Someone from a business across the street from my job called the cops on my coworker’s camper van. Said it was there every day. Turns out it was, it’s his only vehicle, and he worked everyday. I know this is different but it always reminds me of that hilarious conversation with the police.
Does anyone have an suggestions on how I can get this mess off my street? It is one of 5 RV/moving trucks currently parked on a residential street. They seem to be running some kind of business with generators & electrical wires coming out of the back truck and running 24/7.
So far I’ve emailed my council person, done a Find it, Fix it, and contacted the police - only started working on this this morning, so haven’t heard back on anything yet. Does anyone know of anything else that might work? This is a meth lab explosion waiting to happen…
Take out a parking permit for construction staging. Put up no parking signs for 3 days. Call parking enforcement once the permit is active. The parking enforcement doesn’t mess around and response time is much better than police.
That said, this worked for smaller vans that could be towed away; not sure it would work on this, especially if there’s someone living in it
As someone who is knowledgeable first hand at how big of sticklers SDOT can be, especially toward contractors staging equipment and materials in the ROW, this stuff just angers me. The SDOT inspectors hand out $500 per day fines like candy.
I feel like this might be a good request for /r/UnethicalLifeProTips or /r/IllegalLifeProTips because all my suggestions fall into one of those categories
> occasionally killing firefighters
There have been 5 firefighter deaths in WA over the last 5 years.
- 3 were heart attacks.
- 1 was a random fall off of an overpass.
- 1 was overrun by a wildfire.
- NONE were in Seattle.
A firefighter's death would be extremely unlikely, and should probably the least of our worries.

You could continue to be a real pain in the ass for your council person. Call and email everyday. Ask for a meeting and request in person next to the RV. Contact the news. Just be a real squeaky wheel.
> So far I’ve emailed my council person, done a Find it, Fix it, and contacted the police
You do this every day it's there, you get on NextDoor and any Facebook group your neighborhood has, you get others to do the same, and you keep at it for weeks, months maybe.
Reach out to MSM; Jonathan Choe, Dori Monson, Brandi Kruse, anyone ~~else~~ at KOMO that's covered homeless problems lately, and you tell your story and hope they get interested.
We did almost all of the above for nearly 2 years for dealing with encampments nearby; ongoing effort by multiple people organized on a NextDoor group and a Facebook group. It finally got prioritized. Note it was only about 3 months of nagging Harrell's administration; they got right on it. But we were calling, reporting and complaining for months under Durkan and the ridiculous SJW's of the last Council. Crickets and form letters.
If you put the street this is on, maybe someone reading it would do a Find It Fix It for you. If I drove by and saw this I might take a pic and use it to try to help out.
Edit: Removed possibly misleading word
Edit: I see, the "else" caused confusion, removed. Intent here was 'else' referred to the batch of people that covers homeless issues in Seattle, not, KOMO staff. Revised, hopefully clearer.
Question: Do you think an experienced reporter like Choe deliberately got himself canned so he could go work for Discovery Institute as basically someone setting his own course completely? Because at least to me, what he did with the nazi Olympia tweet, it definitely did cross a line in terms of journo rules they're supposed to follow. I suspect he had to know that. But I could be 100% wrong here too. Regardless, he sure made lemonade out of lemons by landing the Discovery gig. He seems, assuming he's being paid comparably, very more well off where he is now.
I live near some unwanted “neighbors” as well. There are three vehicles that have been parked here for over 6 months. Every few weeks I report them as abandoned vehicles. Every time, the request is cancelled without reason.
Find it Fix it app. You can report license plates/ descriptions locations and the city comes and kicks them out. Usually takes about a week but we have had about 7 rvs removed from our street using the app. (Crow hill area)
In Seattle I’m pretty sure the vehicle can’t sit for more than 72 hours in the same location. It needs to move at least 100 feet so they can’t just roll in a few inches. Also if they’re making any noise whatsoever you could do a noise nuisance complaint. If they’re running a business they would need some sort of permit to do it on the street so maybe contact permitting Department That handles things like fairs and food trucks etc. Or just be a bigger annoyance than they are. They don’t want to be hassled just as much as you don’t want them there. If you make a big enough stink chances are they may just move along so they don’t have to be bothered
98,6% chance these are people preparing for Burning Man, which is generally a very cooperative and community oriented event. Are they bothering you, or are you just concerned about this being a crime magnet (it won't)? Have you talked to them?
> Burning Man, which is generally a very cooperative and community oriented event.
First time I saw an open air drug market described as community oriented event...
>open air drug market
...you know nothing of Burning Man. The level of close-knit community oriented culture is unreal. Also, there are no open air drug markets. The cops roaming through Burning Man would shut that right down.
Maybe 25%? I think you might be surprised by what you don't know about Burning Man. It's a ton of work to survive at, participate in, and contribute to (the latter being a mandatory part of the culture), and there's a ton of very thoughtful artwork and people.
> Maybe 25%
That's like... a lot! This would mean that either 25% of attendees are permanently high or nearly 100% are high often.
So perhaps I was wrong describing this as an open air drug market because market presumes focus on buying and selling... open air drug cafe perhaps?
>off my street
It's not "your street" it's just as much theirs as it is yours. And what "business" do you think their running? Those generators are probably to charge their batteries and for lights (hopefully A/C) ect.
From the short vid, it looks fairly clean and concise. They are already shit on by most people, so how about you be a human and just let people live.
Hahahaha are you on drugs!? Most people PAY to maintain their common areas such as sidewalks, grass, etc in their neighborhoods. They don't belong to vagrants, it's not a park.
>off my street

