San Jose Leaders Ban Homeless Encampments Near Schools | KQED
Briefly

San José leaders approved rules preventing people experiencing homelessness from living near schools and set new limits on RV parking. Advocates fear more widespread restrictions may follow, impacting those living in tents, RVs, and cars.
The council granted police and city workers considerable authority to tow or remove large vehicles like RVs from designated prohibited areas, pending a traffic study and placement of parking restriction signs.
San José plans to enforce RV restrictions near three specific schools initially, with a pilot program around Independence High School, Shirakawa Elementary School, and Challenger School.
Destination: Home's CEO, Jennifer Loving, emphasizes the importance of not making survival harder for those forced into homelessness on the city's streets.
