......

That comparison is a little too close for comfort. All to many areas
with a large liveaboard population come to resemble a floating trailer
park, and that is what inspires the restrictions. Tell people you are
a cruiser instead, and actually use the boat once in awhile.

Turning the place into a "floating trailer park?

good enough reason
that wouldn't make the place very attractive at any rate.
