Homeless Squatters Occupy Luxury RV Lot in California

A luxury RV storage lot in City of Industry, California, has been overtaken by as many as 50 homeless individuals, transforming the area into a crime-ridden encampment filled with trash and frequent fires. The lot, which contains 130 brand-new campers valued at approximately $6.5 million, has seen significant theft and damage since the previous owner abandoned it two years ago. Local employees report rampant crime, with theft of tires and gasoline from vehicles parked nearby, and express frustration over inadequate law enforcement response. Some squatters claim to be paying rent to an unknown person for living in the campers. Cleanup efforts are planned, with an estimated cost of $80,000, and a court order has been obtained to remove the occupants. Local officials emphasize the need for better management of the homeless crisis and accountability from city leaders.
