So, if you got a parking ticket every 24hrs for $115 then rent would cost about $3450 a month. Probably not bad for the area:coffeedrink:


......or just change spaces before going to bed every night!

Washing "Bessie" once in a while would probably help.

This is pretty common in the Sunset neighborhood of San Francisco. Particularly because you only need to move your car (or RV) for street cleaning once or twice a month depending on the street.

A few years ago I helped my father sell our family's old RV, a 1978 Dodge Class-C 26 footer. It ran like a champ but was ugly as sin. The 20 year old girl that bought it had already finished her bachelor's degree and was planning on living in the RV in SF (with her 2 dogs) while she attended grad school. A couple years ago when I started dating my girlfriend, she was living in Outer Sunset (in an apartment), and nearly every time I drove to her house, I would see my family's old RV, in a slightly different parking spot.

I can't believe he paid 8 grand for that thing!

I showed this article to my GF and she said it read like an Onion article. Very true, even the pics work!

We have them all over the place here in Santa Barbara, on the street and in city lots at the beach.

Funny comment about the liberal West Siders. Exactly, as long as it's not their neighborhood. :jump:

I found a blog several months ago written by a girl that is living in a class c in NYC. It was a pretty entertaining blog, but I can't remember the name of it.
