San Francisco's temporary parking permit program for large vehicles, aimed at reducing the number of people living in RVs, has led to increased evictions. According to one source, since November 2025 the city has towed 353 RVs, while only 67 households received housing or shelter. Another source reports 171 RVs towed by ordinance, roughly three times the number of households housed through the program.
The program requires proof of vehicle ownership, which often excludes people living in RVs they do not own. Informal residents who are not vehicle owners frequently receive no support.
