There are a ton of contractors in cities, in the Bay Area they probably make more than tech workers. There are also construction workers _everywhere_.

There are mosquito fleet trucks in SF whose whole purpose is to collect recycling and take it to the recycling center.

In western cities there are off-road enthusiasts who camp at places you can’t get to without a modified vehicle and winch (no crowded campsites).

Some people just like trucks and will buy them because why not?

Backpackers seem to manage just fine.

Right and both methods of transit are a hobby. There are plenty of OHV vehicles people live out of as well.
