This is a shame, because San Francisco is literally built on scuttled boats. Vincent Lackey, the owner of a rotting houseboat that has been stuck in the mud in India Basin for months, is about to see his dreams of opening a waterfront restaurant come to a watery end. Lackey, who planned to convert his dumpy houseboat in to a floating eatery just in time to serve hungry America's Cup fans, has now had his glorified piece of driftwood confiscated by the Port of San Francisco while they figure out how to salvage the vessel or scuttle it entirely.
The photo makes it look like the buildings on the waterfront are seriously ablaze, and I was like, jeez San Francisco, too far!
