A sanctioned parking site for unhoused people

San Francisco Chronicle:

Salesforce Tower is seen at a distance as Items are strewn on the ground at the City-run RV-site on Carroll Avenue in San Francisco, California Thursday, Jan. 20, 2022.

San Francisco quietly opened a large sanctioned parking site for unhoused people this week, providing dozens of spots in the Bayview for those who live in RVs and cars.

Despite fierce opposition, including a lawsuit from some neighbors, the “vehicle triage center” at the Candlestick Point State Recreation Area welcomed residents Wednesday, marking the start of a two-year program intended to provide a safe location for vehicle dwellers to park, sleep and be connected with services.
