      @@MiMiiViVi YES! I agree, and have been pushing that very thing. The idea that there will ever be enough housing in the region that is "affordable" is beyond laughable. So instead of creating droves of homeless, have a country wide program that helps people find jobs and relocate to the other states that have a much MUCH lower cost of living.

    Make it illegal and start towing , impounding these vehicles.
    With that being said
    There needs to be some sort of large lot / open space where these people can park and set up a home base .
    If the city has too tow them all to a specific location and they can stay there .

      Instead of getting rid of the graffiti why not get rid of the graffiti taggers? Getting rid of graffiti itself won’t eliminate the problem. New measures need to be taken. Enforce the laws criminalize the lowlifes and the Gangs and ghetto individuals with bigger prison sentence. They don’t want to reform-then to the cell. They are not assets to society anyways only liabilities. I pass by the Bay Area beautiful emerald green mountains but along the way I see tagger writings on buildings and trains. These need to be prosecuted.

    If you rent a car do you have car. Your going to have to give it back so technically those people are carless. If you pay rent its not your home. They can choose not to renew your lease. Therefore you are technically homeless even though you pay rent. Its not yours. These people who live in RVs own their home. No lease. No one to walk in and do inspections. No one can kick you out. Thats their home. No one to tell you how many people you can have in your home. And best thing is rent never goes up.

    There's too many schools for most cities. Overcrowding makes everything worse and California is one of the worst at overcrowding. They should just make like a skid row or a mission district mission street where they have like ten or twenty homeless shelters to shower and feed and possibly sleep and locker up and not do the whole sober living and the whole insane asylums programs and the whole um permanent resident alternative sentence programming thing. I mean send those dudes to a care facility or whatever and let the homeless shelters be a homeless shelters. Hey soldiers can camp it out sane and safe is something we can all work on.

    Sure, clearing encampments parked in front of schools is probably a good thing. However, the downside of this is that the displaced vehicles will simply move a few blocks from those locations and park in front of my house - with trash and garbage all around the sidewalks and RVs. And, surprise, surprise, calling 311 will yield no results. Yet, the city has zero issues forcing me to pay $5000 to redo a cracked sidewalk in front of my home. But, it's okay for homeless people to place actual junk, garbage, and trash onto the sidewalk I paid for - blocking the sidewalk to pedestrians. This sort of attitude, allowing this to happen, from city leaders is outright dysfunctional and a freaking scam.
