And unless they are allowed to park somewhere they will live on the street

The cost of renting an apartment or buying a house is so high, an RV is a cost-effective solution (if you can find parking). $3000/month for a 2-bedroom apartment could finance a $100k luxury RV no problem.

Two month of that kind of rent and you can OWN a 3-story townhouse in beautiful, diverse, three-generation-donkey-ran Baltimore!

We get a lot of Sprinter "stealth camper" panel vans in our neighborhood. Anyone else see these around?

Does that include the service that cleans the bodies off of the barbed wire?

With the kind of dough you'd be saving on rent you could afford it no problemo.

Just wait for self driving capabilities.

Yes, absolutely. But that house in Baltimore would mean one terrible commute to the main Google/Facebook/Apple campuses! Better to work a dozen years here and then flee to retire and to find a female worthy of marriage.

Won't make an iota of difference given CA fuel prices.

You smart people have not figured out how to telework? I guess you need a place where no one will break in and steal your computer.

It’s legal for you to park an RV or travel trailer in your yard but it’s illegal for you to rent it out to someone to live there.
