Enough is enough! First the city endorsed this area as an encampment, and closed off that block of Magnolia Street for months, and supplied the people living there with garbage cans. Then they disbanded the camp and took away the "services," but now make no attempt to prevent the same people in the same tents from staying there and blocking the sidewalks with their tents and all manner of discarded furniture, shopping carts, clothing, and mounds and mounds of garbage. This is a huge public health issue, with human excrement, trash, needles, dogs and their excrement, etc. etc. etc. - all tacitly permitted by the city. Please clean up this area once and for all!

I agree! This has become out of control. Just because this isn happening on the outskirts of Oakland shouldn't mean the city shirks its responsibilities. Get your act together Oakland and take some responsibility for what you've created.

Homeless encampment is still blocking ALL wheelchair accessible sidewalks. I'm so done with this, moves this to the lawn in front of city hall, it's time for our city officials to see what they aren't dealing with.

Agreed. We should move this to the nice green well manicured grass at city hall park. I wonder how much public funding thecity and county get for distributing all those needles out?
Hey isnt that considered drug paraphenalia as well as illegal distribution of a pharmecutical device with intent to allow illegal use of drugs?
Thats so cool that our cities and other governing bodies get to spend our tax dollars on aiding in drug addiction. Especially in the form of needles. Nice pointy blood filled syringes that induce extreme high and cause psychosis onset to occur at a rapidly higher rate than other forms of drug use.
But no, sorry the budgets just wont allow room for a needle exchange program.
And definitely not city garbage cans.
And DEFINITELY NOT APARTMENTS FOR PEOPLE TO LIVE IN.
Gee maybe if these homeless people werent forced to live in their own feces, for years, they might not have been so miserable. If their city hadnt offered them nothing but drugs and needles, they mightve been better off without them. But thats all theyve really been given.
A free ride to die. No other rides available.

Maybe the police could also see if these folks have receipts for all the bicycles they're selling from out of their (most likely chop shop) tents.

When is the next appropriate Oakland City Council meeting? It's time for a group of us to make the City hear from us DIRECTLY.
