      True. The media outlet chose a clickbaity and whitewashed headline, OP took it a step further.

      These are not nomads. Nomads are not homeless. The article clearly talks about homelessness.

      I mean the article calls them the “mobile homeless” because the only place the have left to live is their cars. What is that if not a nomad?

        If you don’t have a home you are, by definition, homeless… A car is not a home, and living out of one should never be normalized.

          True. But in America we absolutely have, to the point where Millennial adults end up buying RVs and campers to be able to live in their parent’s backyards with some modicum of privacy. Honestly I could see a bunch of these types of people pooling money together to buy campers, RVs, or even trucks with cargo containers converted into the kinds of facilities a society needs to function, camping where the work is and moving on when the work runs out. And it’s not even a new idea. Traveling shows and carnivals were a thing way back in the day, and for the religious, traveling preachers are still a thing.
