S.F. Mayor Breed Announces Towing for Homeless in RVs Refusing Shelter
Sep 22, 2024, 10:07 AM
San Francisco Mayor London Breed has announced that homeless individuals living in RVs who refuse shelter will face towing. This decision is part of a broader effort to address homelessness in the city, which has included increasing the number of shelter beds and cracking down on tents. The initiative follows a recent U.S. Supreme Court ruling that grants cities more authority to manage homelessness. As a result, the number of homeless encampments in San Francisco has decreased significantly. Additionally, the city has been focusing on removing roadblocks to build more affordable housing, aiming to make it easier for residents to find homes. Recent efforts have also led to cleaner streets, with fewer tents and less visible homelessness in areas that were previously heavily affected. The announcement was reported by Maggie Angst via sfchronicle.
