Two neighborhoods in S.F. reveal the aftermath of a citywide RV crackdown — and it’s about to get worse

Aftermath of San Francisco's RV Crackdown

Two neighborhoods in San Francisco reveal the consequences of the city's efforts to curb vehicular homelessness, leaving RV residents with limited safe parking options.

Along John Muir Drive in the Lake Merced neighborhood, over a dozen RVs are parked, including one where 32-year-old Jessica Cuevas lives with her 8-year-old son. After being evicted from her $3,800-a-month rental, she bought an RV and initially parked near her son's school in the Bayview, but moved to Lake Merced due to accumulating parking tickets.

As San Francisco steps up efforts to curb vehicular homelessness, safe parking options for RV residents have dwindled.

Cuevas and other RV residents in Lake Merced may soon have to leave, but this time they have nowhere else to go.
