Tragedy leads to no camping at Cottonwood, AZ Walmart

Can't imagine why the local vagrancy laws did not apply to this squatter, much sooner.

News from my home town. No camping/overnight parking

We seldom park at Walmart etc... over night, but I do hate to see the opportunity to do so disappear.

X 2 Here again a select few will probably ruin it for everyone else that obeys the law and quietly camps overnight.

That sucks. There's a pretty big difference between 9 derelicts living in a Suburban and abusing the store's facilities and someone rolling up in a MH for a night. But, unfortunately this will cause WalMart and towns to crack down. My local WalMart has "No Overnight Parking" signs all over the lot, but trucks and MHs stay there routinely. As long as there's no trouble, the police look the other way.
