PWD, why is this allowed? The park is cleaned out (with the exception of this tent area), then the next day, the campers are back. Then someone opens a new see-click-fix ticket and here we are again.

This is allowed because the reactive City of Oakland has let the number of people on the streets to grow to 6000 to 7000 thousand. There advocates cannot house drug and alcohol dependent people or the mentally ill. You also have chronic rule breakers who are not houseable. The other reason they are here is all the free stuff tents, traps, sleeping bag, food, clothes, cash and no consequences. Every neighborhood they are camping in complains about them trespassing, theft, litter, piles of garbage, urinating and defecating on the streets, parks and private property. Please keep posting because on SCF we can document the city,s on going failure to protect is law abiding and taxpaying citizens.

Well said David, so true.
