city streets. east palo alto is one of the first local communities to launch such a program. it's all about keeping people safe says the mayor.ruben abrica/east palo alto mayor "...these are human beings, they are families and we cant just treat them from a law enforcement, punishing aspect, i am sure they would rather not be doing what they're doing..."the mayor says most of the people living in these rv's are local residents who are still holding down jobs but have simply been priced out of the rental market which has risen some 26 percent in recent years. the lot should be open for business by mid november. in east palo alto rob fladeboe kron4news (jr stone) a big story tonight... san francisco city and county workers testified before
