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.
