San Jose is actively addressing the homelessness issue by creating 30 temporary towaway zones throughout the city. As part of this initiative, the city aims to protect neighborhoods, schools, parks, and waterways negatively impacted by vehicle encampments. Mayor Matt Mahan acknowledges that while initial successes have been seen in managing RVs on Chynoweth Avenue, further work remains, since many vehicles have merely relocated. San Jose's efforts also include tripling shelter capacity to provide broader solutions to the existing homelessness crisis.
