I always wonder why owners of those RVs are considered part of the problem. They are not on the streets. Most of them do not pollute the streets either. Those who are should be contacted for appropriate enforcement. They likely can afford to pay for a traditional housing unit far away but choose to be closer to their work. Spending 2-4 hours in traffic daily just to go to bed makes no sense as a single person.
I choose to not pay rent since 2015. I make enough money to at least split an apartment with someone, but I see no benefit in doing so. All my stuff is either sold or in storage. I only need a parking spot where to park my vehicle. My minivan converts into a 8x4x4' bedroom and many people walk past it without giving it a second look.
If a city wants to provide a secure parking lot, that is great and I'd certainly park there, but otherwise I have no need for their help. The challenge with this is that whenever such things are mentioned, the city wants to add arbitrary rules. Opponents then at times label secure parking zones as concentration camps.
We need to get people without a tent off the street. They are definitely in danger. Those in tents can be remarkably comfortable with the right gear, but they need land to set them up and the right gear is expensive. They likely don't have it. Sidewalks are not the right land for that, so they need special attention.
Those of us in vehicles are comfortable enough to not be concerned with. If we are able to maintain a registered insured vehicle, that suggests we do not have mental problems.
