Safe parking spaces for those who live in vehicles is a good thing.

This story is so similar to the one posted just 2 days ago: "As Mountain View plans to expand safe parking, advocates say more space is needed for commuter vehicles", Web Link

I'm very glad to see safe parking expanded in MV. This kind of compassion is what I love about the citizens who live here.

I never understood why one would need to live out of an RV in Mountain View if they have a commuter vehicle. Couldn’t they just…commute? From a place they can actually afford to park their RV?

@SalsaMusic, many arguments have been put forward over the past few years about the need for housing near jobs. That is supposedly why the state is forcing MV to increase our housing supply by over 30%, more than any other town of our size.

If it is a hardship for high-wage workers to commute to their jobs, isn't it also a hardship for low-wage workers too?

We don't have enough affordable housing here, which is why people are living in their RV's. To expect these people to commute while we build tons of expensive market-rate units for high wage workers ... isn't that a bit hypocritical?

Thanks @Leslie of Cuesta Park neighborhood. My thoughts also.

(only "... isn't that a bit illogical?")

Space permitting, larger companies should consider providing 'in-house' housing for their employees directly on the company grounds.
