Homeless doesn't necessarily mean sleeping under a bridge. You can be crashing at a friend's place and still be homeless if you don't have a home of your own to go back to. An illegally parked RV with no mailing address doesn't count as a home for most purposes.

But how many of those people would consider themselves homeless? RV shit is a total fucking lifestyle for a lot of people.

It's not a lifestyle if it's not by choice. Try finding a job without an address. The people that do it as a "lifestyle" are usually just wealthy turds or social media dweebs larping as happy families on the road despite their kids being obviously miserable

Well... Yeah. That's why I asked how many of them consider themselves homeless? Obviously some are forced to but then there's some people who just really fucking like RVs?

I would guess that most of them consider themselves homeless. Especially if they're living in those makeshift tent cities. Either way, they are homeless if they don't have an address.
