City of San Jose, CA To Destroy Homeless Camp



Get out or else: Police officers and city officials hand out warning notices at a Silicon Valley homeless encampment known as The Jungle on Monday


[From article]
Shouting and banging on doors, city officials in Silicon Valley stapled and taped notices on hand built structures, tents and tree trunks warning more than 200 residents of what is likely the nation's largest homeless encampment that the bulldozers are coming.
People living in the camp, known as The Jungle, must be out by Thursday or face arrest for trespassing.
On Monday morning, more than 20 police officers and construction workers walked through the mile square encampment, more muddy and trash strewn than ever after an unusual fall rainstorm.
