That’s not a reality unless we want to just live with my parents.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In 2021, only 32% of potential first-time home buyers could afford a median-priced home in Santa Clara County, \u003ca href=\"https://jointventure.org/download-the-2022-index#:~:text=Download%20the%202022%20Silicon%20Valley%20Index&text=Updated%20annually%2C%20it%20is%20a,for%20leadership%20and%20decision%20making\">according to an annual report from Joint Venture Silicon Valley\u003c/a>, a think tank organization based in the South Bay. Over the past few years, Ramos White’s older siblings have moved out of California to find cheaper real estate.

The stall served as a sort of safety net that helped smooth over rough patches when their weekday jobs cut back on hours or expenses went up.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I went to San José State. My older brother and older sister went to San José State, and the flea market paid for all of that,” Ramos White said. “Especially during the recession in 2008.

Russ worries that a lot of the original essence of La Pulga will be lost if it becomes a digital marketplace. ‘How many vendors at the flea market are going to be selling their fruits online?’ he asks. \u003ccite>(Amaya Edwards/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003ch2>\u003cstrong>An online flea market?

That’s when the city voted to rezone the land as a “mixed-use transit village,” surrounding the new BART station, which opened last year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At the start of 2020, a group of vendors formed the \u003ca href=\"https://www.facebook.com/berryessafleamarketvendorsassociation\">Berryessa Flea Market Vendor Association\u003c/a>, a nonprofit that has \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11878548/san-jose-flea-market-leaders-end-hunger-strike-but-future-of-la-pulga-still-hangs-in-the-balance\">organized extensively to ensure that no vendors are displaced\u003c/a> as the Berryessa BART Urban Village is developed.

[Closing it] will forever change things.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Unlike his wife, White didn’t grow up going to the flea market each weekend; he started working at the toy stall as an adult. In his time working at the stall, he’s learned how other vendors and customers barter and haggle, skills that he believes give swap meets their character and energy — and that can’t be easily substituted online.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>La Pulga is a place where so many immigrant families and their children come together to make their dreams of financial stability a reality, Ramos White said. Waking up at dawn, knowing how to pull in customers, haggling to never lose a sale and staying past sunset to clean up — that’s the hustle culture that she says defines the energy of both the market and the families that have made it into a San José landmark.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside label='More Stories from the South Bay' tag='san-jose']“Being children of immigrants, we know that they came to this country to give us a better life and everything that we do was built on their backs,” she said. “If you need to make money, you need to make money.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She’s inherited this mentality from her parents, but has also incorporated what she’s learned from her own experiences at La Pulga. As she and Russ prepare for potentially letting go of their stall in a couple years, they’re not letting go of their dream of buying a home.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She says that the hundreds of families who work at the flea market are going to keep hustling to survive in the Bay Area, with or without La Pulga. “People’s backs are going to be up against the wall and they are going to make it happen because that’s all we know how to do,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n",
