I am amazed at the scale of the RV housing in industrial areas of Oakland. I walked several miles yesterday in southeast Oakland and saw up to five RVs on a block, obviously housing. As the article says, this is not a question of a few very poor people having trouble finding housing in few very expensive coastal areas. The Bay Area town I live in has a median household income of $100K. The payment on a 3-bedroom condo or 2-bedroom home is now just about $100K as well. And my area is a solid 1.5 hours from San Francisco.
- johan_larson 9y agoThis is one of those things the municipalities need to stop doing, promptly. If this becomes an established part of the housing market, it will acquire a constituency and it will be much harder to stop later. Just look at what a political mess decades of winking at illegal immigration from Mexico caused.
