Dutch scenes: boat houses


I was told that at one point there was a shortage of housing in Holland, what left the government to allow boat houses. They are essentially floating trailers, some quite long and nice. They are docked and connected to the land by means of pipes and wires for water and sewage and electricity. I am not sure if there is still shortage of housing today, but the fact is that there are boat houses everywhere. In the upper picture, a boat house in Amsterdam. In the bottom, boat houses in Leiden.
