There is a dump station at the gas station at 1500 Soquel Drive in Santa Cruz. Costs $10 to dump there which is exactly why some people are dumping in the gutter. They don't want to pay the $10. There are also several full service RV parks in the area and many state parks with RV sites. I'm sure Santa Cruz would love having people use those sites versus trying to camp on the street.

What I do find humorous about what Santa Cruz is doing is they are the ones with the liberal policies that encourage homelessness and vagrants. Then when they get those homeless and vagrant people they try and pass laws like this to get rid of them. You know good and well the problems they are having are not with the average RVer like the people on this board. The problems they are having are with the people who have managed to buy a motorhome for $100 out of some field, and get it running long enough to get to the beach where they sit for days or weeks at a time. The want to live in their RV on the street because they don't have rules like the shelters have, yet they can still go get their free food and EBT cards and all the other handouts people in Santa Cruz give to the homeless.

Ding, ding, ding.......winner chicken dinner

Yep.

Santa Cruz does not encourage homelessness. What a stupid thing to say. They are unusual in that they do not make it criminal to be homeless which is done in most parts of the country. When you consider that half the homeless are veterans then it is bullcrap to talk about supporting the troops while they are overseas and fighting for benefit of the oil companies and then want to lock them up when their PTSD and other disabilities put them on the street.

We are the most un-Christian country on the planet and the most hypocritical. Some people have no sense of shame.
