San José Mayor Matt Mahan has been pushing to build more emergency interim housing as a cost-effective approach to get unhoused residents off the streets more quickly. It’s intended to be a temporary step toward more permanent housing.
But one big roadblock to building it? Local housed residents, who say they want to see solutions to homelessness...just not in their own backyards.
