Residents Living In Fear As RV Squatters Take Over Their Oregon Neighborhood

In 2020, a Eugene neighborhood was the recipient of the installation of a bus stop. The area chosen for the bus stop was Elementary Lane. The bus stop has additional large parking spaces that have become the home base for those who choose to live in an RV.

One of the neighborhood’s residents, Donielle Cline, told KEZI9 News this week, “I’m always afraid that we might piss the wrong person off by telling them to leave and they might come back and do something like to shoot up my house.” “I don’t know because I don’t know these people,” Cline explained her concern about the RVs being parked next to her house.

Another Eugene resident, Laine Radcliffe, told the news outlet, “The problem is right here where we are standing, and the city put double length RV length parking spots a few feet from our front door.” “It would be great if these two RV-length parking spots were removed because I really don’t see the point in it. They’re camping spots, put right up against our fence.”

Radcliffe pointed out that he has witnessed several issues, including out-in-the-open drug use and sexual acts being performed within earshot of children.

Residents said one RV dweller broke the lock on a gate leading to private property on Sunday night, then entered the private property.

Radcliffe said, “One time someone was doing that, they were just sitting on our fence, and I said, ‘dude, you need to get off and leave, this is private property,’ and he began swinging a metal baseball bat at me and proceeded to spit blood on me.” “No one is legally supposed to be camping here, no one is supposed to be giving fellatio in the corner, no one’s supposed to be shooting up heroin in plain sight, no one’s supposed to be trespassing on our property.”

Communications manager for Unhoused Response, Kelly McIver, told Fox News Digital Thursday the area in question was “cleared out” by police and parking enforcement.

McIver said, “City code stipulates that vehicles cannot be stored on the street for more than 72 hours.” She further explained, “There is a legitimate need for residents, visitors, businesses, etc., to park on unregulated curbs, so it’s not always appropriate just to make areas’ no parking’ with an immediate tow.
