The current rule has been in place for a long time. Unless it's
designated otherwise you can camp in the Federal Forests for up to 14
days. It's hard to prove that you didn't go away for some period of time
which would reset your 14 days. If you don't mind moving around a bit
you can live in the Federal forests rent free--indefinitely. The Feds
have armed enforcement officers, put they usually don't bother with
people much as long as they have a clean camp.

I imagine that would be the same for tent sites? The unhoused, avoiding those high rents, could just move their tent over, a few hundred yards.... Of course, it's a hard life bumming, during the Winter, anywhere in Oregon... I'd be a snowbird
bum, and head for San Diego, if that was my lifestyle.... They can sleep out most nights there in the bosom of California....

I tried sleeping on the beach one night when I was stationed in
San Diego. There was a bar near the beach that served cheap meals out of
their back door. They usually had a line until they sold out. There were
a couple of bars that got a nice cross section of the California folk
scene. I thought the all night theater downtown was more comfortable.
But, we were only in San Diego from January until early June. We left
soon after it started getting warm. IIRC the all night theater only cost
a buck and they kicked everyone out around 6am. I think our homeless
population here goes down somewhat during the Winter. We see a lot more
of them downtown during the Summer. I suspect that most of those people
go back to their parents home during the winter. Tucson gets some
snowbird bums along with the people who have more money. I enjoy
California, but I don't think I would want to live there again,
regardless of the climate. These days, even Bend, over on the really
cold side of the state, has a significant homeless population.
