Palo Alto city leaders on Monday came up with a multi-prong approach to address residents’ and business owners’ concerns over people living in RVs and other homelessness issues.
The City Council approved a plan to address safety and security concerns with the following actions: exploring an RV buyback program; removing any inoperable RVs and trailers; working to secure more safe parking; outlawing “vanlording,” the act of renting RVs on public space; and increasing street sweeping and signage.
The action on RVs could cost the city up to $6.5 million over the next two years.
