San Francisco to ban homeless people from living in RVs with new parking limit
SAN FRANCISCO, CALIFORNIA, JUL 22 – San Francisco aims to clear sidewalks and improve sanitation by limiting RV parking to two hours with permits for registered residents and a $2.8 million buyback program, affecting 400 RVs.
- On July 15, the Board of Supervisors approved a ban on RV parking for over two hours citywide, regardless of housing use, with exemptions for registered residents.
- Amid an explosion of vehicle homelessness in recent years, San Francisco's new RV parking ban led to stricter limits, as city officials cite street safety concerns.
- Under the permit program, RV residents registered as of May are exempt from parking limits, while new arrivals after May must comply, and the city has budgeted $175 per foot for buybacks.
- SF board president Rafael Mandelman said `Our streets are not homeless shelters`, while Erica Kisch said `it's recognition that households should not be living in vehicles, that we need to do better for families, and for seniors.`
- This fall, the law takes effect, aiming to address about 400 RVs used as temporary housing as the city begins issuing permits.
