How can we prevent this from happening every other week?

This is a major pedestrian thoroughfare between JLS & Lake Merritt.

These ongoing encampments on Oak St are illegal. Time for the city to enforce local municipal code: 9.08.160 & 9.08.170.

In addition to being fire hazards, these illegal encampments are health & safety issues.
City's inaction is putting general public welfare at risk.
