If you call out the cops to do a "welfare check" on that guy with a bad back and scruffy hair living in a van in the gym parking lot,
You are the problem.
Stop.
Anything he is facing only gets worse when he can't have a few weeks to get his shit together without being forced to move or worse, interact with the apparatus of oppression.
If someone is living in a van, they know that parking lot is not legally safe to park on for more than a day.
They know you neighbours in your fancy SUVs and gated community houses don't feel comfortable with the evidence of poverty so close by.
If they had a better option, they'd already be there.
The cops are never a better option.

It’s been a day, I’ve been driving a van moving the youngest across town to his first rental, thinking about all the families everywhere holding together in terrible circumstances through real loss. We’re humans, we love in clans and kin, born and chosen, and we can’t all live together always. Also, in all the hefting of furniture my finger got between a heavy thing and a van door, and now I’m watching cricket in my empty nest listening to music and my fingernail is throbbing, and I’m dreaming of #vanlife.

Ah god this van conversion thing is too much. It's like doing an apartment conversion but way WAY nerdier and simultaneously so much smaller in scale. I can see so many opportunities for wiring, sensors, and Home Assistant. #VanLife #HomeAutomation #HomeAssistant https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GKw3_nrjL9U

@luke begs the question, what is the best messaging and social media for #vanLife? How often do you want to digitally connect to people next to you when you're away from the internet?

There were 88 of us at #NoKings La Paz County #Arizona this morning: no hecklers, no noticeable provacateurs, and a nice, diverse crowd.

I didn't take pictures, but there will be plenty on Facebook and (I hope) in the Desert Messenger or on Rain's Substack.

Be it ever so humble, there's no place like #quartzsite

After visiting Oravský hrad we drove to Národný park Malá Fatra | Malá Fatra National Park for the popular Jánošíkove diery hike, a series of three interconnected loops that incorporate ladders & platforms transiting several gorges. With only enough daylight to complete two loops (our “turn around” alarm had 4min spare!) we found the meadowed sections of the 8km/ 3h rtn hike more appealing for some variety (📷1&2); saw deer in the woods.

We then broke one of our #vanlife rules: Don’t arrive on pitch after dark. We ended up bailing on our initial choice—after taking an unpaved road with poor visibility, tight corners, steep angles, vague parking directions & new charges.

Next morning from Súľov-Hradná under overcast skies we accessed the Súľovské skaly | Súľov Rocks nature trail. A steep climb leads to the Gotická brána | Gothic Gate conglomerate formation (📷3). In our haste to pass a large, slow-moving group we missed the turning to the ruins of Súľovský hrad | Súľov Castle; the trail decending from here was poorly maintained & outright dangerous. Once back in the village we could zoom in on what little remains of the medieval rock castle, built late 13th/ early 14th C. & plundered for stone to build local houses after its destruction in the 18th C. (📷4). 6km/ 2.5h rtn to pitch.

Have you ever thought about living in a van because the economy has been wrecked by boomers who own all the housing? Ever thought about that van being electric? I lived in a tiny electric van for 3 years. Here is everything good, bad, and on my todo list. #VanLifehttps://philsturgeon.com/living-in-a-tiny-electric-van-for-three-years/
