- A massive flea market that has become a San Jose institution may be torn down to make way for a new transit development. But those who have worked at the market for generations are pleading with the city for help. John Ramos reports. (5/19/21)
The BART station is built, but without the flea market, I have no reason to go there.
We dont want the flea market to shut down😱🥺
I remember frequenting the San Jose Flea Market as a young girl with my family.
It was a fun place for me to be able to spend my allowance at.
And a place that was always fun to walk in the Sun.
Please don't take away from that!
Flea markets is always fun to go with family
The politicians are to blame not the developers...remember the politicians approved it.
Went there at least 35 years ago. The valley isn't for selling stuff anymore, only selling companies.
Love this affordable and diverse flea market. The BART is paid for by the public, yes?
Then why does it feel as if taxpayers are building infrastructure for the ultimate benefit of developers and not the general population?
Tent cities are ubiquitous in the area, yet there's greater effort in creating luxury living spaces.
San Jose has been disgustingly corrupt for at least 10 plus years now. All the cities in silicon valley just bend over with their pants down to out of town developers that bring projects in that DO NOT MAKE THINGS BETTER.
@@chasingsunsets87 10 years is nothing; the corruption in San Jose and Santa Clara County runs long and deep
Used to work there back in the 80s as a teenager to make money for college expenses. John Bum was a great boss to me. Going to miss that place. I don’t blame the Bum family for cashing out . The valley is not the same anymore. Internet age is killing brick and mortar everywhere.
Now the Bum family is destroying Vietnamese community with Bay101 casino!!
Destroying everything good
Isn’t there an old Kmart, or mall around, that can be used instead.
We need that
Notice not one of them mention about paying rent? They just expect the property owners to crave in to their "demands". Free stores at prime location and no rent.
I'm from Hayward, I used to go to this Pulga all the time when I was young I haven't been in while i keep wanting to take my kids.. this place is the bomb. San Jo fight for that! Don't let em take it they already built hella houses SAVE THE PULGA .
It’s inevitable and the developers always get their way. Always.
I have so many childhood memories with my grandpa here. So sad to see the flea market close down. It's a San Jose Landmark. So many hard working people there. Please find a proper solution
When I was young back in 2006 my dad would tell me we better enjoy “ las pulgas” in a few year from now rich people going to move in and government is going to do everything in there power to move the poor out the way 💯
Spread your money among different asset categories like bitcoin and stock, then further allocate those funds within each category.
I invested in both stock and Crypto but I'm doing much better on Crypto with the favourable market price crypto is the future
Crypto is the future
I must say stocks are good but Crypto is better
Yeah sure and investing in it right now will be one of the best thing to do.
I wanted to trade crypto but got confused by the fluctuations in price.
Save La Pulga!
I remember when my grandparents were still around they would take me to La Pulga fun time's. The food and the big slide was the best part.
No! That’s my favorite place to hangout
My mom use to work for the owners as a caregiver and me and my family went to the flea market since i was young and still is going there till today all away from palo alto
Uce
Destroying the only reason to visit that boring "city".
Please keep it 😭🙏
Very sad! Big developers only care about their profits and not about people’s livelihoods.
Dont get rid of the flea market!!!!
That place is like something big to me. My father took me when i was a boy and i take my son now . its a family place .sometimes its not even about the shopping.its the culture, the vibes , music, food, games .like what you guys on over there? Land owners selling themselves over there .
Flea market was fun. I used to sell my used toys, a nice asian man,sold wigs. Offered me a job, to run errands,watch the place,and comb out the wigs. This was early 70s. It was great cuz, my dad's stall was across from his. After I'd scavenge with my brother, for things to sell,when people were leaving. Ah, memories. Had good hotdogs too.
Lol this is on my algorithm because I was there yesterday:D
How about dealing with the bums that line pennitencia creek(what used to be a creek) first.
Thumbs up if you call it La pulga.
