I live near and have spent a lot of nights and days in OC, NJ. yes it is a dry town, as in no alcohol sales permitted. But it is a great place and I had no problem with the police or neighborhoods. I road with a bike "group" and we did not respect many rules. Ya want a drink? go to somers point. ya wanta beach party? go up on ocean drive and longport blvd. we used to drink under the trees in 5th street park.

Been up and down the coast and have lived on barrier islands for years. Except for the work I avoid OC at all possible. Been working OC for the last 20 years off and on. That is the only thing I do in OC. The reputation precedes itself. Horror stories from just about every contractor and worker I know. I am the only one who has not had a problem although I did get a ticket for a cracked windshield once back in 88. They run my plates, tailgate me, follow me for miles, do all kinds of stuff to try to get me to screw up. It's what they do. Not a cool place. Eye candy is great. Everything else not so much. And the politics are absurd. Lots if waste, which I guess is good for me because it keeps me working. I have never seen anything like it. Every 15 to 20 years they demolish a house and rebuild it and sell it as a 3 story duplex. I have worked a couple of properties where the house has been torn down twice and rebuilt. Some houses last but most don't. I was just painting a place today and it isn't even finished and they have an open house. One of the people coming through was bragging about looking for a house and his house was the last one on the block to not be torn down in the last twenty years. Most have been torn down twice. Waste and greed is all over the place. It is sad because it is just not the same place I used to go with my family when I was a kid. And I could care less about the drinking, it is the double standard that bothers me. Rich republicans that own and run the town buy their drinks in there 'club' that is above the law all the while pointing fingers at everyone else. Don't seem fair. And definitely not a place to van dwell. That would be a bad decision on any bodies part to do. You would be safer van dwelling in Beverly Hills...

Swift has a hell of a grand palace just up the road from here. Right on the ocean in toney Watch Hill RI. Won't ever see her in a van full time.....

I love how you all are so myopic that you can only see things from your point of view yet get all pissy and judgmental when others don't see things from your point of view.

I have rented storage space several times. To be honest, I would not want some one living in the storage place unless they were authorized to. If you want to be a night watchman, then get a job doing that.

Good point, that being said one could argue that secretly living in a van on the street in someone's neighborhood where they pay rent and or taxes to do so would not want a person doing exactly that. They might want that person either renting or buying like everybody else. Different senario, I know, but they would be within their rights to take issue with it. Take the person paying 900/month renting an apartment. He might not want somebody living in their van in the parking lot or on the street in front of their apartment 'scot free'. Like I said, different, but really, not so different.

Just had a talk today with the manager. There has been some vandalism happening in the storage place. Kids have been shooting out windows of the cars of one of the commercial guys running a used car business out of there. He asked me if I was willing to move to move my step van back where the action is and stay overnight in an effort to curb the vandalism. At one point kids cut the fence and setup shop in one of the rvs burning blunts and banging girls in his bed. He has to clear it with corporate first but wanted to ask me before he approached the stuffed shirts about it. Told him I had no problem doing that for him although I am probably moving out of state soon. Crazy how stuff works sometimes...

If that doesn't work out:

Find a storage lot that has a pedestrian gate next to the big gate and a keypad to leave (not an automatic open).
Drive in, then 5-10 min later, enter your code to leave but just let the gate open and close.
In the morning, before you make coffee or a few min before you leave, walk out the pedestrian gate, punch in your code and walk in, use the bathroom or whatever, then go back to your car punch in your code and drive out.

A few extra steps, but it will look like you came in at night, left, then came back in the morning, loaded your car, then left.
Wash, Rinse, Repeat.

I kept my RV in a lot that had three live-in RV guys. Nothing bad ever happened there.
