I wish there would be a business to create spaces for Van lifers.
Im an SRE and make 6 figures and have a van and would love to live in it full time but there's no where to park safely in most cities.
I would happily pay 1k a month for a safe spot with a shower and other upscale Van life professionals as negihbors.
- twomoonsbysurf 5y agoRV Parks? I see RV rental spaces on Craigslist in the $400-700 range.
- Overtonwindow 5y agoThere is a tremendous amount of housing, it’s just not where people want to live. The housing crisis should really be reframed as an urban housing crisis.
- edmcnulty101 5y agoAgreed. I think one reason people want to live in these places because there's copious amounts of jobs available.
- Overtonwindow 5y agoI don’t think copious jobs are the reason, because we don’t really know that. People only think that, so it drives they’re push to the urban environment. Also, who are the ones complaining about lack of housing? I’d be willing to guess that it’s predominantly people who can afford housing just fine, they just can’t afford housing where they want to live.
- edmcnulty101 5y agoI respectfully disagree. I'd be willing to bet there's a direct and significant correlation between number of jobs in a region and housing prices. Sure zoning is an issue and there's other factors like weather and scenery...but I bet job availability is top of the heap.
- edmcnulty101 5y agoRV Parks have very specific requirements which usually disqualify Vans. Also, RV parks aren't usually a community of youngish professionals I was looking for. I think they tilt towards retirees and/or groups not in the professions.

- edmcnulty101 5y agoIt looks great! Thanks I applied but it looks like it's in early stages as the locations weren't too clear on the website. But the vision is awesome when they finally get going. Thanks for the tip!
- mythrwy 5y agoThere was Kibbo (now Kift) that was doing something along those lines but think it was more for remote working people on temporary basis.
