From 99 to 4. And the prospect for those remaining sites are dwindling fast.

Nice gesture, but even liberal taxpayers don't want's hoardes of bums living anywhere near their homes, schools, or kids.

Amid neighborhood backlash, city leaders have pared back one of San Jose’s most creative ideas for housing its thousands of homeless — erecting shed-like “tiny homes” for them — from 99 potential sites to just four.

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.

“They’re almost segregating homeless families from existing neighborhoods and that’s not what San Jose is about,” Campos said. “If we can do this right and not give in to NIMBY-ism, then we set the path for other cities in California to address the homeless crisis in their own communities. This sends the wrong message.”

As you posted, a strong example of Limousine-Liberal NIMBYism.

Meaning: I was elected to serve these people, but I know better, so I see no reason to represent their wishes.

I'm shocked.
