San Francisco Mayor Daniel Lurie has proposed a new initiative to restrict RV parking to two hours across the city every day. This legislation targets nearly 500 vehicles occupied by individuals experiencing homelessness. The plan includes a $13 million investment exemplifying a commitment to provide housing vouchers and services, despite criticism regarding the high costs of towing RVs. Critics like Jennifer Friedenbach argue that funding could be better allocated to permanent housing solutions, while the city also considers a buyback program for residents to return their RVs for cash.
"It leads with compassion; it leads with services. It leads with places where people can live," said Mayor Lurie.
"Our goal is to address the large and oversize vehicles that proliferating across San Francisco... to support those folks who are currently in vehicles," said Kunal Modi.
"They are spending a huge amount of money on this, also money that could be spent on housing... those people will end up on the streets," said Jennifer Friedenbach.
"I have a job. I'm getting ready to go to work except I just don't make enough to pay for rent. If I pay for rent, I need a second job..."
