    This has been going on for nearly a decade already. Probably two decades now

    As homelessness continues to grow, so does the number of those living in their vehicles.

    Are there rules about keeping all your crap within the confines of your vehicle (at night | on weekdays | during street sweeping) at all?

    I find the sea of detritus present in these camps - seemingly right after the first resident shows up - is a huge factor in the public seeing them as risky and dangerous.

    Every single media story on homeless campers is jammed with shot after lingering shot showing a carpet of junk covering everything; and while it’s neat to set up some deck chairs in front of the Winnebago, I’d love to see some process or policy that keeps everyone’s shit either bottled up in their hard tents periodically or moved toward the sorter and recycler.

    It’d help promote the “campers are just people and not the rubbish of society” idea that we know in our brains but need to also feel in our hearts.

      I’d wait to see if an official process is necessary. People self govern pretty well when they need to. If there’s a problem person other people can deal with them.
