Welcome to Venice Beach, California, where tensions are rising between homeowners and the motor homeless who take over entire streets living out of campers, vans, buses, trucks and RVs.

I’m a "wanna-be" Motor-Homeless person. I would like to spend retirement living/visiting places of beauty and interest. I hope to learn how to do this without annoying the full time residents of places I visit.

Cedric Glazer and Nisarga Maharaj, sitting at another table, said they had never been to a soup kitchen, but saw a notice for the dinner. "I call myself motor-homeless, because I travel around in my old motor home and don't live anywhere," Glazer said.
