Look around the marinas in South SFO for a boat big enough to live aboard cheap. They are around. The marina will charge about 250/mo for rent, including electricity and water. Most have common showers and game room facilities as well as parking for your car.
I know a Virgin captain that bought one last year for 2000 dollars. It is not really sea-worthy but floats and does not leak. After a few years you can sell it for scrap or to another pilot.

Sounds like fun. A marina with a mob of trashy people taking cold showers and crapping in a public toilet. Livin the dream.
