She's jumping to conclusions. Lots of people enjoy living in camper vans and RVs. It's a fun, cheap, and adventurous way to live. I know people who own a house in a ski town, and they'll take off for weeks at a time living out of their camper van.
TBH there's a good chance they make more money than the author.
- not_kurt_godel 9y agoThere's a massive, massive, huge difference between voluntarily taking an extended trip in your 'camper van' (which is probably a $50k+ Mercedes or similar if the owners "own a house in a ski town") and having to live in a shitty, broken down RV as a home.
- jlarocco 9y agoOf course, but the author didn't talk to them at all, and doesn't know anything about their situation except that they got out of the Uber at a van. Since they were Ubering around town instead of driving the van, I would assume they're probably not poor. But we'll never know because the "journalist" was too busy listening to music to find out the facts.
