San Francisco will implement a two-hour parking limit for large vehicles starting November 1, 2025, requiring a permit to avoid tickets and towing. The policy targets RV communities in the Lake Merced and Bayview neighborhoods, where residents, many of whom are working-class immigrants, have formed informal support systems. City officials state the program will connect eligible individuals to housing assistance, but advocates warn it will uproot families and worsen displacement.

San Francisco's RV towing enforcement begins, revealing permit program flaws

San Francisco began enforcing two-hour parking limits for large vehicles on November 1, towing those without permits. Internal documents show a rushed rollout, with only 299 permits issued by October 31, leaving many of the 503 households counted in May at risk. The program excludes residents with inoperable vehicles or lacking documentation, and its rules conflict with earlier city assurances about completing outreach before towing.
