Hundreds of locals in one of San Francisco's wealthiest counties have been forced to pack up their lives into RVs and trailers after being pushed out of the housing market.
Shocking photos show the ever-growing line of trucks and other vehicles along 101 Highway – which now stretches over two miles in one of the largest encampments in the country.
Cities in Marin County, where on average homes cost $1.4million, are pushing for the line along the highway to end after the number of residents living in their cars ballooned during the pandemic.
Photos and video taken by DailyMail.com show families living in tents and using portable barbeques as their belongings spill out of the RV's and trucks.
Some appear to have used flags to mark the area of road that they use for their home, with many pulling tarpaulin over their cars to protect their possessions.
Officials say that there are at least 135 vehicles along Binford Road, on the outskirts of Novato, as the number who call it home has expanded.
The average household income in the county is $131,000 – which has left those with lower incomes nowhere to turn.
Residents of the surrounding area are now coming together to try to help bring the encampment to an end by helping people find services they need.
Every month they are given free groceries, assistance with their housing case management, medical assistance and much more.
There will be a push for the services to be expanded after state funding was awarded to Novato, Sausalito and San Rafael and to Marin County for unincorporated areas like Binford Road.
Each city, and Marin County, received $500,000 to address their encampment issues – with the county bringing in $1million in resources to help each of the regions.

I bet the fecal coliform bacteria count along that stretch of coastline pegs the needle. It’s a given that virtually none of those RV’s properly dispose of their sewage.
>>One guy even has solar panels powering his RV. At least he’s green.
And in true greenie fashion he has them pointed AWAY from the sun. :)

If someone doesn’t have the money it takes to buy or rent or live in one of the most expensive spots on earth, and yes it is super expensive and everyone knows it. — BMW is German for Basic Marin Wheels and houses go for $2 to $20 million —-
And a simple one bedroom apartment can go for $4 or $5000 a month
—- if someone can’t afford such an outrageously over- priced place, they really should rub their two brain cells together and move to a more affordable spot where they might be able to get at least a roof over their heads. Just saying
‘Bout the size of it.
Meanwhile you have tens and tens of thousands of Central and South Americans hopping on board buses to take them to the Mexican border. These buses are organized by United States NGOS and the bus fare is cheap or free.
What you reward you get more of.
What you punish you get less of.
Currently these people are being rewarded and so we can expect that “camp ground” to grow. Putting up NO PARKING AT ANY TIME signs would go along way of forcing them to move on but the cities don’t do this, the question is why?
My guess is this is all part of the globalist plan to create the chaos they required so normal productive people will cry out that something be done, at which point we will see draconian laws and regulations and in the name of solving the problems that they created but are really design to control us more.
(just a theory based on no facts what so ever). :-)
“ From federal taxpayer dollars, no doubt. ”
All those trillions in Biden-printed dollars have to go somewhere. The states can’t even spend it all. The politicians in D.C. can only pocket so many billions…the rest has to go somewhere…and these people are a nice conduit to get it to the cartels.
So - “living in a van, down by the river?’
Looks just...wonderful.
Your home burned down in the same month you lost your job?
Remember the beginning of the pandemic when China just decided to stop shipping pharmaceuticals and masks etc? The CIA analysts have been learning and teaching their children Mandarin for 30 years.
Reality might suck but this is where we are.
I’ve no idea how to fight back.
They’re just bums.
Move ‘em out with truncheons and tear gas.
Isn’t global warming and rising sea levels going to wipe them out?
They better get boats.
And those flags marking the boundaries.
Mark them with the range from the RV door -
20 yds
30 yds
50 yds
Comments just in from a friend who I sent this story and link to:
“This is totally fake news and fake pictures. I live in San Rafael now and am Very familiar with hwy 101. I do agree though that Marin County is VERY pricey.”
Why would they ever want to leave? Rent free ocean front property with free food and medical? Hell, I am thinking about buying an RV so I can retire there.
Texas needs to bus several thousand illegal aliens there. Why should the poor illegal aliens have to live on the streets in El Paso when they can have everything provided for them in California?
Bidenville.
Can’t beat the cost of rent.
And you have a sense of community..I wouldn’t trust anyone cause every one is a loser just like you.
What happens when the gutter comes to power.
