This ordinance was rammed through the legal system after certain homeowners raised their concerns to the League City mayor and city council. Some suspect nefarious intent. Whatever the reasons may be, this ordinance is already wreaking havoc on those who it's targeting. There was no input given from the boating and liveaboard community in it's creation. Now, we're using our YouTube channel to raise up the voices of those who were ignored. We will not stay quiet on this issue.
