SAN FRANCISCO (KRON) – The San Francisco Board of Supervisors has reversed a policy that could have made it easier to ban and tow RVs from city streets.   The city estimates there are at least 360 RVs in San Francisco, and many are home to unhoused families. That’s why homeless advocates have been so vocal against Mayor London Breed’s newest policy making it easier to ban overnight RV parking.  Under the mayor’s plan, the head of the SFMTA could make that decision on his own, with no public hearing or public comment before the SFMTA board. Google discriminates against employees who take family leave, lawsuit alleges “I think the real concern is recognizing that 90% of unsheltered families live in vehicles, and most of them live in oversized vehicles. City estimates 85% so it is… that’s a great concern, and we don’t want to see families on the street,” said Lukas Illa with the San Francisco Coalition on Homelessness.  Homeless advocates feared that policy would make it easier for the city to tow these family homes on wheels away, and those who live in them echoed that concern at Tuesday’s board of supervisors meeting. “I would like to live in an apartment, but it’s not easy to find one right now. I find myself living in an RV, and I’m trying to find a solution. So please think about us, and reverse this decision,” one man said. Ultimately, by a 7-3 vote supervisors reversed the mayor’s new policy. This doesn’t prevent bans on overnight parking, or citations, or towing, but it does reinstate the public process.   Going forward, homeless advocates say the need now is for the city to create safe parking sites for these vehicles. “This has been a demand of RV communities, of homeless advocates, to invest in a diverse array of infrastructure to support the populations that we have,” Illa said.
