San Jose's City Council approved a "vanlording" policy that bans renting RVs to homeless individuals, aimed at addressing the issue of individuals living in vehicles. The policy restricts parking and sleeping in RVs on streets and private properties starting August. Some council members, like Pamela Campos, worry about the potential for police discretion in issuing citations and the adequacy of current safe parking sites for the RV-dwelling population, highlighting concerns about enforcing civil liberties alongside property rights.
"It's important being thoughtful in our process for how we are moving forward on (policies) that will both support the needs of our business and property owners, while also maintaining civil liberties to our residents."
"My preference in this case is to (ask) for implementation of the trespassing policy ... but come back on what our implementation policy plans will be around that as we go into fall."
