Good for him. It must be a great boon to homeless people to have clean clothes; I know that I would feel very dispirited if I could not wear clean clothes on top of the already horrible situation of being homeless.<p>But how come there are so many homeless people in the richest country in the world?
I'd be quite interested how he meets the power requirements, is he using electric dryers? I feel like a vans alternator has no hope of running 1 let alone 2 of them. Also what does the freshwater/wastewater system looks like?
I remember seeing this years ago, and as this article's date says "2017" that's probably when I saw it. I wonder what's happened in the 4 years between then and now, a quick Twitter search doesn't generate any hits, is he still around, if not, why not?
It's sad that one of the most richest places on Earth (the San Francisco Bay Area) is unable to house, feed, clothe and provide drug/alcohol/mental health treatment to a mere 10,000 homeless people.<p>I know homelessness is more than "houselessness", but it seems like a pretty simple problem to solve. Even considering that other states bus their homeless to Calfornia, fixing the 600,000 who sleep outside (and the 1.5 million who visit homeless shelters each year) doesn't seem particularly difficult.<p>Though obviously mobile laundromats are a complete waste of finite resources and absolutely not the way to solve homelessness.
