The RV Homelessness Crisis

This chapter examines the disturbing rise of RV homelessness in America, contrasting the harsh realities faced by individuals with the idealized notion of van life often seen on social media. It highlights the economic factors driving this trend, particularly the impact of rising rents and job losses on low-income populations. Through personal stories and analysis of local policies, the discussion emphasizes the urgent need to view RV dwellers as victims of a housing crisis rather than as voluntary lifestyle choice-makers.
