Concernedcitizen , please call the Mayors office. Allowing the homeless to do as they please is wrong. There are laws in place and they need to be enforced.

Come on, city staff, please get these people out of living in the park!

This is unacceptable. This is supposed to be a safe place for children!

Please call the mayor. The homeless have set up encampments in several parks, including lake Merritt . This is unacceptable.

What's the number for the Mayor's office? You should post it every time you suggest people call.

510-238-3141 or email her at officeofthemayor@oaklandnet.com

Still there, 7:00am on Saturday.

Theresa, they will be there for awhile. First they are issued a 72 hour notice which might take awhile and who knows when they are issued that notice. PW'S cleans up and they will probably be back. Those of you who see this will most likely be calling and calling and calling .

If this is still there I guess the safety of children doesn't matter to the city.
