You say this like it's a bad thing.
Automobiles, televisions, VCRs, computers, flush toilets, electric lighting... all started out as wildly expensive luxuries for the super rich. Then they got cheaper.
- bhupy 8y agoEven regular commercial flying was an endeavor exclusively for the rich. Now it's a commodity that's affordable to most.
- jandrese 8y agoI'll be buying that mass production 30 foot yacht any day now...
- stcredzero 8y agoYou can go out today and very easily buy a much smaller mass production sailboat. That would have been a pipe dream many years ago.
- stickfigure 8y agoYou don't even have to go smaller! If you're willing to buy used, a 30' yacht in good shape can be had for $10-$20k. Less, if you're willing to put a little work in. If you can afford $500/mo in slip fees, you can probably afford the boat. I know people with boats in Santa Cruz that live on extremely modest incomes.
