Homeless migration to RVs creating problems
There seems to be a trend for the homeless to get an old RV and live on the streets. County officials admit their hands are are tied as they do not have proper laws in place to deal with the problem....

When we retired, I looked at where we were living and did a little research into how far our now fixed income would go living somewhere else. It was just an academic exercise, because the DW will never leave here.
I only mention this because Independence MO came out as one of the places that worked (other than no ocean nearby). Median income of $46k means I wouldn't have to work 2 part time jobs and could live off just my SS and investments. That $600 mentioned by WRVPO is just slightly more than my condo fees here (although we'd want 2 bedrooms which run around $800).
But let's face it, if you're about to become homeless in Independence MO, you're probably going to use your last $100 to buy a bus ticket to some place warm.
