Palo Alto bans 'vanlords' amid spike in RV dwellers

Palo Alto has approved urgency ordinances to ban unattached trailers and prohibit renting out RVs parked on public streets, a practice termed 'vanlording'. The City Council voted 6-1 following complaints about traffic and sanitation issues in areas with high RV concentration. Enforcement for oversized vehicles begins after signage is installed, while the vanlord ban is effective immediately with fines of $500 per violation. The action coincides with a reported increase in the city's unsheltered population, 76% of whom live in vehicles.

Palo Alto bans RV rentals for long-term housing on streets

Palo Alto has banned public parking of detached trailers and prohibited renting out RVs for long-term housing on city streets. The policy targets landlords, not residents, and is paired with plans for interim housing by early 2026. With a median home price of $3.5 million, vehicle living has become a last resort for some, though it lacks basic amenities.

Sarasota boy with leukemia receives camper through Make-A-Wish

Andrew Ventura, a 4-year-old from Sarasota, Florida, received a camper from Make-A-Wish Southern Florida during a visit to Camping World in Pinellas Park. Andrew, who has leukemia, wished for a camper after watching the cartoon Peppa Pig, which helped him pass time during cancer treatment. The organization said Andrew has spent much of his life indoors due to his illness and the COVID-19 pandemic, and the camper will allow his family to make outdoor memories together.
