There are many people who are forced to live in their cars because they really cannot afford to live in the Bay Area. I am not technically one of them, and in doing this by choice I am inevitably appropriating their hardships. However, I am also saving hard, trying to pay off my debts, and learning a few invaluable life skills—like carpentry and how to be a fairly competent mechanic—in the process.

A bit misleading since she is doing this by choice. While rent is way too damn high in SF, that doesn't mean it is impossible for someone who works as a SW engineer to afford a place to live in an area within commute distance

She*

And I am a young, white woman,

But still definitely accepted job by choice, many locations besides SF offer SE jobs.

Wow. I didn't notice that part. Didn't really expect it either.

And I am a young, white woman, which gives me the immense privilege of pulling up a creepy van and parking it without being harassed. People don’t report me; neither do they assume I’m a vagrant. They smile and ask if I need anything.

She even admitted to having some form of female privilege

Funny how out moral betters always make it a point to bring up race/gender/orientation, etc...

Here on the internet, it does not matter who or what I am, all that matters is my opinion and whether it can stand on it's own merits.
