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 quiet 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 an RV and initially parked near her son's school in the Bayview.

When parking tickets began piling up, she moved across the city to Lake Merced, joining other RV residents who may soon have to leave with nowhere else to go.
