As far as I know there is no rule or law that says you can't legally "park" on any street legal parking spot in the US.
As long as you are legally "parked" in a legal vehicle there is nothing nobody can do or will do. :B
This simply is not true, but is a common misconception. Parking involves the vehicle. Occupying/living in that parked vehicle is a completely different legal issue which as mentioned in other posts can be covered by zoning, vagrancy and a variety of other regulations.
Not only is there a difference between parking on the street and living in the street, many cities and towns have a general ban on overnight street parking. I've lived in two, have a daughter living in one currently.
Who said anything about living in the vehicle?
I said: "As long as you are legally "parked" in a legal vehicle there is nothing nobody can do or will do."
Let me give you a for instance:
Police are cruising around and spot a MH "legally parked in a legal vehicle" on the street. Hmmmm, they are legally parked so we can't tow.
Maybe some bad RV'er is in it? Knock, knock, knock. No answer. Knock, knock, knock. No answer.
All well; nobody in there. Lets go.
Now, you tell me; what else are "they" going to do?
By the way; what part of :B don't you understand. Just in case you missed it...........let me :B one more time. :R
I know if you park in my neighborhood, or in front of my place of business you will quickly be visited by the local police, legal or not.
In our neighborhood, we know who should be there and who shouldn't. A vagrant staying in an RV would either ushered out by the police or by one of the residents by the business end of a shotgun. We pay a lot of money for our homes and the security of a good neighborhood, and roadside campers are not part of that deal.
Parking in the business district will earn an equally unfriendly response. Nothing spells potential crime more than people hanging around after business hours. The patrol officers will have you gone long before you enter into REM sleep.
