There is only one reason to live this kind of vagabond lifestyle in a blighted urban environment, and that is easy access to hard drugs.
In a decade of van travel, I spent very little time in large urban areas. 100 nights spanning 14 states on my last trip, and only 3 of those nights were spent parked on pavement in a built-up area. However, in some states like Texas I was basically stuck with Walmart as the only option for a hassle-free overnight stay.
