RV Parks?

I see RV rental spaces on Craigslist in the $400-700 range.

There is a tremendous amount of housing, it’s just not where people want to live. The housing crisis should really be reframed as an urban housing crisis.

Agreed. I think one reason people want to live in these places because there's copious amounts of jobs available.

[Overtonwindow]

I don’t think copious jobs are the reason, because we don’t really know that. People only think that, so it drives they’re push to the urban environment.

Also, who are the ones complaining about lack of housing? I’d be willing to guess that it’s predominantly people who can afford housing just fine, they just can’t afford housing where they want to live.

[edmcnulty101]

I respectfully disagree.

I'd be willing to bet there's a direct and significant correlation between number of jobs in a region and housing prices.

Sure zoning is an issue and there's other factors like weather and scenery...but I bet job availability is top of the heap.

RV Parks have very specific requirements which usually disqualify Vans. Also, RV parks aren't usually a community of youngish professionals I was looking for. I think they tilt towards retirees and/or groups not in the professions.
