I honestly disagree.
In my S&B neighborhood, we have had a guy living in his TC for a couple of years. He moves around, within about a two block radius. He parks in front of vacant lots or other places where he is in no one's way. As a property owner, I have no worries. He is a nice guy, and no trouble.
There is a separate issue of poverty and disability in this country. My hometown has a large homeless population, due to the desireable social climate -- many churches and other volunteer organisations help people.
Other than charity, we have virtually nothing in this country for people who are severy disabled and too young for medicare.
'Disability checks' are not enough to live in a house in most states. People live in the street, or in broken down units in the sort of super-run-down rv parks that get bad reviews online. Tarps on the roof, no working water system, we have all seen them.
And yes, many people in s&b's fear having such poverty near their houses. We prefer 'out of sight, out of mind'.
I agree with you and your sentiments. WRVPO's argument is based in fear and selfishness. The idea that somehow "costs" that these people will force upon him is baseless. There is no direct correlation whatsoever. And in all my travels I have yet to see these hordes of car living lampreys parked in neighborhoods sucking the economic life out of RV Park Owners. (or anyone else for that matter)
In my experience the vast majority of the folks I see who live as described in this post park in out-of-the-way areas away from people and traffic, a bother to no one.
