Gov. Newsom Declares War On Vanlife

https://www.sfchronicle.com/outdoors/article/california-bans-propane-canisters-19793015.php

The ban on propane canisters is going to create one hell of a underground for legitimate single use propane cans from out of state. I have no doubt in some areas people will make their living off this black market.

Butane doesn't work in cold temperatures, so you gotta use propane. Recyclable 1 pound cans are very expensive- I saw some in a walmart up in Butler, Pa when I went to visit Trump's Ear, and the cans by themselves are useless, they need a special adapter twice their cost in order to squeeze propane from a larger canister into a smaller one for portability. Alot of people going camping or living in vehicles can't afford the room for the giant canisters.

@TheOneyouwerewarnedabout I knew a security guard back in 2010, he would ride Amtrak (a rail line) out of San Francsico to Sacramento at night, and come back, each night, and paid $200 for a all you can ride free monthly pass to do it. He claimed he got enough sleep in the business section each night doing it.

I don't know what he did when Covid hit, was likely instantly homeless.
