Overview

• Mayor Daniel Lurie and a moderate-majority Board of Supervisors voted 9-2 on July 15 to cap RV and large-vehicle parking at two hours on city streets.
• The measure channels $13 million over two years into housing assistance and establishes a six-month refuge permit for vehicle dwellers who comply with community rules.
• A buyback program will offer financial incentives for RV owners to sell their vehicles in exchange for support toward permanent housing.
• Critics including Supervisor Shamann Walton argue the policy risks displacing residents without bolstering shelter capacity and could worsen homelessness.
• The parking restrictions and accompanying support programs are scheduled to take effect in fall 2025.