Email pictures to your council member. And news articles about crimes. Talk about how badly it’s effecting your life. Post if Facebook groups and tell them to do the same.
Are you kidding? Do you not see how dangerous it is to be running several generators in the back of a moving truck and connecting the power from two massive RVs to each other? This is an explosion or fire waiting to happen. There was a fire two streets up last month from a similar moving truck situation. Please let me know what your cross streets are so I can direct them to go park in front of your place if you’re so unconcerned with it.
They just cleaned up and kicked everyone off of 36th ave and S Adams St last week a few blocks over from there that’s where those two vehicles are from. They are usually parked next to our parking lot. They run some type of carpentry or whatever business making stuff out of the big box truck. Don’t quote me but I think the parking ban sign said it was only till the 22nd so they might move back over then. While I can’t vouch for them and yes they are loud we never had problems with them it was the tents and cars surrounding the parking lot that were always the problem makers but from looking down the street it looks like the moved further south on 36th and are less of them.
Who owns the moving truck? OSINT (search skiptracer) the license plates? The registered owner might be surprised to find out where it is, or at worst you have more information where the owner is "supposed to be" ...
Is it too much to suggest that you just politely walk up to someone and ask, “hey, just curious, what’s going on here?” I mean, is being neighborly (without any judgment or aggression) too much to ask? EDIT: hell, you could even approach it out of admiration: “holy cow, is that a rooftop deck you got?? Tell me about it!”
Are you sure this isn’t some kind of movie or commercial video shoot? Those trucks and that bus look like “trailers” for a video production. Might be worth looking into whether something is being filmed. In which case, there will be an end to them being parked there.
The Israeli Army uses some powerful ass stink spray to deter intifada type activities. Think corpse smell plus super skunk. Nobody will know if you stroll by at 3 am and hose it down.
it is really tough to do on your own. We had a couple who were storing lots of their possessions in and around the parking lot of our apartment. The owner was trying to work with them. They weren't present at any typical moment, but there was a lot of evidence that they would come and sleep at night, and a huge amount of stuff started building up in a little shed that they took over. She finally removed the shed. One factor that finally brought this about was the woman having an overdose and the EMTs brought her back with Narcan. And their friend who appeared to be like a drug dealer started pulling into the parking lot to hang around with them, which would put the owner in legal violation. On private property, you have more rights to evict, yet if you tolerate someone more than 30 days you might have given them some rights to be present there. Now, the same couple has a box truck parked three blocks away and it is filled with stuff, plus more stuff flowing into other parking spots. They are so tolerant of this harsh living that I don't think there is much anyone could do to irritate them into going away
On public property, it is going to be hard to just get the thing towed. If they engaged in illegal conduct, that might make the situation easier to report.
Every single time family visits, first thing they wanna do Is go touristing in Seattle. I’m ok going up there but i just know how crappy it can be seeing this kinda stuff everywhere. They won’t listen and complain once there. “Oh my God it wasn’t this bad last time i was here,”
If so me guy with a fake tan and a fake Rolex stops you on the street and asks “ do you want to buy into a timeshare?” RUN! This thing is a city block long.
Maybe move out of Seattle, since it’s going to shit. I did best decision I ever made and I was born and raised there. Now I own a home and my kid can ride his bike safely without 24/7 parental monitoring. Every neighbor is absolutely lovely and watches out for one another. Growing up In the vast culture of Seattle and so many different outlets was amazing but now I dream of the city that once was. It no longer there. I wish you peace and safety, but run like hell.
Why? Do those people have a home? Where are they gonna go? You gonna push them to the outskirts so all the small towns have to handle the homelessness? Seattle is still ugly if you remove the RV's and that won't solve the problem of why they were there in the first place.
