My brother in law once pulled his VW camper-van into a quiet neighborhood just so he could clean it out and do laundry while on the road, but within minutes a resident called the police on him-- reported someone “setting up camp” in their suburb.
The key is to get a cargo van that looks like some kind of work van, maybe even with a logo on the side. You park in a residential neighborhood late at night and climb right in back (make sure the windows are blocked out so nobody can peer in and see you sleeping), then get up early and drive off to another neighborhood before exiting.
Of course none of this addresses the real problem: affordable housing. It’s going to be a situation where none of the lowest rung service workers can afford to live where they work, and/or multiple people cramming into shared apartments where they take turns sleeping in shifts.
