	"description": "On October 1st, the SFMTA board passed a measure giving the SFMTA director the power to tow RVs anywhere in San Francisco, removing all public process and accountability. This change plunges people who rely on their vehicles for shelter into deeper instability and pushes them towards street homelessness. Five district supervisors filed an appeal of this decision, and the hearing will go before the full Board of Supervisors on December 10th. When people’s RVs are towed, they lose their only form of shelter. There are over 1,400 people in San Francisco living in their vehicles, and the City lacks a significant amount of shelter beds and capacity to offer families, people with disabilities and seniors when they are seeking it. The 2024 Point-In-Time Count found that 90% of families experiencing unsheltered homelessness live in their vehicles. Currently, there are over 500 families on the family shelter waitlist and not enough deeply affordable housing, which is why many individuals and families end up living in RVs. People who live in RVs are not going to disappear or all leave the city; implementing a citywide ban would only push people into tents and deeper instability. This ban would waste City staff time and resources, while only creating more chaos on the streets. Please join the End Poverty Tows coalition in calling on our Board of Supervisors to repeal this measure and instead support housing and safe parking sites for people living in RVs.",
