New type of LL in CA - rents out beds and bunks in RVs?
Skid Road: California's army of homeless has turned state's richest boulevards into RV parks . . .
California has 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 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 ... --174.65.xx.xxx |

Anyone actually do this and have a rental agreement for a RV bunk? I've got a spare RV available . . . Think I'll park my old RV filled with bums (BernieBros) in front of a house of a local politician who like rent control - lots of those in CA to choose from. If he doesn't like it, he can let them live in his mansion, feel the Bern, baby! Free rent for all! /s/ --174.65.xx.xxx |

This has been going on for years. Even in the late 60's and 70's they were doing it.
It's just that it makes the news now since prices have gotten so expensive in some areas and it's used for political stuff.
Heck, even here in northern Michigan, there are people doing this, just mostly low income people.
I've seen articles that in Palo Alto,CA, the home of Google and facebook and other tech giants, you can make $110K a year and still be homeless and living in an rv.
It goes to the arguments of supply and demand, wage stagnation, money management, people's habits, etc. I think there's no real solution. This has been around for thousands of years. --23.121.xx.xxx |

Actually, setting up an RV park would probably be a winning solution in that area. Let them furnish the RV. You provide the pad, hookups and mailbox address. You could pack them in and collect a fortune. Not much to maintain, and when you evict, you just haul their house to the street. --108.69.xxx.xxx |

I can't imagine what the inside of a camper would look like at the end of the month if you were renting it "by the bed" to homeless people.
RV's, travel trailers, campers are fragile. Built for light weight, not durability, and generally owned by people who take care of their stuff. --98.146.xxx.xxx |

As Richard noted, people with RVs have been doing this for decades. In South San Jose, many neighbors call police to report visiting RVs parked at a curb for more than three days because by law, a vehicle must be moved from the street every three days or a ticket will be put in the windshield.
It would be more like Mountain View vs PA where Google centered its headquarters and building offices and Menlo Park for Facebook. But indeed, there’s a stretch near a park in Mountain View and even on El Camino Real that borders Stanford University where a line of RVs park. Palo Alto’s last trailer park, Buena Vista, almost closed a few years ago but miraculously stayed open, and the story even made national news. I think the lot of land of the trailer park was worth over $15million, and the owner wanted to sell, evicting everyone from the park.
I am told that someone who makes more than $180,000 a year in San Francisco said that he “struggling” with two kids and a college loan to pay off and has moved from the area and works remotely.
Thanks for bringing up the topic. --67.170.xxx.xxx |
