| Subject: 'Thank' the statists: How California's army of homeless has turned the state's richest boulevards into RV parks Fri Mar 22, 2019 7:43 pm | |
| California has seen a proliferation in RV and vehicle living in some of the state’s most expensive areas and cities, such as Palo Alto, in recent years The rise of mobile homes lining streets has been fueled by excessive rents and house prices, though numbers are hard to pin down RV dwellers include families priced out of neighborhoods who want to keep their children in the same school districts and full-time, salaried workers Sleeping in vehicles remains illegal in many places across California, which is attempting to financially support more services for the homeless and displaced The Golden State is home to about 12 percent of the US population and a disproportionate amount of the nation's homeless at 22 percent The situation has become so dire that grassroots organizations and non-profits such as SafeParkingLA have sprung up to identify and set up safe parking areas The growing problem has sparked a cottage industry of RV and vehicle 'landlords' who rent out everything from bunks in camper vans to box trucks
