I agree with you. Although not ready to throw in the towel just yet, we just heard that our marina in Racine Wisconsin is going condo development. Family business that took the money and ran. Everybody likes to show the picture of their city with all the boats in the harbor/docks but nobody wants the harbor.

I don't think BoatUS wants big boat business; instead, it wants
boats on trailers tied down beside the house or in dry storage.
I often wonder, between disappearing marinas and yards and increasing
premiums, what will happen to boating.
Numerically speaking, larger boats are a minority.
Perhaps even a threatened minority in danger of extinction.
Sadly, few people seem to realize that these larger boats also support a
substantial infrastructure of service yards ane even domestic builders not
mention equipment suppliers without which many coastal communities would be
the poorer.
If devlopment greed and insurancce company dictates combine to exclude large
boats from some geographic area, the economic ripple effect will be felt all
over.
