Yes! There is also a pile of maybe 10 buckets? What is in them? Human waste? Chemicals? Who knows!

Most likely human waste, that is what they do because , well they have no where else to go because Oakland won't come up with any solutions.

Prostitution and drug use and sales daily
I got tired of reporting. Also, there is a pile of buckets, maybe 10, in one corner of encampment. No telling what's in them. Maybe human waste? Maybe chemicals from a dump? Who knows.

This seems to be what Oakland city leaders are going to tolerate.

There is a huge pile of trash left behind over the fence in the corner. Piled up to the top of fence.
Also, when the city makes the homeless move their tents in order to clean, they move across the street, even closer to our homes, blocking the sidewalk and they stay there for a week or so before moving back under the freeway. I guess moving that tent is a lot of work. This approach is not solving the problem. Obviously something different needs to be done. Maybe if you came by and made them move everyday, eventually they would decide that it's too much work living there. Then they might seek help for their underlying issues

The city ones right out to write us a ticket for parking violations but when we call regarding abandoned vehicles blocking our spaces, it takes them 3 weeks to come out. But they want the ticket paid right away or it increases. Yet, on the same street where we get our parking tickets, there are people shooting up heroin and smoking crack right in front of my kids!

These people continue to do this day after day take our parking ticket money and put some bright lights under the freeway and cameras

Ok. I'm done. For today anyway

I had reopened and commented on this post, but my message wasn't posted for some reason. This is what I had written:

This morning a police car was stationed on the median, which has since been cleared out. Everyone/thing/tent has simply moved to the sidewalk on Peralta, Magnolia, and now onto 35th. The median is the only area of this triangle that has been cleared.

Does Oakland Public Works consider this a "closed" issue because one segment of the area was cleaned up? This is by no means a solution, and as Karla mentions in her comments.

PW, do your job and quit giving citizens the run around. You are just embarrassing yourself as a company.

Seattle tent cities is one solution. OAKLAND NEEDS TO TRY.
