Police and city crews on Thursday began dismantling the nation's largest homeless encampment, notoriously named "The Jungle," in a controversial move that aims to move hundreds of transients from the center of San Jose and find them affordable housing.
Police and city crews on Thursday began dismantling the nation's largest homeless encampment, notoriously named "The Jungle," in a controversial move that aims to move hundreds of transients from the center of San Jose and find them affordable housing.
Streams of homeless people wheeled their lives out of the encampment on Story Road, their shopping carts full of their belongings. Some cried they didn't have time or the ability to move everything they own out in time.

I guess it doesn’t matter anymore if you know the way to San Jose, they won’t let you stay.
In this case, good riddance.
Government never stops lying, does it? They just couldn't say "we're gonna clean out these bums and put them in real homes at the taxpayers' expense."
By sticking their hand in your pocket and coming up with the ‘affordable’ part.
“The Jungle, “ one of 247 homeless encampments within the city limits...”
Wow.
Notice how differently the praetorian press views “the homeless” when there is a Democrat president?
now they’re in my area more than usual,,,
but it needed to be done
This wouldn’t even be a story if the ‘rats retained congress.
Send them to live with good old governor “Moonbeam”
How generous of you.

Ahh, if you had been following my posts on the Freeoples thread, you’d know that I had opened my own home to some of San Jose’s homeless, that I got two former homeless as paying roommate and they invited their friends to come over.
You’d know that the nully Hacienda got a bit of a reputation as a place where they could come, do laundry, get a shower and sleep, sleep without fear of getting hassled or mugged.
You’d have read of the morning where I counted a full dozen of them crashed out throughout my 1000 sq ft house.
You’d know I never had a problem with any of the kids, although the adults were a different story.
You’d know that for years afterwards a kid would show up on my doorstep, cleaned up, employed and with a home of his or her own, would show up just to thank me! I did so little, yet apparently made so much of a difference in their young lives.
What have you done?

The only difference between a homeless person and an Appalachian Trail backpacker is Goretex. Home is where you lay your head.

A colleague of mine was having a meeting with a vendor in the hotel lobby (south side of Central Park) where he had just checked out and would be catching a cab to JFK.
The vendor gave him a half-liter bottle of Chivas Regal as gift just as he left. My colleague really didn't want to try to repack it in the suitcase or carry it (this was pre-9-11), so he gave it to one of those derelicts hanging around the cab stand.
The look on the wino's face was priceless . . . as if he'd just won the Powerball.