Yo that one guys idea about the vertical flea market would actually be a great idea for tourism without displacing long time vendors
They did the same thing with calskate Milpitas 🤦🏽
I remember the Berryessa flea Market from When I was a kid. I just turned 56years old
The rich win again.
Why don't they move it to the Santa Clara County Fairgrounds. Lots of land not being used, excellent location, parking......
I suppose they'll need to learn how to code UC Berkley has a course for beginners. Can take the coding boot camp online.
They can have something like structure with several floors for the flea market I think.
Mane appointment for tomorrow please
Just follow suit and aspire for the better!
Include a large parking and flea market high rise in that project, maybe a 3.5 acre ten story high rise.
This is so sad i guess we’re all gonna have to go to the Santa Cruz flea market instead lol
Sounds like we need to vote out these new city developers
Robert they are trying to kill your candy shop bud.
The owner of the flea market is gonna be a billionaire
I blame the city of San Jose who approved the plans
@Susan Wojcicki Is Asshoe finally someone who can for the link between misery and democrat politicians.
@@rw4022 This place would have been gone long ago with Republicans in power, this is what they love...corporations building.
There is the Capital Drive In Flea Market about 10 minutes away. They could relocate there. There are options the vendors refuse to consider. Its not that the land owners are unreasonable.
Yea that’s someone’s property so why are they making a big deal out of it 🤷🏽♂️
This is horrible The San Jose Flea Markets has been around my whole life....
Sometime, a good old place is more successful than an upgraded place.
☹️
Hell ya👍
Sorry luv that place...
LEAVE THE FLEA MARKET ALONE!
When and where do we protest?
Tear it down. It causes too much traffic anyway.
I’m beyond pissed. Building more useless homes and take away the jobs that help people pay their bills etc.
It's really not a fleamarket...it's like little Tijuana.....with the stalls side by side....Its like a Mexican magnet...A "Fleamarket" it where the small guy gathers really cool shit together and sells it...like a garage sale on steroids...This, this is a travesty and should be shut down..imho..
Compare with the Asian city mayors, their most important responsibility is providing enough jobs, but in USA, no mayors take responsibility for jobs for wide spread of pandemic, that is ironic.
Best !
There's always the Capital flea market near Monterey road
not the same vibes tho
That’ll be next.
More expensive housing?..
Move it down south towards Morgan Hill or Gilroy.
urban housing village ideas are stupid. So SO SO SO stupid. no more urban villages.
Agenda 21 they want us all STACKED AND PACKED! No cars only public transportation 🤦🏿♂️
That's bull shit i wont use bart No flea market No Raiders aint no need for me and my family to use bart we can drive any where else.
Why the Poor Stay Poor ☝️
One of the last vestiges of free market capitalism.
Who really wants to live next door to bart unless if they are deaf and even then the vibrations from Bart may disrupt them during the day.
3 acres is enough. Just need to visit 6-7 stalls as it’s all the same after.
Buy them all of give them a very fair profit and relocate them to somewhere convenient 👍 plain and simple
Option B is to 100X the rent they pay to sell at the flea market.
Devil opers
Tare it down and make room for the Asians.
Lets be honest about the 'transit homes' nobody wants to take the train when youve already got a car, SJ isnt as bad as other cities where a large majority of the population use the train systems, BUT if the traffic and lack of open space were like NYC then yes im all for the train system but SJ has lots of open land it aint a city city until you go to DTSJ but even then its a joke. Besides you get the homless and other unpleasant shows/instances while on these trains.
Whats the big deal. Just move the place somewhere else and build housing
Don’t worry they’ll make affordable houses ⛺️ 🏕 ⛺️ ⛺️⛺️⛺️⛺️⛺️⛺️⛺️⛺️🤪🤣😆😂
Why must we provide aid to everyone?
San Jose ridding itself of the working poor, into another antiseptic city
I remember the Berryessa flea Market from When I was a kid. I just turned 56years old
I did too...may 6th...man, time goes don't it? Like Frontier Village....here and gone...lol
@@spignetti Really Frontier Village is gone Too, That's really Sad
