City of San Jose to clear homeless camp for new Microsoft data center

(KRON) — The City of San Jose is schedule to clear dozens of RVs from the street in in San Jose’s Alviso neighborhood at 7 a.m. Monday to make way for a new Microsoft data center at 1657 Alviso-Milpitas road.

Abatement notices lined the street Sunday as the city prepares for a mass eviction. The sweep is the City of San Jose’s latest crackdown on homeless residents.

Some advocates were seen helping residents move their RVs ahead of Monday’s cleanup. KRON4’s Jack Molmud reports that many of the homeless people living on Alviso-Milpitas Road have nowhere to go.

“San Jose is one of the only cities in the region making real, sustained investments in safe parking, shelter beds, and policies that bring people indoors — we reserve the right to enforce our city ordinances to ensure that public parks and streets are clean, safe, and accessible for the entire public,” Mahan said. “When neighboring cities pass punitive policies without real alternatives, they’re not solving the crisis — they’re exporting it. We need a regional approach grounded in both compassion and accountability.”
