Park anywhere: A truck is legally a home in Seattle

Squataxists? The YouTube Uber vids will be legendary.

The allocated safe space is driver's side rear within 18" of doorway (assuming 4 door privileges here) and extend from floor to ceiling.

Just hope the driver provides a phone charger...



..or else the "renter" will just CA DA CAWPS!

If Monte or Nuke ever need a city to call “home”, Seattle is here for you.
Well, we’re a sanctuary city too, so I guess it’s fair to say we’re here for everyone.

We’re the bus station of America, just throw your shit down somewhere and make yourself at home for a while.

Has anyone been watching "Flint-town"? Talk about looking into the abyss.

Metros are losing all sense of Americana. Some are starting to meet the descriptions of apocalyptic sci-fi.

How anyone can live in SF, LA or SEA and claim that we are winning just blows my mind. Surely they see the negative impacts of mass immigration in their own cities. I can't imagine moving to Cali in the 70's and seeing what it has become today. It must feel like your culture was totally just steam rolled and wiped off the face of the Earth.

Of course, the Hollywood elite doesn't traffic near the filth, nor does Silicon Valley or the bomber makers in Seattle. They see the multitudes of the destitute as they drive back and forth to the airport and think to themselves there must be a way to help these people get off my streets.

I imagine that'd be my biggest motivation if I were in LA or any major metro. Whatever it takes to get these people off the streets. The problem seems to be we are running out of solutions and people are growing impatient waiting for a more peaceful means.

Check out Flint-town. Certainly cringeworthy at times and easily id'ed as a Netflix Production but when you see the hallway shot of a police station with more lights out than on you get a nice red pill chill.

Some background on the guy living in his truck:

Doesn’t really make a difference as far as truck-houses being a ridiculous idea, but it offers details on the guy whose impounded truck started this nonsense.

First damn sentence,

Steven Long likes to live the “Gypsy-style” life.

Why can't he just re-park the truck every afternoon when he returns to it from work?

Well, you can collect money from property taxes, or when the guy is homeless, you can collect money from parking tickets. The dude is working. I think I'm on his side in this, dirty gypsy filth aside. I didn't read the whole thing, though.

You know those campgrounds they have with water and power hookups, and a bathhouse with laundry facilities?

There's one in Panama City we used to vacation at every summer. Some folks lived there full time, probably retired. They had nice little mobile homes and kept their places looking very clean and nice. It was probably required.

I'm thinking you could do one of those for the vehicle dwelling working homeless, with rules for entry. High standards of cleanliness on your lot, and a requirement for employment. I've heard from others here that dealing with shitty tenants can be a hassle, but couldn't you mitigate that with an ironclad renters contract?

I think it might go over better than streets lined with homeless people living in cars.

[DBTrek]

Knuckling under to some arbitrary list of rules, or cleaning a lot space under threat of some kind of punishment is VERY un-gypsy, dude.

Why you trying to chain a free spirit down?

[Okeefenokee]

You know what, I'm calling bullshit on the gypsy holding down a nine to five.

That dude's a poser.

All he had to do was move his truck one space over within 72 hours.
