It's obscene that with all the wealth in Santa Clara County, this is an issue. All brains and no heart.

With the wealth of Santa Clara County??? You put an RV in your driveway then. Guaranteed you want the government to fix the issue but you would crinch having dripping sewage fall on your driveway and having multiple tennants in an a rv. It has become a dump in MV. I PAID OVER A MILLION DOLLARS for a home, pay exhorbant taxes and look out the front of my house to see a village of RVs. I walk by and it smells of urine. Get them out of MV!!

When did mtn view become a place we welcome rvs? Go by rengstorff or eagle parks. Becoming a ghetto. I caught one guy dumping a bucket of urine in the sink at rengstorff park. The sink!!! Now the city is going to give a dump location. Great!!bring more in. More handouts wont fix the issue. You are feeding birds and more will come.

"Get them out of MV!!"

Get the people who caused this out of Mountain View. Google over the past 6-7 years has grown far beyond what Mountain View can accommodate, and to make matters even worse, the jobs they create don't go to Mountain View or even Bay Area residents, but to people brought in from far and wide. This is what has created the housing crisis. And our city council has not only allowed it, they've encouraged and enabled it. The same thing has been happening all over the Bay Area in the years following the mortgage crisis. Let's go after the perps, not their victims.

I'm quite confused, Anke. How are housing prices rising here if the people working these jobs aren't Mountain View residents? Where do you think the employees in North Bayshore live? They're most likely Mountain View residents, and almost certainly Bay area residents.

It's so expensive in Mountain View that nobody lives here anymore.

Lots of comments are saying the RVs are the problem. The RVs are not the problem. A clean empty RV, even an old one, would not cause the uproar evident here. People are angry at the homeless people for living on the street, and not having anyplace to dump their sewage. But it sounds pretty heartless to say "I hate homeless people because they are poor and have no resources", so we blame the RVs. Who could those homeless people be? Would it be worse if your barista was one of them? Or an employee at Home Depot? Would it be acceptable to hate them if the homeless person had a drug problem, or untreated mental illness? Who is an acceptable target for hatred of homeless people? The next time you read something about the RV problems in Mountain View, try replacing the word RV with "homeless family", or "evicted Mountain View resident".

"Where do you think the employees in North Bayshore live? They're most likely Mountain View residents, and almost certainly Bay area residents."

But they weren't before they had those jobs. They moved here from across the country or overseas for the purpose of taking those jobs. The resulting population explosion put tremendous pressure on housing prices that locals (like our baristas and Home Depot employees) can't keep up with.

Oh, honey, that still means they're residents. Maybe you'd like to Build The Wall around Mountain View to keep out the undesirables?

My goodness, I managed to really strike a nerve, didn't I? And with an unremarkable comment, no less. One that is very simple and obvious and has been said many times before by many people.

Have I triggered you? Does it hit too close to home hearing your xenophobia related back to "Build The Wall?"

Let our local tech companies take care of this... They're responsible. Tech products and services have slashed jobs left and right and it's not getting any better.

It's amazing how unwillingness to actually solve the problem can generate a whole bunch of pointless idiotic activity. What this place needs is more housing, a whole lot more. Those million dollar houses need to be torn down and replaced with 15-storey condo complexes. When there's plenty of housing, there are very few homeless.
