A federal judge has given permission for San Jose to continue clearing out a homeless encampment at Columbus Park.

“This has been my life for the past six years. I’m just used to the city coming in and taking everything and going,” she said.“It’s very cold at night. No heater and no power,” she said.

At one point, several hundred people once lived in the encampment on vacant land near San Jose International Airport. But the city cleared the camp in the fall in response to an FAA mandate.
