  This question is such a depressing example of Bay-Area inhumanity. God Bless America

    I feel secure in asserting that the bay area is not representative of America.

      I have driven across the US multiple times, in what way is it not? The bay area is a lot more than San Francisco

        You’re joking, right?

  Often the RVs in places like OP is referring to are dilapidated and don’t run, with tarps on them, not connected to water or power. Essentially a small shanty house in a slum so I guess it depends on your definition

  Last I checked, RVs are not permanent or semi permanent structures, nor do they have addresses, so… Yes. It’s living in your car, just a bigger car with amenities

    Which should absolutely NOT be made illegal. Give these people places to actually park their RVs that have facilities to use, instead of pushing more people to end up on the streets.

    Someone should be allowed the freedom to live in an RV if they so choose or can’t afford anything else.

    Just help give them a decent place to do it.

      One hundred percent agreed

  The RVs are usually not drivable. The last time they moved them in front of my old job, none of them ran. They had to tow away more than they drove away. I guess you can argue that doesn’t make them totally homeless, but they are definitely creative.

  Homeless doesn’t necessarily mean sleeping under a bridge. You can be crashing at a friend’s place and still be homeless if you don’t have a home of your own to go back to. An illegally parked RV with no mailing address doesn’t count as a home for most purposes.

    But how many of those people would consider themselves homeless? RV shit is a total fucking lifestyle for a lot of people.

      It’s not a lifestyle if it’s not by choice. Try finding a job without an address. The people that do it as a “lifestyle” are usually just wealthy turds or social media dweebs larping as happy families on the road despite their kids being obvious miserable

      • EdibleFriend@lemmy.world ⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

        Well… Yeah. That’s why I asked how many of them consider themselves homeless? Obviously some are forced to but then there’s a lot of people who just really fucking like RVs?

  When it’s parked on the side of the road, yeah.
