Where are these 100 anchor-outs? I can't find even a tiny fraction of that number plausibly anchored on google sat view. I tried to find some pictures of these boats or more information. Found something here: https://pacificsun.com/tensions-rising-on-richardson-bay-as-police-arrest-man-living-on-boat/ https://pacificsun.com/tensions-rising-on-richardson-bay-as-...

> I can't find even a tiny fraction of that number plausibly anchored on google sat view. You don't see cars on google earth either, unless there's a glitch. Large cattle herds get blurred in a weird way that prevents counting the number of animals. I ran across this when looking at imagery [1] of the recent quarter-billion-dollar (yes, with a "b") ghost cattle fraud in Grant County, WA [2]. That's right, I said ghost cattle. I think it's only safe to assume something will definitely be left in satellite imagery if it's in the same spot 100% of the time.

  Interesting! But I don't think this is it. I searched for some reference to this behavior and found this: https://www.aaroads.com/forum/index.php?topic=18188.0 https://www.aaroads.com/forum/index.php?topic=18188.0 ...which seems to check out. Cars disappear from roads (but not parking lots) only when I turn on 3D mode ("Globe view"). In normal mode, I see all the cars on freeways around Marin. Plus there are boats showing... just not 100.
