“GO TO JAIL OR FREEZE”: America’s New Laws Against RV & Vehicle Living

In 2025, millions of Americans are confronting a hard truth: the cost of simply existing is rising faster than wages, savings, or stability can keep up. Housing has become unaffordable, rent keeps climbing, and for a growing number of people, living in a car, van, or RV is no longer a choice — it’s the last option left. But that option is disappearing. Across the United States, new local laws are quietly reshaping daily life for people living in vehicles. Overnight parking bans, vehicle size restrictions, anti-camping ordinances, and aggressive towing enforcement are spreading city by city. What once functioned as a survival strategy is now being treated as a violation. There is no single federal law that bans living in your vehicle. But that doesn’t mean people are safe. Instead, a patchwork of municipal codes has emerged — laws that regulate where you can park, how long you can stay, and whether resting in your own vehicle is allowed at all. The result is constant movement, constant uncertainty, and constant risk of losing the only shelter you have. Behind political talking points and surface-level debates, a deeper shift is taking place. This video breaks down why RV living feels more dangerous than ever, how survival is being regulated rather than supported, and why stability itself is starting to look suspicious under modern policy.
