What the hell is happening at Home Depot? Between the Mexican workers, cleanup trucks, and now there’s rvs parked everywhere it’s frustrating as hell to shop there. I get hit up for money, work, and if I need anything recycled all in like 20 feet to the front door. There were people making fires and cooking in the damn parking lot this morning. Wtf.

These are RVs people have made their homes. This is what our world is coming to. As the gap between rich and poor widens folks will get creative in this free country we live in. Basic necessities are covered in these houses on wheels.

Some might be but a lot of them have decided the tax payer and society provide enough to not work . Fuck the citys and buisness that allow the rest of us to have to put up with it.

Agreed. The USA has the biggest middle class of any country in the world by x fold.

Nothing to do with the wealth gap, everything to do with not wanting to be a productive member of our society. There is allllllll kinds of help out there for whatever ails those folks, but they have to want it and to do the work. There comes that damn W word again that everyone hates.

Fuk those bums and fuk the politicians that continue to enable them to spread their filth all over SoCal.

They can squat on your street corner with no penalties, but heaven forbid you change your hot water heater without a permit and inspection....

They've been all over the streets at my work in Orange for years now. I was talking with a couple of OPD cops when that little town was in the river bed 18 months ago and they basically told me they were told not to harass nor cite them for any parking violations. We've had one guy on our plant cul-de-sac for about a year now.
I have been to my local Walmart in Buena Park on weekends and there are RV's everywhere. Also I've noticed groups (old and young) gathering with foldout chairs, food and drinks. Just having a good time but just seems weird.
It's only going to get worse i would imagine.

I've decided the weather is a factor...
We get seasonal homeless. Too cold right now, so we may get a few "snowbirds" from Flag. Come summer, we se the Phoenix losers make the treck. Always in the business lots...

Get this . . . i was at a greenbelt by my house . . . I noticed bums climbing these giant trees.
I look closer and the fuckers have built a giant tree house up there, complete w/ a pulley system! They are hoisting up their bikes, shopping carts . . . all kinds of shit! Couldn't believe it. I called the non-emergency PD # and they didn't do shit. I'm gonna take some pics w/ my camera, it's unbelievable.

You think homelessness is bad now. Wait until February when all these people start to get the boot from failing to pay the deferment payment on the homes they’ve haven’t paid for since April 2020. It’s going to be a Shit Show !!!

Why do you think the push of "Tiny homes" the reason isn't cool, anyone who thinks living in a box and typically not owning the land is cool is full of crap.

Its a push to convince people living in a box is the new cool thing when in fact its called the "Have nots."

Catch a Bobcat, put it in a box, mark the box doughnuts and hook it to the hoist.

I haven’t see that shit here in Pa but we don’t have commiefornia weather either. Question- if those assholes are camping out in a private businesses parking lot, why can’t that business just have their shit towed away?
Put up signs- “2 hour max parking” if needed.

As for the permit to change a hot water heater (or anything like that) goes, that’s an easy problem to fix. Don’t fucken tell them- be like nike/ just do it.

i think in this instance its private property and why does homedepot allow it ? First time a person is assaulted i hope they sue the shit out of homedepot for encouraging it . This shit does not seam to happen at lowes .

Because its “cool” to get all government freebies and then support your nomad lifestyle with Youtube money. Tiny House, Nomadic Adventures, blah blah blah. Its the new Hobo. Aint going anywhere. Cops want nothing to do with it. Its a rolling biohazard waste bucket and tow yards say “hell no”. The only thing we csn hope is the nashville bombing brings some more attraction to shitboxes randomly parked in our streets.

I’ve actually seen the same thing. People living in trees. Evolution is in a hard reverse.

They harass customers in the parking lot. Leave a mess and trash all over. Make the area look shitty. Store looses money because customers go to other stores. Affect housing prices. Houses are expensive but could be more expensive if the area doesn't have motorhomes parked everywhere.
I had one guy just help himself to loading my stuff in my truck after I told him no and then demanded I pay him $5. They do this shit to women and are aggressive.

I have never experienced what you are describing, and was referring to the R-V's that park/camp out at the spots as far away from the entrance as possible. This what I have encountered and never had anything close to what you are describing.

If they are parking on HD's property? Just a Thought?

Is Everything other than this issue "Clean" in your City?
The problem is you give and inch, they take a mile. Once they let one RV setup, the word gets around and you’ll eventually have 30. Then come the the thefts and activity that surround the homeless camps.
nope

Anybody see the slab city on the way in to Havasu lately off the 95? Came back this week, holy shit! At what point do they continue to let the shit piles squat and fill that area?

Then it is HD's place to deal with it.
