This may be the guy that routinely moves around the neighborhood in west Oakland and has been spotted dropping his septic tank waste in the street/gutter that runs into the bay. Moves often enough that OPD and the authorities don't catch up with him, but he's always lurking around somewhere, only to move a week later. Doesn't seem to leave garbage, but human waste and occasionally oil, judging by previous posts (unless I'm mistaken -- which I don't think I am).

it is the same man - he was on 32nd near Chestnut last week.

the block between Linden and Chestnut on 34th is becoming a campground of vans. OPD drives by the one who has placed cones, furniture, wood outside of his camper into the lane of traffic every day. As long as the problem is in the poorer neighborhoods, OPD will not do a thing to enforce codes and laws for public safety

He has moved his camper a number of times, but thankfully no longer parks in front of our house regularly.
