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 distinct neighborhoods in San Francisco reveal the fallout of the city's rising RV crisis and the lives caught in between.

As San Francisco steps up efforts to curb vehicular homelessness, safe parking options for RV residents have dwindled. Along John Muir Drive in the Lake Merced neighborhood, over a dozen RVs line the curb, including one where Jessica Cuevas, 32, lives with her eight-year-old son.

After being evicted from her $3,800-a-month rental in late January, she bought an RV on Facebook Marketplace and parked near her son's school in the Bayview.

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.
