Nearly 500 San Franciscans are living in RVs they bought as an affordable alternative to the most expensive rental market in the nation. Mayor Daniel Lurie’s ban on RVs means owners can sell their vehicles to the cityโbut often for much less than they paid for the homes.

The San Francisco immigration court at 100 Montgomery is slated to close by the end of the year, following the mass firings of immigration judges. Margaret Kadifa and Mariana Garcia report on where remaining court staff will be sent.
