Video: Yet more “homeless” RVers lining city street

Here is yet another example of what is happening all over the United States. People, most of them struggling to get by, “camping” in beat up RVs on city streets and in some cases dumping sewage right on the pavement. Many of these people would be homeless if not for old RVs that they can buy for practically nothing or rent from “RV ranchers” for $50 a week.

This video comes from Olympia, Wash., but it could be from many other cities. Communities are trying to find a way to deal with this, but, for now, it’s just getting more common every week that passes.
