VINI News founder Vinita Duniphin says Palo Alto police impounded her RV for expired tags on June 1, 2026 after she asked for a few hours to move it, go to DMV, drive it, or arrange AAA towing.

Residents held a memorial for Paul A. and are planning a vigil and a broader impact study into safe-parking exits, disability-related support, vehicle homes, and the public systems that shape life-and-death outcomes for vulnerable residents.