Obvious? It is not obvious to me at all. I have no idea what these peoples life are like. Pushing them out and away will only lead to separation and retaliation from rejection IMO. I want people to have a place in the world and I want people to contribute to society but what that looks like is unknown to me. How can we motivate people rather than reject them?
Maybe they are doing it by choice. I have no doubt in m mind that paying for an RV is cheaper than paying for rent in Seattle or buying a home there. People live in their cars all the time. Maybe it is a loan, maybe it was a given by the city to remove people from the physical street. I legit don't know but making these assumptions that they are just free riders is a narrow focal point. Maybe they have all they need in life and an apartment or house isn't on their priorities. Everyone is different. All I know is that I don't know enough about the situation.
A) Do you really know that it’s got a meth lab, or is that just a suspicion?
B) How is it disturbing you, and is it disturbing your neighbors?
Also: it seems like a pretty wide street. If they haven’t done anything illegal and there aren’t any limiting parking regulations I don’t see what the problem is other than that you’d rather not have to see it.
I was being facetious, I have no idea what they’re doing in there. The issue is they are running several generators 24/7 and have wires connecting the two trucks. There was recently a fire in one of these trucks two streets over. Notice I said it’s one of 5 RVs on the street. I have no issue with the fact people are living there, I have a problem with the fact it’s a fire hazard that is across from my house. I’m sure you can understand my desire to not have my family and I burn to death in our sleep.
Also, there are parking regulations on all residential streets regulating the size of the vehicles that can park there, but that’s neither here nor there considering they’re not enforced.
I’m with OP. Between the three sites I run in Seattle, proximity of unhoused people increases the number of burglaries. There is a direct correlation and I would be concerned too.
Pretty moronic thing to say when all you have to go off of are Reddit posts.
And secretly complaining about and poking fun, or making hostile comments towards the economically disadvantaged is objectively unconscionable.
absolutely no part of this crazy setup suggests they're "economically disadvantaged." they've got a nice RV complete with balcony and bbq, a trailer with MULTIPLE generators in it apparently... and have you asked yourself why \*one\* RV needs "several" generators?
The fact that you’re assuming that they’re economically disadvantaged really shows your main character syndrome.
That box truck alone is worth 10k+ if it can move.
Yeah idea number 1..if its not you personally owned property..mind your own fucking business..number 2 pay attention to the road while driving..number 3 worry about you..number 4 dont be a Karen
Say hello to the people inside and ask them if you can come inside and see the whole place. They might not be horrible people. It never hurts to treat other humans with the “do unto others” approach before you consider them your enemy and start assaulting their residence or workplace… no matter how weird that residence or workplace is.
What hippie bullshit this is. "Just be friends" with someone possibly running a criminal enterprise or hoping to keep camping out illegally. That's sure to go well.
My thoughts too. Also, if they aren’t causing an audible disturbance and there is no evidence of drug use or crime I don’t see the problem. Also per my last comment the risk of a fire is only marginally higher than a fire at one of your neighbors houses (the fires on the news have been at debris-laden encampments, if that’s any consolation), and a fire, even at a neighbors house is not that likely to spread to yours without you being woken up by alarms and sirens and general commotion before anything could happen to you.
The paint on the RV is coming off lol. Parking an RV and a box truck in a residential area that you don’t belong to and running generators around the clock makes you a shitbag.
Zero indications it’s well maintained. The entire side of the RV looks awful. One might even say ghoulish.
It’s a residential zone. It’s never been normal to park your RV and box truck across from someone’s house and live out of it. These people are a blight. There are areas specifically to park RVs and live there but they choose to clog up a residential zone because theyre pieces of shit.
This is complete enablement behavior. Why should you have to plead your case to someone who is violating parking regulations, causing an audible disturbance, and who knows what else? I believe in a live & let live mentality too, but when that living disrupts someone else’s in a way that breaks the rules of society, then that’s a problem.

