DIY double-decker RV angering neighbors in Seattle

This thread seems to have devolved completely. I’m not sure because I don’t really feel like reading it all.

Just back to the original topic:

If you ever want to live in a nomadic way in a city (out of necessity or out of preference) never forget rule number one:

The amount of trouble you’ll get with neighbours and authorities has in inverse relation to the square of the looks. Make it look good and you can do a lot. Make it look bad (like this RV) and you’ll get shit before you cna blink your eyes.
Of course you’ll need to make do with what you’ve got, and if you live in an RV out of necessity that’s probably not much. Even then you should always prefer looks over comfort.

When I lived in holland I lived on a smallish boat for a while. As soon as I had painted the thing and made it look ‘tidy’ I could basically stay wherever I wanted for a couple of weeks before the authorities started to hassle me. When it was still rusty and dingy → guaranteed police visit within a day.
