Timothy Barto says people have a lot of misconceptions when they see someone living out of an RV. "They think we aren't normal or we didn't have conventional lives at one point," Barto said. Living in Seattle since 2015, Barto started to feel the crush of rising rent during his first two years as a Seattleite. "We were paying $2,700 a month in Cap Hill for a two-bedroom. We couldn't afford it, so we ended up subletting it," he said. Barto said he rented out the two rooms and lived in the basement, but his landlord forced him to stop doing that. There was also a $300 rent increase "It was going to be $3,000 a month and we couldn't do it," Barto said.
