Opposes the removals

On the morning of October 28, park rangers, SFMTA staff, and San Francisco police began removing RVs parked near Lake Merced, clearing streets where dozens of families had lived for years. The removal caps a two-year push to enforce parking limits and build a bike lane along Lake Merced Boulevard.

As of September 2026: Documenting families left without vehicles

San Francisco's two-hour parking limit on large vehicles, built to clear RVs used as homes, is towing people who never slept in them. Kyle Richards' camper van was towed twice in August, costing him more than $1,600. City complaint records show at least 28 housed vehicle owners told officials they were hit by the rule between November 2025 and July 2026.
