Is boat better than house?

Today while searching the Net I've found an extremely interesting post. the author compares the costs of buying a boat and living on a boat with a traditional living in a house. Here are some quotes:

Now let me say this before you say it, because I know you are thinking it … yes, the boat is much smaller than a house. I know it, believe me I know it! However, my backyard is bigger than yours I likely have a better view, and if I don’t like my neighbours, I just move. Can you say that? There are trade offs - some people may not be willing to live in a smaller place to be able to live more cheaply and to have more freedom. For us, the trade off is more than worth it. I’ve commented on Living on a Boat vs A House before.

Other Living Costs

• No Hydro bill.
• No Water bill.
• No gas bill (although you will have to fill the propane tank a couple of times a season.)
• No land tax.
• No cable bill.
• No phone bill - no land line, so you will likely need a cell phone.
• If you live on a sailboat, your fuel bill will be very low. As it is, our boat is a house first - and a boat second, so we don’t use much fuel either. Of course, that means we don’t go far.

The author believes that boat is better than home. And it's not only because of costs. It's more healthy and exiting. Do you think that many people will think over moving to live on a boat?
