Caltrans is building a taller, stronger wall in San Jose to stop homeless individuals from returning to an encampment.
Caltrans has repeatedly cleaned up the large encampment under I-280, but the homeless keep returning.
While this new solution has some homeowners pleased, it is generating a lot of anger in the community.
Laura Nunez, who has lived on Macredes Avenue in San Jose most of her life, said everything changed on her street when homeless people began using the rickety chain link fence at the end of the block as a doorway to their encampments along I-280.
“Every time Caltrans would come out and repair it…as soon as they left they cut a hole in it and they just use that…that was their main access point to go in and out,” said Nunez. “We’ve had to live with their garbage. We’ve had to live with drug paraphernalia. The kids haven’t been able come out to play.”

Ah, crap... misleading title.
When they start building an actual wall out of homeless folks ping me to that.
I’d be interested in the engineering of it, if nothing else.
I would build...a pond.
Lefty California*: More walls per capita than any other state.
*Now with travel bans!
A pool and a pond...
-Carl Spackler: Your place got a pool?
-Ty Webb: We have a pond in the back. We have a pool and a pond... Pond’d be good for you.

As long as they learned from that other state that under-bridge storage of flammable materials capable of damaging support beams isn't a good idea.
Particularly when bums are involved.
Enjoyed that lol, on target as always
“actual wall out of homeless folks”
LOL
“As long as they learned from that other state that under-bridge storage of flammable materials capable of damaging support beams isn’t a good idea.”
No one here has learned. We had the same thing happen in Orange County in the last few weeks. A smaller bridge so it didn’t make national news.
I’m not even in a legal weed state and the homeless have infiltrated every patch of woods around the city. One small business owner had an old RV at the back edge of his fenced property & was going to clean it up for a daughter to use, found squatters in it!
What happened to the money LA voters approved in the last election that was going to be spent in “helping” these bums?
Just stack ‘em up!
Put ‘em to work!
Looks like they would be falling over the railings, drunk/stoned.
Each "pod" is supposed to sleep two homeless.
What do they do - hang them off the wall in sleeping bags like insect larvae?
How do they get in and out? With a fork lift?
And what about getting out in the middle of the night to use a 'toilet'?
Maybe they just use "Trucker Bombs".
Either way - pity the guys sleeping in the pods underneath the top tier.
