This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

I think everyone missed the actual greentext part and focused instead on the snarky comment, but there are, in fact, multiple cities in the world (including the US) where a significant number of people live on houseboats. Many large cities with a significant amount of waterways offer this option, such as Amsterdam, Hamburg, or Seattle. It’s sadly usually not cheap and comes with a number of drawbacks, but it IS possible and people do live there full-time.

They have dimly lit house boats but that doesn't automatically mean 'exciting' and 'intelligent'.
