Texas Bill 987 ---- To be voted on soon

[attaboy]

According to a Television discussion this bill will prohibit any over night
parking in any public spot, which includes Walmart's, Cracker Barrels etc.
It is intended as a solution to the homeless in the major cities from living
in their vehicles. But as many laws do RVER's may be collateral damage.

If this is incorrect will some of our Texas friends let us know?

Thanks and happy camping:

We have such a law in our city. So the local WalMart can't allow overnight camping. I know the Home Depot lot has had RVs ticketed in the past.

It's popping up in communities in PA too. One-size fits all approach overlooking the non-offending (I hope).

Just like most all gun laws.

Just like all laws, period. We don't need to make this political.

I think it’s Seattle where a judge ruled that RV’s on public streets are considered to be people’s homes. They are not subject to ticketing or towing.

What a surprise......Seattle

Same in PDX. The homelessness is pervasive! It used to be such a beautiful city. So sad.

They have also ruled that the tent camping homeless can set up tents in city ball fields and city parks and not be forced to move. They have done away with any prosecution of possession of drugs. They have not figured out why spending more money to make them "comfortable" brings more homeless people to the city. Somebody did have an rv brake down in front of a councilmens house and then they raised a stink about it being there. Double standard? lol

Two for the price of one. Causes collateral damage, and it will still be completely ineffective. "If we just make being homeless illegal, there will be no more homeless people!" Brilliant!
