The Vernon, B.C., family is 'baffled' that amid a housing crisis, the city has fined them for living in an RV on private property
After being told the house they were renting was being sold, Lee and Sondra Watkins started looking for alternative accommodation.
That was in May of 2022. But within a month of moving in, Watkins says the City of Vernon took action on a single complaint. “I don’t know what makes this wrong. We’ve done everything right from the electrical to the septic holding tank to professional insulated skirting. We don’t understand.”Both Lee and Sondra are small business owners who were born and raised in Vernon.They’re baffled by the city’s "double talk."
The Watkins are left shaking their heads as to why their temporary housing solution has garnered such pushback when communities and municipalities across the province are relaxing rules to help ease the housing crisis.
