Three years ago, I was in Los Angeles for our 50th high school reunion with two friends. While in L.A., we drove around and visited some old haunts in the South Bay area of L.A. County.
At one point, we found ourselves driving in the Ballona Creek wetlands north of Westchester and LAX. We saw streets lined with parked RVs. They were all bumper to bumper. These weren't vacationers, they people were living in their RVs.
RV Travel has posted an article on a NBC News report that more Americans are living in RVs. After seeing how things were at the Ballona Creek wetlands, I am not at all surprised.
The article (which includes a video) begins with:
This short report from NBC News brings to light something that most of us who travel by RV already know: Many more people are living in RVs these days, not because they want to experience the great American road trip or spend some time with nature. No, they are living in RVs because it’s the only way they can afford to put a roof over their head.
As rents and home prices continue to climb, a growing number of Americans are turning to RVs as full-time homes. For many, it’s less about adventure and more about affordability.
