The most depressing part of this is, we could have infrastructure in place to accommodate people living in their cars like KOAs and public shower and laundry facilities. Living in your car could be pretty doable. Many do so voluntarily on a temporary basis.

However instead we use zoning restrictions to stop such infrastructure and then punish those who are forced to live in their cars. We then use draconian parking and registrations laws to try and take away the only home these people have. Why?