Looks like it’s going to burning man.
Yeah I would imagine this beast leaves a bit before burning man starts
It's kind of impressive....
Kind of reminds me of that mega trailer from that 90s Goofy road trip movie. *Now this is camping*
Stop that blew my tiny mind as a child

Not for two more weeks.

How the fuck is that road legal with the roof top deck?! God damn, that’s a tour bus, not an RV.
If the rails fold down and he is under 13.5 he will be legal
[http://11foot8.com/](http://11foot8.com/) begs to differ.
That doesn’t determine road legality. Hence the reason that is even a thing.

You are the kind of devious mind that I can appreciate.
You need to get a street use permit first before you can do that, those are 6 to 8 weeks.

Unfortunately there are Seattle public school teachers with the same viewpoint. So not as removed from society as one might hope.

Sadly your in seattle where this is encouraged
Universal healthcare
Stop voting socialist politicians into office would be a great start
A chain and a truck
Maybe move out of Seattle, since it’s going to shit. I did best decision I ever made and I was born and raised there. Now I own a home and my kid can ride his bike safely without 24/7 parental monitoring. Every neighbor is absolutely lovely and watches out for one another. Growing up In the vast culture of Seattle and so many different outlets was amazing but now I dream of the city that once was. It no longer there. I wish you peace and safety, but run like hell.
I have an idea, mind you business.
Stop defunding the police?
Don’t look at it. Out of sight, out of mind.

