Im a trucker, go all over, and let me tell you ive seen tent cities and camper cities pretty much everywhere out west. And it is definately more in the past 3 or 4 years than in the past. Just another sign we are failing as a nation. 1 by 1 people cant afford housing anymore.
That's what happened after Trump was the worst economically since the great depression.... it's about to get a lot worse for Americans.... but you won't have to worry about seeing it because they'll be sent to the concentration camps too

There's no such thing as an 'urban camper'.....they're squatters. 'Camping' is where you go out and enjoy the outdoors on your day's off or vacation, or hunting, then you come back home and go back to work.
@megamilyon6111 I'm a nomad, I travel all over the country. I've already slept in bozeman many times. Never in winter though. I should be back that way come spring.

Instead of calling them “urban campers” or “homeless people” you should call them “people who have made a string of bad decisions in life, and have probably prioritized drug use over employment and being productive members of society.”
Wrong. I've been in my car for years. I work, i don't do drugs, i don't even drink alcohol. I run marathons, I bodybuild, and I backpack around the nation
Bad decisions?... Like getting cancer. Like being in a car wreck. Like losing your job, and getting evicted. Hundreds of housed people are one missed paycheck from becoming homeless. All over America. Wages are flat, rent goes up, and up again. Many factors cause people to lose housing, sometimes bad judgment, sometimes just bad luck.
@docwatson1134 it's more than hundreds. I'd say it's a good portion of the nation. Currently 140 million Americans are classified as in poverty or low income. Most ppl are one bad moment away from being homeless
@nomaderic Yeah, I was thinking just in Bozeman, hundreds of people at high risk. But didn't have the population numbers as I was commenting. Btw, population of Bozeman Montana is 57,000. One percent would be around 600 people, it's probably twice that number that can't cover a sudden $500 expense. Scary how many are that close to the edge. I think the city needs to acknowledge the obvious, and create safe parking lots, until affordable housing is available.
@docwatson1134 every time any city tries to create anything for the homeless every nimby in a 5 mile radius comes out to get it shut down. Ppl say they don't want these ppl on the streets yet everytime they propose to create housing or parking it gets shut down. It's a nationwide problem.

Are you kidding me? Montana is a dump! It has to be affordable up there.

Yea. Bozeman is a city and they are inside the city. It's not difficult to understand

Our home is 20 feet long with wheels. We're not homeless. We have full solar and a wood stove. It's cozy and awesome
Are urban campers the homeless! New phrase to me.
What's with the exclamation point
Yes. It sounds better than "homeless "😂😂😂😢🎉😅😅
So annoying words have to be changed every six months so no one gets offended
Urban camping? Did this girl really just call it that? This is insane.
Bozeman 28F, Phoenix 85F, Tucson 84F today.
Those old rigs would never make the drive, but I agree, they should be in Quartzsite AZ with all the other snowbirds
Super warm and very inexpensive in Mexico. Sayin.
How stupid. Saying.
That's where we're headed. Mobile home is mobile!
@@boblatkey7160 hope you looked into the mirror when you said that. Sayin.
"already seeing a change" of course you are, those not set up to winter in Montana are going to warmer climates for the winter, as always.....
‘Urban Campers’..?…I hope the new terminology makes them feel better, because it ain’t helping the situation

Urban camping that's Rich 🤣
Just for all these negative comments im going to bozeman tomorrow. I stay in my vehicle but im gonna come here just to piss yall off
They aren't urban campers. They are homeless and mostly that way for a reason.
Total BS.
I would have picked somewhere with better weather 🥶
I approve of the ordinance.
Chuck Winn, Good stuff Yup
if its too cold then send them to Los Angeles.
Why, they are Americans just like you
@@nomaderic I want them to be warm. I dont want to pay for them in Montana. Whats your address, they can live with you.

An RV or van can be a home… like a boat.
Quartsite,Arizona is much warmer. Don’t have to shovel snow!
If your broke you can fly a sign for fuel
Where do people live?
Thought it was a free country folks?
You mistake free for my tax money 😂
It is. I live in my car and go wherever I want. I travel all over the country. I do what I want
It is…until it’s in their neighborhood.
Come to Quartzsited. All are welcome!
Check out havasu city sometime
Urban camping ? 😂😂😂
If I were homeless and had to live in an RV I would probably spend winters in So. Cal or Phoenix.
Time to move the campers/vans on it is not good for any community to have these living on the streets.
Memo to campers: MOVE TO CALIPORNIA!
Never mind building affordable housing, just criminalize homelessness and jail the homeless. That's despicable.
what life decisions led to so many homeless people in the USA? time to shut down street and car people.
The Wealthy continue to turn the screws on poor people. Our nation is in a sad condition.
They can't afford anything but yea, make them buy a permit 🙄
Just being nosey
Urban campers is like calling KBZK real news. What a fricken joke you people are.
"Urban campers:::"= Homeless 😅😅sounds better tho😂😂😂😅😅🎉🎉
Urban camper??? Homeless has a new name.
Dude must have a lot of jackets.

I heard Bozeman was a liberal city. After reading these insaine comments, I know it't true. Sad.
