"Derelict boats and trashed live aboards are a big problem in a lot of areas. I don't blame states and municipalities for trying to deal with it."
So you would prefer them camping under bridges , or tenting down town ?
What you call a derelict , some will call Home Sweet Home.
I think I understand the point you are trying to make. To be honest, to answer your rhetorical question... Yes. I would prefer they were camping under bridges or tenting somewhere. Boats that are being used as essentially a place to squat are a significant environmental hazard and can be a hazard to navigation. My concern about derelict vessels isn’t about being an eyesore in front of expensive homes, or spoiling my view (which I don’t have).
However, I have extremely limited knowledge of waters in the East Coast and know nothing about GA. My experience is just with the Salish Sea the problems that have been created, and are being dealt with, here.
