Meet the American Nomads of Walmart's Plentiful Parking Lots | Raw File | Wired.com:"If you’ve ever tried to sleep in your car on a long trip without planning ahead, you may have run into the law at some point.
Each U.S. city has a different policy and tolerance for car-sleeping and it’s hard to find a legit spot if you don’t know where exactly you’ll be stopping.
What you can count on is one of Walmart’s over 3,000 stores being nearby.
The company’s policy of allowing overnight stays in their parking lots is intended to boost sales, but has the tangential effect of creating a subculture around its locations (though they’re still at the mercy of local laws)."
