Two US conflicts: Florida park bans sale of old homes, San Diego fines RV dwellers
Original source: AOL.com

In Brief

Yankee Traveler park in Largo, Florida, banned resale of homes built in 1984 or earlier, affecting 44 owners. In San Diego, RV dwellers formed a union and protested fines of up to $170 per night for overnight parking.

Florida: ban on resale of old homes

Yankee Traveler RV park in Largo, Florida, for residents 55+, introduced a rule prohibiting resale of homes built in 1984 or earlier. Owners can only rent them out or remove them from the park for sale. Resident Jim Nelson said 44 people risk losing their entire investment. Management says the measure maintains neighborhood quality, as old structures require frequent maintenance. Moving a mobile home is difficult and costly, and alternative lots are scarce.

San Diego: protests against overnight parking fines

On February 10, 2026, RV dwellers in San Diego formed a union and protested at City Hall. They claim fines of up to $170 per night deprive them of basic necessities. According to protesters, some households have accumulated over $4,000 in fines. Authorities cite a legal parking lot opened in June 2025 with services, but protesters say it is inaccessible due to fuel costs or health issues. The parties have gone to court to resolve the dispute.

San Diego RV parking crackdown leaves homeless residents with mounting fines

San Diego's enforcement of an overnight parking ban for oversized vehicles has resulted in hundreds of tickets for homeless residents living in RVs. The city resumed the crackdown in July after opening a safe parking lot, but few use it due to costs and access issues. Homeless advocates argue the enforcement violates a 2024 court settlement requiring the city to provide a viable alternative. Fines for violations increased by 54% to $173 in August.
