Reply to comment by _ism_ in Is Vanlife safe in Springfield for a 21yoF? by [deleted]

We need safe overnight parking lots specifically for vehicle dwellers. I’ve seen YouTube videos about that sort of thing popping up in larger metros. Not sure the NIMBYs would let it happen though, but you’d think it would be better to have one or more safe spaces rather than people parked on random streets. 🤷‍♂️

We specifically fought for this during covid when shelters were closed and got very much nowhere.

That's been one of the homeless/unhoused biggest - for lack of a better term - rallying cries. Get people in one area to administer assistance. The city of Springfield is the NIMBY in this case.
