Some people don't even really sail them but live in them.

Boats aren't even that expensive everywhere. In America they're priced as luxury objects for the richest of the rich from what I've heard. Sailing as a way of traveling is actually a kinda cheap and rough activity, like camper vans. Not very "rich" stuff at all. My grandparents had a 30 footer and it wasn't exactly luxurious, definitely camper van vibes. They'd sailed it all over around Europe though.

Yeah, everyone's got a camper van everywhere because of how cheap they are

Actually not everyone has a camper van everywhere because not everyone desires or has the use for a camper van.

Where I live, I've heard lot fees and utilities or what ever are so expensive, may as well rent an apartment

Camper vans, mobile homes, small sailboats, all wall street rich guy shit, right? Even a CEO is lucky to afford a used camper van.
