People living in RVs count as homeless?
Homeless doesn't necessarily mean sleeping under a bridge. You can be crashing at a friend's place and still be homeless if you don't have a home of your own to go back to. An illegally parked RV with no mailing address doesn't count as a home for most purposes.
But how many of those people would consider themselves homeless? RV shit is a total fucking lifestyle for a lot of people.
It's not a lifestyle if it's not by choice. Try finding a job without an address. The people that do it as a "lifestyle" are usually just wealthy turds or social media dweebs larping as happy families on the road despite their kids being obviously miserable
Well... Yeah. That's why I asked how many of them consider themselves homeless? Obviously some are forced to but then there's some people who just really fucking like RVs?
I would guess that most of them consider themselves homeless. Especially if they're living in those makeshift tent cities. Either way, they are homeless if they don't have an address.
Everyone in this area mentioned in the above comment is in the former group. None are in the latter group.
