Thanks for the encouragement. Sorry to hear Oregon isn't quite what you want/need; there is always the open road, and you can always come back. Anywhere ... anytime.<BR/><BR/>Happy trails, Urban Vandwellerurban vandwellerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13537100746328669085noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3494059002534751.post-86673714164101853072008-08-24T15:19:00.000-07:002008-08-24T15:19:00.000-07:00I think I may have found the article: http://hpn.a...I think I may have found the article: http://hpn.asu.edu/archives/2001-September/004648.html<BR/><BR/>I think it's easier to just find a spot and move around. I'd rather not "apply" for a spot. I ended up leaving Eugene anyway. I might stick around Oregon for a little bit, but hell if I feel like I know what I'm doing at this stage. Pshhh.

It was a city program to provide an alternative housing solution, so that vandwelling wasn't illegal, but done in an organized mode - vandwellers had a specific place they could park with permission. Not as good as the system in Santa Barbara, CA; but, similar. Hope all is well and if I come across that article, I'll let you know.<BR/><BR/>Cheers, Urban Vandwellerurban vandwellerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13537100746328669085noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3494059002534751.post-61484608822606789922008-08-11T15:34:00.000-07:002008-08-11T15:34:00.000-07:00HEY!

If you can think of where you read the article about safe parking for the van "homeless" (shudder at the characterization) - I'd love to read it. Parking here is pretty stupid-easy, but for obvious reasons I find the topic especially interesting. Thanks for your blog. All the best!

Might check around for something like that or "house sitting". Maybe even some property with for sale signs might be interested in hiring you for your services to keep vandals at bay...... In a new construction area you might try contacting the general contractor, etc...... <BR/>Best wishes!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
