US EditionSan Francisco to ban homeless people from living in RVs with new parking limit
SAN FRANCISCO, CALIFORNIA, JUL 22 – The policy exempts RV residents registered by May but affects at least 400 vehicles, aiming to clear sidewalks and reduce trash, city officials said.
- On Tuesday, San Francisco Board of Supervisors considered a policy banning homeless people from living in RVs, targeting at least 400 vehicles citywide.
- In recent years, San Francisco has seen a surge in RV dwelling as housing costs soared, prompting the new parking ban.
- A permit program exempts RV residents registered by May from parking restrictions, while a two-hour citywide limit covers all recreational vehicles and oversized vehicles over 22 feet or 7 feet high.
- The rule effectively bars RV families from city limits by limiting parking to two hours, and adds $11 million for enforcement and housing subsidies.
- San Francisco has budgeted more than $500,000 to buy RVs at $175 per foot, although critics warn the plan is cruel for helping only 65 households.
