Not in MY Backyard!

San Jose changed its criteria for where the homeless housing can go, reducing sites from 99 to four

San Jose was building "Tiny" homes for the homeless and were planning on putting them on publicly owned land. One little problem, like most progressives, the residents want to help by "raising awareness" or blame conservatives, but when it came time to actually do something? Well, not in my town buddy boy!

But finding sites for the tiny home villages — which could house up to 25 people — proved to be a major challenge. The city looked for publicly owned sites that were a half-acre in size, near transit and with access to utilities. But after an outpouring of complaints, San Jose officials added even more restrictions — 100 feet away from homes and creeks and 150 feet from schools and parks, leaving just a handful of potential sites.

Even the sleazy politicians were putting on the brakes. Advocate for the homeless to get elected. Actually help...

And Councilman Sergio Jimenez, often an outspoken advocate for the homeless, said it’s unfair that two of the remaining sites — Bernal and Monterey and Branham and Monterey — are either in or near his district. Council members last year had agreed to place tiny home communities in each of the ten council districts to equitably distribute the housing.

Again, progressive politicians show their true colors. It's not about the flavor of the week, (IE: Global warming/cooling/climate change, immigration, or statues). No it is about getting and staying in power, and the perks that come with it.
