Two neighborhoods in San Francisco reveal the aftermath of a citywide RV crackdown. The city's efforts to curb vehicular homelessness have led to a dwindling of safe parking options for RV residents.
Along John Muir Drive in the Lake Merced neighborhood, over a dozen RVs line the curb. One resident, Jessica Cuevas, 32, lives with her eight-year-old son in an RV. After being evicted from her $3,800-a-month rental, she bought the RV on Facebook Marketplace and initially parked near her son's school in the Bayview.
However, when parking tickets began piling up, she moved to Lake Merced, joining other RV residents who may soon have to leave with nowhere else to go.
