Local laws affecting vehicle-dwellers
Some localities, lawfully or otherwise, restrict RV- and van-life. It may be in the RVdweller's best interest to vote with their feet and deprive those localities of their economic impact.
After Martin v. City of Boise in 2019 the approach of ordinances started shifting somewhat for states in the 9th Circuit.1) That ruling
recognized the right for unsheltered individuals to sleep in public when shelter is not available. The ruling allows for reasonable restrictions on when and where people can camp on public property if no other shelter is available.
2)
In City of Grants Pass v. Johnson, 2024, ruled that “civil and criminal penalties for camping on public land do not constitute cruel and unusual punishment of homeless people”. Anti-'dweller laws have increased significantly since then, sometimes explicitly mentioning the SCOTUS decision.
