Homeless with an RV? I would have thought AMC Pacer or some such.
I read a story about a guy in Los Angeles. He buys old RV’s at a scrapyard and tows them to a curb where he rents them out for $500-$1000 a month. Most of the renters are employed but don’t make enough to afford traditional rent. If I recall, he does wastewater cleanouts too.
That actually sounds like a decent business plan.
These people are underemployed, not homeless.
I had to live away from my family for several months due to a job transfer. I gave some consideration to the urban camping thing but then I found a cheap enough situation renting a room.
The bums at these camps are a societal drag and need to be removed. The mental institutions need to be re-opened, drug addicts need to be offered rehab or incarceration. Perhaps both.
The son of a friend has been in the hospital on IV treatment for some really bad infection he got after someone broke his sternum doing CPR after an overdose. His hospital stay has been several weeks where I understand he’s grateful because it forced him to stay clean.
Such incarceration will help a certain segment of the addicts.
The camps are a pariah and must be eradicated. There was a small one in our city. The police were unable to legally enforce trespass laws due to the property in question being under probate, but they patrolled the area several times a day, made sure the people stayed alive, offered them transport to shelters instead and tried to make life uncomfortable.
The Chief flat out asked citizens to not help them out. Don’t feed them, don’t bring blankets or warm clothes. He said we want them to leave.
They must have finally figured something out because the camp is now gone.
