San Jose Berryessa Flea Market's future remains uncertain | KTVU 

I grew up at this flea market. My grandparents ran a houseplant stand there in the 70s and 80s and I helped out every weekend as a kid. I left San Jose decades ago but it’s sad to hear this place is closing.

Flea Market used to be fun and all day parking was $5.

Opportunity cost is a nice way of saying I can make more money by selling the land than leasing it.

My parents took us there back in the day my favorite was the warm fresh churros as you entered. This was the best.

I grew up working at this flea market with my uncle. We had a Spanish music stand for years and it was such a wonderful community of vendors and the place to be after church. Sad to see people losing their livelihood and La Pulga overall.

0:57 looks like my witch teacher

That was where I bought all my fishing gear it was the best

This is we're my first job was I was 11years old now kids are lazy I miss this place

Shoulda grandfathered it in!

Everything changes, and for the owners of the land they have every right to sell and go on with their lives. As to the small business vendors who rent space there, other opportunities might be available. The Hegenberger corridor has lots of vacant buildings and parking lot space, or there is the vacant Galleria in SF - also there is vacant space around Union Square. All are accessible by public transit too.

Sad.

I think the lovely and open border supporting communities of Los Altos and Atherton should have no problems welcoming the flea market to their areas. Money shouldn't be a hindrance.

move the flea market further south.

Do they still have ghetto blasters with 700 watts?

They need to move them out ASAP so San Jose can build more unaffordable housing.

Why is the city/taxpayers responsible for helping the vendors relocate? Was it not enough the vendors never paid taxes on all their sales?

1:00 🤥😂

Good riddance. It’s not a flea market & hasn’t been for 20yrs. A flea market is people spreading a blanket on the floor & selling stuff they collected in their garages to rid of it. It isn’t resellers with 30 toasters!! It should not be a collection of husinesss. The only business is the business of the land owners to rent their property for weekend parcels to homeowners.

I will come if parking is free or $2-$3 only because we drive two cars and it's just not worth it....

after years it was never the same. all too expensive and junk being sold. the rich need their land making cheaper to buy up

Smeh…best of luck everyone. But if I were the landowner, I would move forward for development because based on this location, major money.

ai narration?

Tough Luck. Not the city's responsibility to find a location for a flea market.

That’s a prime real estate worth trillions of dollars, and y’all wanted to kept that place looking as is for the amigo populations?

Mostly immigrants selling stuff we can buy at Walmart now days.

Closed the Oakland one too please . 🙏

The messicants are ruining it

The Asian guy reporter at the beginning of the video has an Americanized sounding voice. He doesn’t have a foreign Asian accent.

Move them to an equally bad neighborhood
