Bay Area RV homeless crackdown intensifies as cities tighten rules

Cities across the Bay Area are escalating enforcement against people living in RVs and vehicles, with Oakland becoming the latest to approve a policy to speed up towing. The move follows concerns that the city is becoming a sanctuary for displaced residents from other areas. An estimated 20,200 unhoused people live in Alameda and Santa Clara counties, most in vehicles. A 2024 Supreme Court ruling has given cities more authority to enforce camping bans even without available shelter space.

Sweden registered 62% more motorhomes and is preparing to let them drive faster. Chet Hanks moved into a retirees' trailer park in Nashville — for the country music career, not the savings. Plus a Korean workation site for 100 motorhomes, an unmanned trailer hotel on Hokkaido, and a gyrocopter pilot who landed on a highway and clipped an oncoming motorhome — all in this issue.

Drivers could see motorhome and campervan rule in England scrapped

Scarborough Town Council has proposed reconsidering an overnight parking ban for motorhomes and campervans on the town's seafront. The council states the trial ban, implemented by North Yorkshire Council due to complaints, has displaced vehicles into residential areas, causing new issues with noise, waste, and parking. It argues for a controlled parking scheme on Marine Drive to address the problem.
