The 30 sites were identified after an inventory completed by city staff documented 1,974 oversized vehicles on public roads, nearly half of which were lived in. City officials have prioritized creating temporary zones where larger RV encampments are causing problems and in more sensitive areas, such as schools, waterways, and interim housing facilities.
San Jose Mayor Matt Mahan said, 'The neighbors and small business owners and people coming to the parks in these areas deserve some relief. We have seen that when we have long-term encampments, whether they are RVs or tents, we see real challenges with noise, trash fires, in some cases, criminal activity, and we've heard repeatedly for years now from neighbors that they need some change.'
