The wife of the Mayor of Kansas City, Missouri, uploaded a video complaining how truckers use the state's rest stops to get some rest.

Meanwhile, the homeless are not allowed to set up tents and live there.

Opinions? 

If you've never lived on the mainland nor taken interstate highways on long trips, you might not have enough firsthand knowledge of rest stops.  Some states call them welcome centers at their borders or convenience centers.

In some areas, I felt apprehensive about going inside a rest stop when there were only one or two cars in the parking lot.  When I saw several big rigs, however, I felt safer.  Most of them are packing heat to protect themselves, and they have radios and work phones that can get through to help if needed.

Rest stops are usually busy during the daytime and some also at night.  A homeless camp would be problematic for the state.  Vehicle break-ins, drugs, panhandling and people living in restroom facilities would be a burden on travelers and the state.  Restrooms would be no different than the park restrooms here -- filthy, broken and always out of supplies.

It's just a big parking lot, right??
Not like campgrounds.

Most are on a large plot of land often with wooded areas to the back and sides.  The more comfortable ones have picnic areas, dog walking areas, nice landscaping around -- a nice place to feed the kids food you  packed without them making a mess in the car.

The welcome centers can be a full-blown visitor's resource with maps, brochures of local attractions, machines for refreshments and snacks, and even a person who sits at an information booth.

Some locations also offer dump stations for campers and RVs to properly get rid of their waste water, etc.

You might also find them with grills, pavilions and large picnic tables.  Most forbid open flame cooking, but charcoal is okay.

There are also parking time limits and no overnight parking rules at many.  The limits for truckers may be different.

Maybe Mamdani can find a solution for these homeless.  Likes to talk sh*t but when you ask him how he is going to do it he just smiles.......so I figure give all the homeless one way tickets to NYC.

How about training the homeless to work as truckers?

Or use the trucks to drop them off in California.

Good weather, lots of other homeless to live with, plenty of government money to keep them alive...

I say let the homeless stay there….plenty targets of opportunity if they act up!
