RV Dwellers Seek to Reopen Lawsuit

If I want to camp in my RV i have to pay $ to go to a state park or other formal campground. How can these people think it is perfectly fine to treat downtown SB like their own free urban campground? They should have to pay $30 a night like they would if they were camping anywhere else.

Then everyone would have to pay $30 a night to park their car on the street.

Agricultural vandalism is up again, and the budget crises is reducing the rural crime task force. Why don't you mobile home folks get a job living in the country helping a working person guard his fields, pumps, engines, tractors and pipe.

Riiiight, shortrees. Some RV dweller is gong to approach a farmer and say he'll guard his field equipment. Either the farmer is going to tell him to eff off or call the sheriff to tell them that a protection racket is taking place.

What color is the sky in your universe?

Riiiight, DBD. Those wealthy RV dwellers can easily fork over $30/night parking fee. After all, they're living hand-to-mouth because it's fun, doncha know.

What color is the sky in your universe?

Please let me know your address SezMe. I'll be by later tonight with my 35' RV. Hope you don't mind me running the generator for a bit. Since I obviously can't afford to pay for anything, you will tell the cops it's ok for me to park in front of your house, right? Oh, and the sky is blue thanks to caring individuals such as yourself.

$900/month rent seems pretty steep for a street parking spot ($30/night)

You can get a nice studio apartment with a kitchen, bathroom and full plumbing for that price.

Is it zoning or regulations that prohibits someone from opening an RV park with modest monthly fees?

Maybe $200/month includes the right to dump your waste, and then charge extra for amenities like spots with water and electricity hookups, etc..

Driving and owning a RV, or any vehicle, is a privilege not a right. Local Govt can regulate roads and parking as they see fit. This case is without merit and is only a scare tactic against the city, go ahead sue away..

Wow CMan, in what sort of tyrannical universe is being able to own property, travel and sleep not an inherent right of being alive?

Driving IS a right, in fact the right to travel is in the Constitution. You should only LOSE that right when you infringe on the rights of others, hurt someone, damage or steal their property.

If I'm tired, I should be able to pull my car over and go to sleep in a parking space. People with larger vehicles should be able to do that as well.. however, they should also have the option of pulling into a private lot and rent a space for the night where they can be protected from criminals and not be harassed by others in the neighborhood. Obviously there is a need for this type of service in this town, so I'm not sure why it isn't available at a reasonable price. I suggested that perhaps the reason was because of zoning or city regulations.

Back to the original topic, rights were not intended to be something that the government grants, they are something that we are inherently born with. When you give the government the ability to grant rights, then you assume they have the ability to take those rights away. That is a dangerous society you describe, one that will end very badly.
