'Where are they going to go? We can't magic up homes for them': As the police move in to clear the squalid Silicon Valley homeless camp, charities fear that its 300 former residents will just set up another camp

• Residents must clear out of shantytown known as 'The Jungle' in San Jose by today or face arrest for trespassing
• The encampment is located at the heart of opulent Silicon Valley, home to tech giants Apple, Google and Facebook
• The city's homelessness response manager said increased violence, unsanitary conditions and wet weather made it imperative the camp be cleared
• He said one resident tried to strangle another with a wire and one person was nearly beaten to death with a hammer 
• City officials plan to send in trash trucks to haul on tons of hazardous and human waste and fill in excavated areas
• But pastor Scott Wagers describes the camp as 'a crime syndicate ruled by gangs, where police do not enter'
• He said forced evacuation will just lead the homeless people to restore their camp elsewhere

  Dilapidated, muddy and squalid though it was, it was all they had to call home - a shantytown in the heart of Silicon Valley.
  Today signaled the end for more than 300 former residents of the homeless emcampment known as the 'The Jungle' in San Jose, California - likely the largest in the country - who have been forced out of their makeshift abodes and underground homes.
  The run-down tents and piles of trash are in stark contrast to the opulence of its Silicon Valley surroundings, home to tech giants Google, Apple and Facebook, and its dismantling has stirred up controversy. 
  And with many having nowhere else to go, charities say the evacuated residents will simply set up their camp elsewhere.  
  San Jose's homelessness response manager Ray Bramson said increased violence, wet weather and unsanitary conditions make it imperative the camp be cleared.
  In the last month, one resident tried to strangle another with a cord of wire and another was nearly beaten to death with a hammer, he said.
