This is the most capitalist dystopia thing I've read today!

As homelessness continues to grow, so does the number of those living in their vehicles.

Americans are finding refuge in 'safe Hoovervilles'

As someone who lived full time in a fifth wheel voluntarily with my family, living mobile in a tiny home, RV, or camper van can be pretty awesome. However, many of these people aren't doing it by choice and that should never be the case.

The greatest country.

Americans living in their cars

😱😱😱

are finding refuge in ‘safe parking lots’

🤗🤗🤗

They must be really happy about how amazing the economy is doing.

This has been going on for nearly a decade already. Probably two decades now

Safe parking lots are better than living in a van down by the river!

Families sleepin' in their cars out in the Southwest

No job, no home, no peace, no rest, no rest

This is America.

Another Snow Crash prediction is coming true.

Are there rules about keeping all your crap within the confines of your vehicle (at night | on weekdays | during street sweeping) at all?

I find the sea of detritus present in these camps - seemingly right after the first resident shows up - is a huge factor in the public seeing them as risky and dangerous.

Every single media story on homeless campers is jammed with shot after lingering shot showing a carpet of junk covering everything; and while it's neat to set up some deck chairs in front of the Winnebago, I'd love to see some process or policy that keeps everyone's shit either bottled up in their hard tents periodically or moved toward the sorter and recycler.

It'd help promote the "campers are just people and not the rubbish of society" idea that we know in our brains but need to also feel in our hearts.
