Overview
- The Board of Supervisors will decide on a measure imposing a two-hour citywide parking limit on all oversized vehicles, targeting about 400 RVs used as housing
- Residents registered in May are eligible for six-month permits if they agree to temporary or longer-term housing and relinquish their RVs when it’s time to move
- The city has set aside over $500,000 for an RV buyback at $175 per foot and added $11 million to its housing subsidy budget
- Critics warn the policy helps only around 65 households while displacing hundreds of vulnerable families amid a severe affordable-housing shortage
- The proposal follows April’s closure of San Francisco’s sole RV lot after $4 million in annual costs failed to transition occupants into stable housing
