Berkeley activist proposes permit program to phase out street-parked RVs
Original source: The Berkeley Scanner

Activist Amber Whitson proposes a capped permit program for large vehicles used as shelter on Berkeley streets. The plan involves a time-limited census to establish a finite number, issue permits only to those verified, and reduce the count as people move into housing. Berkeley's Health, Life Enrichment Equity & Community policy committee has voted to send related regulations to the full City Council.

Palo Alto seeks regional solutions for RV parking issue

After months of increased enforcement failed to resolve the problem, Palo Alto's City Council is considering a pilot parking permit program for oversized vehicles. The committee is also convening a regional meeting on April 17 to develop a coordinated response. The number of RVs parked on city streets doubled between 2023 and 2025, with roughly 400 unhoused individuals living in vehicles.

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.

Car converted into mini motorhome for under 1000 euros

YouTuber President Chay built a removable module on his car with two sleeping berths, a mini kitchen, and an air conditioner. Construction took ten days and cost less than $1,000 (about €920). The project, posted on YouTube, has gathered around 7 million views. In France, such conversions require caution: permanent conversion of a vehicle into living quarters must be registered as a VASP, so removable structures remain a compromise.
