Did she have any indication, or any reason at all to believe that RV was actually being used by homeless people? Maybe a neighbor just bought an RV?

I also love the use of "my neighborhood" there. Because it sure doesn't sound like she's saying it in the sense that it is the neighborhood in which she lives. Feels more like it's being used in the possessive sense. That it is her neighborhood. She has some sort of claim to it and the right to demand certain things happen in it, that overrides everyone else's rights.

She didn't really know, based on what she said when people called her out. She kept saying, "I didn't say there's anything wrong with being homeless, I just think they need to park somewhere else." Idk, there's a dude driving a Benz who's been caught on camera breaking into several cars and houses, and another couple that drives a late model suv that follows delivery trucks and steals every package they can get, so maybe it's not the homeless person in the shitty rv we need to worry about here.
