Maybe great weather, no bugs or mosquitos, no humidity, in between beaches and mountains. Geography & terrain is some of the most beautiful in the world. Even though it’s turned communists, I’d live in California if I could afford it. Or if I needed to live In an RV, I’d be out west as well. Or maybe Tennessee on this side the
Mississippi River

I'ld be interested to see how many of them have jobs with skills they couldn't take elsewhere. There is plenty of available housing, it's just not in places where people seem to want to be.

That's manufactured "housing crisis".

Looks like they have houses to me. Perhaps a mental illness and drug crisis is a better description of this mobile home layout.

A fair question. But clearly some have bought the narrative judging by my post on page one receiving downvotes.

There is not a national housing crisis. There is a shortage of reasonably priced houses in some areas, a result of progressive policy.

Probably because they are living rent free.

They are also largely picking places with mild winters. They ain’t doing this in Fargo, ND as far as I know.

Lax laws + mild winters = hobos dream

Services. If you have services for homeless, they will be there.

So, people are selling their homes and buying junk RV's and just moving around the same general area?
