Part 3/9:
The legislation, approved by San Francisco supervisors, limits RV parking to a two-hour window on city streets. Additionally, this regulation impacts other large vehicles longer than 22 feet, regardless of whether they are used for habitation. The city is also partnering with the Department of Homelessness to offer temporary or long-term housing subsidies, attempting to incentivize residents to relinquish their RVs.
An innovative aspect of the policy involves a buy-back program, where the city plans to purchase RVs from residents at $175 per foot, totaling approximately $3,500 for a typical 20-foot RV. However, critics question the sufficiency of this fund, pointing out that the actual need far exceeds available resources.
