Vans as airBnB. I admire the chutzpah and initiative.
That’s where when you wake up in the morning...
you’re up on blocks and have no radio.
It’s not a terrible idea. Vans though probably not a great thought. But not far off since Starbucks offers free bathrooms. Instead of vans, get a fleet of old RVs and camper trailers and rent them out by the day.
Out in Los Angeles, they have had big problems with RVs parking in neighborhoods by the beach. Dry camp (not hooked up to electric grid or plumbing) and then dump the sewage into the city streets. Ever couple of days just drive it away somewhere, fill the water tanks and gas generator, then drive it back and repeat. Park it near a Starbucks get free wifi. Or 5G network to a mobile phone, free to some low income users paid for by the special tax everyone else pays for their service.
This isn’t really that crazy. California bought thousands of trailers with the idea they would let homeless use them. AFAIK, they never used them for that purpose. NIMBY. Trailer homes, livable. But nobody wants them parked in the streets near their house.
It’s very clever.
