S.F. supervisor blasts move to store towed RVs at Dogpatch pier

San Francisco's authorities will implement a ban on RVs parked for more than two hours, leading to potential towing and storage at Pier 68. District 10 Supervisor Shamann Walton criticized the decision, stating he and residents were not consulted and that the pier lacks the capacity for RV storage. Walton envisions better uses for the area, such as a trucking training program, rather than serving as a dumping ground for the city’s challenges. The mayor's office claims the storage plan is temporary, but did not address why Walton was excluded from consultations. Walton, who voted against the ban, highlighted that his district has one of the largest RV populations in the city and warned of possible displacement.

He accused Mayor Lurie of breaking a promise to involve him in local decisions. The mayor's office argues the move is necessary to address long-standing issues related to RV parking. Walton remains skeptical about the success of the ban, suggesting it could lead to the towing of hundreds or thousands of vehicles without adequate solutions for the displaced residents.
