Living in Berkeley/Oakland area I'm torn on this one we have a growing problem with tent encampments (in SF too) I don't know if this is anything but a cosmetic solution but its an interesting tact allowing people to overnight in vehicles.
- ryandrake 8y agoIt seems unambiguously better, since the alternative to living in an RV would in most cases be... living in a tent.
- jrowley 8y agoLots of people (~10-100 cars) park at the Berkeley marina daily - it's a popular spot for those living vehicles.

- seem_2211 8y agoWell maybe if the people with their million dollar homes let some more housing be built in the general area (shock & horror) there wouldn't be this problem. This is largely a self inflicted problem that California has caused for itself.
- pugworthy 8y agoWas just down in that area last week for vacation, and some areas just south of University Village (B) were amazingly packed with RVs. My daughter (who works near there) said that it's a mix of people sometimes - from the conscientious good (temporary) neighbors to the ones that leave a lot of trash and crap.
