Bay Area RV homeless crackdown intensifies as cities tighten rules
Original source: California Post

Cities across the Bay Area are escalating enforcement against people living in RVs and vehicles, with Oakland becoming the latest to approve a policy to speed up towing. The move follows concerns that the city is becoming a sanctuary for displaced residents from other areas. An estimated 20,200 unhoused people live in Alameda and Santa Clara counties, most in vehicles. A 2024 Supreme Court ruling has given cities more authority to enforce camping bans even without available shelter space.
