the purpose of a system is what it does
It doesn’t matter that we have a law because they don’t care. If the police chase them off they just wait a few weeks and come back. Technically they have to show movement every day, but that would mean that police would have to go out there every day to check on them.
I don’t live in a downtown area, but I do live in the city so there aren’t really any benches around TO lay on.
You know what would fix that?
Giving those people a safe and secure place to park their RV that isn’t the highway.
Again, we have those places. The people choose not to use them.
People usually don’t decide to do things like that for shits and giggles, so lets’ try and empathize with them and see if we can find some rational reasons for what they do.
Maybe they can’t afford the rent at an RV park. Maybe the rules there are so restrictive that the RV park is unusable to them. A lot of jurisdictions have restrictions on how long someone can rent space before they get legal protections or require additional insurance, so a lot of short-stay places like hotels and RV parks put a cap of a week or two for a stay.
Have you tried talking to these people? You can learn a lot about why people act the way they do by just asking them. Most people are rational enough that they have reasons for doing the things they do, and they’ll probably be happy to tell you if you’re friendly and treat them like people.
