House Bill 1365 was filed in January. It prohibits camping or sleeping on public property without a permit.

Such properties must have restrooms, running water, security, and access to health care for mental and physical health. Also under the provision the specified areas may not negatively impact local businesses.

We’re not homeless, we’re houseless! By choice or by circumstance we are living in our vehicles. Don’t worry about us – it can be a very good life.

Anything that affects us as vehicle-dwellers is probably on topic.

rules of engagement

  • be civil
  • use descriptive thread titles. Pro tip: “Help” or “Question” are not descriptive titles.
  • old-timers: assume people are different and have different needs, preferences, budgets, and use cases
  • newbies: demonstrate effort and willingness to learn; you’ll need it on the road anyhow. Links have been added below to help get you started. When asking question state your “use case” (what you are trying to accomplish); we are terrible guessers.
  • tire-kickers: yes, we’ve heard that “in a van down by the river” joke. It was hi-larious in 1993.
