The following is somewhere between "tongue in cheek" and a "rant", my intense dislike of the one party system here is the reason.
Well once again California is leading the way in providing a solution. Sacramento (the legislature)has introduced a bill to effectively negate all local government laws regarding sleeping/living on the streets of California.
This is not a drive by RV park owners or home owners who wish to negate the CCR's of their HOA;s but the belief that there is a "Human Right" to have a home. So anyone who has access to an RV will be able to park it anywhere on any street in California to overnight or to live in their RV.
A small but mostly conservative town on the coast has in place a very active city sponsored program to provide free services to homeless folks. The purpose of taxing the residents to provide these services was to improve the quality of life they moved there for. Free parking, food, housing and sanitation facilities are provided to anyone who needs it for a limited but reasonable period of time. If this proposed law passes, their program for helping the homeless will be prohibited because it is part and parcel of the law prohibiting sleeping in public location.
But it will allow RVers to park 0n the streets of a beach town without regard to time limits or how it impacts the folks paying to house, clothe and feed the homeless.
So when, not if, but when this law passes, those of you who are passing through will be able to park on any city street you want. Of course all STATE owned highways will be exempt.
