Citing safety concerns, Los Angeles Councilwoman Traci Park presented a motion aimed at tightening regulations on RV sales and leasing in public rights-of-way.
She says the motion is in response to the emerging trend of 'van-lords', people who rent RVs to individuals"These practices capitalize on the vulnerability of our homeless community, reduce available parking, and create significant life safety issues," Park said. Councilwoman Traci Park addressed Venice's homeless crisis, particularly the residents' concerns about RVs being parked on the streets.
She is now asking for an amendment to Los Angeles Municipal Code Section 80.73.1, which currently prohibits reserving any street, parking space or other public space for business activities related to new and used vehicles. The municipal code does not explicitly cover RVs.
