San Jose officials are clearing a significant homeless encampment near the airport, an area notorious for safety issues, amid a lack of permanent housing solutions.
City officials stated that the encampment removal was directed by the FAA due to concerns about smoke affecting pilot visibility and birds being attracted to trash, posing a risk to aircraft.
Mayor Matt Mahan emphasized that while solutions are being developed, urgent actions must be taken where encampments violate laws and pose dangers to the community.
Despite city efforts to provide shelter options for those displaced, the actual number of individuals who accepted housing remains unclear, raising concerns about their future.
