The city of San Jose has initiated the clearance of its largest homeless encampment located at Columbus Park, displacing hundreds of unhoused individuals. During the sweep, crews discovered a deceased man inside an RV at the site. The city is gradually relocating people from the encampment into converted motel rooms as part of the cleanup effort. Meanwhile, other homeless encampments in the region, such as Legion Park, have experienced recent fires, with plans to clear North Park encampment in the coming weeks. The situation in San Jose reflects broader challenges faced by California cities in managing homeless encampments, as highlighted by recent inquiries into municipal approaches across the state.
