The site is on a 6.3-acre lot at 1300 Berryessa Avenue in an industrial area not far from the BART station.
The city estimates there are about 400 RVs like his parked along the streets in San Jose housing otherwise homeless residents. The proposed Berryessa site could provide a parking for 85 RVs, or just over 20% of that estimated total. "We can move those people into a safe parking site with services and give them the help that they need to ultimately transition out of their vehicles and into housing," explained Mahan. "It would probably be better to put the efforts into creating housing instead of a parking lot space," says Jasmine Duarte, a San Jose resident.
"They're helping the way they should help, not helping the way everybody needs help. I don't know if it's going to work. I hope it works," said Ellison. When asked if he would be willing to move to the Berryessa site if it's approved, he quickly replied,"No."
