OP said they were having trouble with bathrooms and peeing in the street.


Ugh. No. They need to find a shelter or a campground to go to. They can't be pooping and peeing on a residential street like that. That's a health hazard for everyone around them.


Additionally OP said garbage is a problem.


Indeed. I really don't understand how people can seriously claim they are "not causing any trouble" and call her a deplorable jerk for wanting them to move elsewhere after OP reported this in one of her first posts.

I hope all the judgmental posters are regularly volunteering at homeless shelters and inviting homeless families to their Christmas dinners. Otherwise I don't believe that you would want to live with this situation.


I live in an RV and I judge those who stay in one place for weeks and litter. They destroy it for those who stay occasionally and move on. I don't want to be in your neighborhood anyway, I just had to be there for whatever reason, like visiting friends or relatives. At the same time I hate cities that have "no oversized vehicle parking rules" and I live seeing people living in their smaller vehicles there, moving every day from street to street.

OP here: what do you mean by that? Who do you suggest I contact?

Where do they pee and poop?

Well, I wonder how that RV will affect you or your neighbor's home values if someone opts to sell. If they agree to it, if I were you, I would offer to pay to have the RV towed to, like, any other area. Perhaps some of the prior posters are willing to offer up a parking spot.

I live on a block where all the neighbors (including me) are hesitant to make it more difficult for someone who is clearly less fortunate than us (we have had multiple discussions about this). I have been hesitant to call the police as it looks like they have not done anything illegal. I do think though, if I were in this situation, I may have moved around (and I do acknowledge that I can never really put myself in their shoes). The reason I have waited this long to do anything about this is that expectation- but I am thinking this may never happen (I am not even sure if the van can move at this point). I may call the station and ask for advice from the police without filing a complaint. thanks for your input.

So, OP is supposed to be more concerned about the strangers in the car than for her family?

I'm a parent with little kids. They come first regardless of how much my heart bleeds for others who aren't as fortunate. But PP this is really throwing judgment on someone when you aren't in their shoes.


Right. The only difference between a bleeding heart liberal and a trumpster deplorable is hypocrisy.


oh ok. thanks for that wise observation
