The city of San Jose greenlit a controversial plan to establish the largest safe RV parking site in the South Bay.
The site will house 85 RVs, and their residents, year round -- a proposal that's already drawing protests from people who live near the property.
“Right now, it’s too close to residential areas. That’s the problem,” said Christine Li of San Jose. Opponents say they worry about safety and want to know if the homeless living there would be screened. Sign up for NBC Bay Area’s Housing Deconstructed newsletter. “If all the neighbors in the surrounding area are opposing this plan, it means this is not a good plan,” said Li.The city will lease the vacant lot from a developer for the next 10 years at a price of $18 million.
“They are moving people from one place to another, like musical chairs, they are not solving the problem. But they’re just getting people off the streets that other people will complain about,” said Alex Pang of San Jose.
