Then you get into the "if you let that guy stay overnight in a class B, why can't stay overnight in my minivan" argument. And then, " if you let that guy in the minivan, why not my SUV".
To me this statement says people that can afford a MH should be allowed to stay for free, but the people that can't should pay for a campground.
No, my comment was actually the opposite.
Many RV owners argue that because they are self-contained, they should be allowed to overnight. But that suggests that others who are not totally self-contained should not be allowed to overnight.
And that means that cities and counties and parking lot owners would need to spend money and effort into enforcing that choice.
Allowing people in cars to overnight can create a problem in logistics regarding bathrrom needs, etc. If there is no restroom available all night, then folks will pee in the lot. Which requires clean up.
So, for cities and counties, the easiest option is to not allow any overnight parking. That way they don't have to deal with all those other issues. It prevents the slippery slope scenarios (if, then arguments).
