The motion make the sale and leasing of RVs for housing illegal, effectively going after the so-called 'vanlords' who lease RVs to people.
Lopez tells ABC7 he had a job and an apartment and recently lost both. He estimates housing officials walk through the makeshift neighborhood once a week, relocating people based on what they qualify for."I felt like a shelter was kind of an insult," said Lopez. "I mean, it's a place to live but so is this, you know?"
Park has introduced a separate motion, which would regulate RVs around schools, parks and homes. Part of the challenge in deciding where they can't stay is in finding places where they can. "Ultimately, most people should have a job, so they can pay for things, but the way the market value for rent is, even with a job, you couldn't afford it," said Lopez.
