Bidenville - RVing Homelessly

[$ecular#eckler]

So, this may not be as new as it seems. People have been parking at Walmarts for at least a decade. The northern California waterway area that this report pictures is similar to a waterway I passed in Galveston a couple of times in 2019, but I did not see any RVs there except for the Fourth of July.

Shocking images show the TWO-MILE long vehicle encampment

Pictured taken by DailyMail.com show families living in tents and using portable barbeques as their belongings spill out of the RV's and trucks.

This has been going on for years.

That's a lot of toilet tank dumping on the roadside.

Democrats changed yet another definition. RV is Roadside Vagrant.

If you are homeless do you have to be a pig too?... look at the garbage.... just like at the southern border... I saw a video and thought it was snowing in Texas and then I realized it was trash as far as the eye could see....

There has been a permanently mobile population in the US for quite some time now.

From sunset years retirees to The Rainbow Tribes...living on the road is not all that new. Remember the Dust Bowl years? The Great Depression?

It is getting larger..and less mobile..as gas prices rise.

The Rent Is Too Damn High! - A Guide To Living In Your Car

With housing prices so high, it’s no wonder that many people have to live in a car to get them over a rough spot. Rent is the biggest percentage of any budget which means living in a car can be a big money saver.

Oh, yeah. I watched a few YouTubers' vlogs on the subject a decade ago.

I was thinking about that too

So everything is just fine and dandy in America? Things are just like they always have been? I remember travelling to San Francisco, New York, Chicago and Philadelphia years ago. Now I wouldn't go to any one of those cities if they paid my way. Would you?

I have been to three of the four mentioned cited in the last 5 years. Pretty much same as it ever was, AFAIK. Speaking about New York specifically, it is both cleaner and safer than it was in the 1970's. All cities have good and bad places. Food is still good at Alioto's in SF...and State street is still live in Chicago.

Hell..if they paid me, I'd even go to Philly~

Snowbirds move back north in the warm weather; they hit states like Missouri or Idaho and the like this time of year. Lot of people sleeping in their cars around here and in the DFW Metro area. Wally World cleans them out every couple of days.

Whenever the media covers those big tent cities the local pols sic the cops on them, so they scatter. Blacks and wetbacks get all the Section 8 housing here, they use a lot of racist violence to keep their concessions. Wetbacks are outvoting the black thugs ow, so we will be seeing more wetbacks pushing the feral hood rats out as time goes on. Downtown real estate owners and all those rich kids with Fine Arts degrees have colonized downtowns here and pushed out a lot of poor and homeless. They got a lot of big welfare grants and 'urban renewal' welfare from the Bide admin as well. The big corps got their employee housing wishes granted.

I took my wife and kids on the New York subway without a second thought. Not a chance I would do that today. All of those cities have deteriorated and are significantly more dangerous. You can brush it off with "all cities have good and bad places" but that's a dodge.

You are conflating the RV lifestyle with the people who are forced to live in an RV because it's cheaper than paying rent.

Novato is in the San Pablo Bay area of the north SF Bay and is fairly affluent. I am sure that the residents are not at all happy about this encampment.
