San Jose homeless hotel neighbors complain of public safety and sanitation problems

SAN JOSE PLACED people swept from its largest homeless encampment in motels earlier this year, but neighbors near one location are raising safety concerns.

Residents near the Bristol Hotel at 3341 S. Bascom Ave. on the border of San Jose and Campbell said RVs have appeared near the motel since homeless people began living there in August. They have also found syringes and abandoned shopping carts near the motel, according to photos viewed by San José Spotlight.
