The clearing of hundreds of homeless encampments on Spring Street in San Jose had been planned for a year. But it's happening now, in the middle of a heat wave.
City crews are scooping up the debris, while the people who once lived here struggle to stay one step ahead of the bulldozers.Osmer said the city agreed to call off starting new camp evictions anytime the temperature goes above 88 degrees."Nobody wants to be out there, the workers or the unhoused," Osmer said.
Damon has lived in the camp since April, and calls it a last resort. He lives in a tarp and cardboard structure that got infested with rats. He's been sleeping on some salvaged car seats, but he just got into some interim housing, in a city-run tiny home community in South San Jose.Other camp residents are trying to squeeze out a few more weeks by moving their RVs into a more organized camp near some ballfields.
