Should NH residents be allowed to live in RVs?

In Rochester, dozens of residents living in RVs year-round within a campground may be forced to move if the city wins a court case against the campground owners.

The lawsuit results from a notice of violation the city sent last summer that directed the owners to stop renting out recreational vehicles located on their property.

According to the City Attorney Terence O'Rourke, RVs are not suited for long-term living and people who live in them are violating building codes. Citing many of the "residents" rely on some sort of government disability, he also expressed concern they are being exploited.

Opponents, however, counter that these people would have nowhere else to go given the high cost of rental units in the area. Others have expressed concern that several residents are elderly and have made their home at the campground for decades.
