“It’s been five months so far, and I don’t see it stopping soon for any reason,” he says.
*****************
It now may stop sooner than he thinks. I’m surprise anyone would allow him to camp on
their property like this. Now that it is out the camping may come to a halt.
In my home town, during the real estate bubble craziness somebody rented a one of those U-store storage spaces and made it into a comfortable home. I wanted to write an article about him for the local paper. But it turns out what he was doing was against about a dozen laws and if anybody found out he would, at the least, be kicked out. I don’t remember all the laws, but there was a certificate of occupancy, sanitation and water (don’t recall how he did this) and property is classified and taxed by use. You can’t stay in commercial property unless it is classed and taxed as habitable. The list of violations is endless. Doubtless some of them will require jail time as so many ordinances today do. All of this comes down to collecting taxes and fees. Nobody is allowed to violate them because if they allowed it once can you imagine what would happen to parking lots in San Francisco?
Used motor homes tend to be very high maintenance.
What happens when he gets locked in from the outside?
*****************
I guess he could call one of the ten guards and asked them to bring some
bolt cutters and cut the lock for him.
The price to hook up an RV could be as much as rent. We were considering that for our college daughter and the place to leave the RV would have cost as much as a cheap apartment. I can only imagine in San Fran
It would have been okey-dokey if he posted an Occupy Wall Street sign over the space.
;>)
The USA is hard on it’s youngin’. Especially the untrust funded and not socially connected.
Plenty of great used RVs
Yes but probably cost more than $10,000 and RV would attract police who would most likely enforce the strict RV ordinances every community has. His truck would fit right into almost any commercial area or workplace parks like Google.
Key West used to have small junky houseboats tied up around the island in the mangrove areas. They even had electric service. I think the local pols chased them out a few years ago. Heartless homosexual Democrats, they are.
Does anyone remember Gonzo Gates from the Trapper John show?
Also, Elon Musk lived in his office when he first moved out there.
[I suppose he could park it in a residential neighborhood, on a different street every night.]
He could park in a Walmart parking lot.
i was thinking “along the lines” of what sort of mischief might be directed at the truck and its owner
Definitely. I should have said his original idea was good but he will either be tracked down now or multitudes of google bots will try the same thing leading to increased scrutiny and probably a ban.
I know Palo Alto cracked down on homeless sleeping in cars at Cubberly Community Center but I think Mountain View plays Sergeant Schultz and says "I see nothing."
Hey, that's what HER place is for.
Maybe ordinances forbid living in RVs in that locality but don't mention trucks?
“What if he has to go to the bathroom??”
That all depends on his mindset/political persuasion. If he’s an Occutard type, he’ll prolly just walk to the nearest neighboring yard. It’s what the homeless in Berkeley and Frisco do. Homeowners in some areas need pooper-scoopers, but not for pets....
So what he is doing here violates Democrat/Socialst ideals. The young comrade should be condemned for this.
He is attempting to save money for himself instead of donating it to the greater good (as determined by leftist politicians).
(Perhaps Google can correct this by confiscating all the money he is trying to save and then giving it to homeless people.)
But he is on the right track with living in the truck though-All young people who vote Democrat and want "income equality" should be given trucks to live in-that's all the space they need (according to to the multibillionaire leftist politicians, and business people speaking to us from their mansions).
He's so selfish-Since Democrat-Party-Supporting Google provides free stuff for him-He really should just work for them for free-for greater good. (/S)
That assumes that her place is an improvement.
