The city of San Jose wants to clear out Columbus Park to make room for a dog park.
What unhoused advocates say is absurd is that the RV’s end up moving only a few hundred yards down the street just to stay ahead, or out of the way, of the 5-acre dog park construction.
“So only seven people now that’s behind these gates can go and the other people, they just have to spread out and go different places,” said Gail Osmer, an advocate for the unhoused. “Your lifestyle just goes downhill the longer you’re out here as long as you don’t get help and you don’t find a way out of it. You just keep getting taken down with it. It kind of drains you,” said Williams.
