KRON4 spotted many tents and shelters set-up along public sidewalks near the encampment site off Coleman Avenue. Advocates say that around 200 people live there.
The city says it expedited the sweep of the encampment over safety concerns. The encampment was the scene of a crime where an unhoused man stabbed a San Jose police officer on May 6.
Unhoused advocates say the city is just pushing the problem elsewhere.
“They’re going to be scattered to the sidewalk and then the people are going to shuffle to Columbus Park and by the end of the sweep, there will be around a thousand people at Columbus Park,” says unhoused advocate Shaunn Cartwright.
The City of San Jose sent KRON4 a statement that said, “outreach was done before the sweep to connect people to shelter.”