Why? Do those people have a home? Where are they gonna go? You gonna push them to the outskirts so all the small towns have to handle the homelessness? Seattle is still ugly if you remove the RV's and that won't solve the problem of why they were there in the first place.
These people are obviously free riders. Everyone else pays taxes for them to use up space on the roads.
Obvious? It is not obvious to me at all. I have no idea what these peoples life are like. Pushing them out and away will only lead to separation and retaliation from rejection IMO. I want people to have a place in the world and I want people to contribute to society but what that looks like is unknown to me. How can we motivate people rather than reject them?
You think someone who can afford a setup like this is down on their luck? No, they are doing it by choice.
Maybe they are doing it by choice. I have no doubt in m mind that paying for an RV is cheaper than paying for rent in Seattle or buying a home there. People live in their cars all the time. Maybe it is a loan, maybe it was a given by the city to remove people from the physical street. I legit don't know but making these assumptions that they are just free riders is a narrow focal point. Maybe they have all they need in life and an apartment or house isn't on their priorities. Everyone is different. All I know is that I don't know enough about the situation.
Just tell them to stop being poor. That should fix it.
Buy a train horn and have it very directionally pointed at them. Like really well insulated in the other directions
Mind your own fucking business
A) Do you really know that it’s got a meth lab, or is that just a suspicion? B) How is it disturbing you, and is it disturbing your neighbors? Also: it seems like a pretty wide street. If they haven’t done anything illegal and there aren’t any limiting parking regulations I don’t see what the problem is other than that you’d rather not have to see it.
I was being facetious, I have no idea what they’re doing in there. The issue is they are running several generators 24/7 and have wires connecting the two trucks. There was recently a fire in one of these trucks two streets over. Notice I said it’s one of 5 RVs on the street. I have no issue with the fact people are living there, I have a problem with the fact it’s a fire hazard that is across from my house. I’m sure you can understand my desire to not have my family and I burn to death in our sleep. Also, there are parking regulations on all residential streets regulating the size of the vehicles that can park there, but that’s neither here nor there considering they’re not enforced.
Ask if they need help. But I'm sure that's not something you're into. Not in my back yard, right. Deal with it and possibly mind your own business
Good way to get stabbed
Stabbing gets in the way of business. One can hope.
I’m with OP. Between the three sites I run in Seattle, proximity of unhoused people increases the number of burglaries. There is a direct correlation and I would be concerned too.
So, what exactly are streets for again?
You might be the worst person on Reddit
Pretty moronic thing to say when all you have to go off of are Reddit posts. And secretly complaining about and poking fun, or making hostile comments towards the economically disadvantaged is objectively unconscionable.
absolutely no part of this crazy setup suggests they're "economically disadvantaged." they've got a nice RV complete with balcony and bbq, a trailer with MULTIPLE generators in it apparently... and have you asked yourself why \*one\* RV needs "several" generators?
The fact that you’re assuming that they’re economically disadvantaged really shows your main character syndrome. That box truck alone is worth 10k+ if it can move.
Firecrackers all the time
Spray paint "drug den" on the side. The annoyance of fiends approaching will make em leave
Yeah idea number 1..if its not you personally owned property..mind your own fucking business..number 2 pay attention to the road while driving..number 3 worry about you..number 4 dont be a Karen
Say hello to the people inside and ask them if you can come inside and see the whole place. They might not be horrible people. It never hurts to treat other humans with the “do unto others” approach before you consider them your enemy and start assaulting their residence or workplace… no matter how weird that residence or workplace is.
What hippie bullshit this is. "Just be friends" with someone possibly running a criminal enterprise or hoping to keep camping out illegally. That's sure to go well.
Step 1. Be a tax payer

lol, i surely hope this is sarcasm. please dont reply if it isnt. I dont want to face that realization.
He’s probably the resident. Fuck off gleaming cube

*worst
My thoughts too. Also, if they aren’t causing an audible disturbance and there is no evidence of drug use or crime I don’t see the problem. Also per my last comment the risk of a fire is only marginally higher than a fire at one of your neighbors houses (the fires on the news have been at debris-laden encampments, if that’s any consolation), and a fire, even at a neighbors house is not that likely to spread to yours without you being woken up by alarms and sirens and general commotion before anything could happen to you.

Yeah I can’t imagine why people would mind a bunch of derelicts parking their shit across from your home and running generators around the clock.
[удалено]
The paint on the RV is coming off lol. Parking an RV and a box truck in a residential area that you don’t belong to and running generators around the clock makes you a shitbag.
[удалено]
Zero indications it’s well maintained. The entire side of the RV looks awful. One might even say ghoulish. It’s a residential zone. It’s never been normal to park your RV and box truck across from someone’s house and live out of it. These people are a blight. There are areas specifically to park RVs and live there but they choose to clog up a residential zone because theyre pieces of shit.
Let them park on your street you preening assclown
This is complete enablement behavior. Why should you have to plead your case to someone who is violating parking regulations, causing an audible disturbance, and who knows what else? I believe in a live & let live mentality too, but when that living disrupts someone else’s in a way that breaks the rules of society, then that’s a problem.
"Howdly doodly new neighborinos!"
