San Francisco's new law, which took effect over the weekend, bans RVs and other large vehicles from parking in one place for more than two hours, subjecting violators to fines or towing. Critics, including residents and advocates who rallied this week, argue the rules could displace people with few housing options and call for a pause on towing until new protections are in place. The city states its goal is to move residents into permanent housing, citing new budget allocations for rapid rehousing and hotel vouchers. Since enforcement began, the city has cited three unpermitted vehicles and towed two.
