The whole situation at 23rd and MLK is beyond shameful, Out city leaders seem uninterested in remedying the situation (I'm willing to bet OAK 311 will "close" this ticket in a couple of days) and it is liekly time for some real community action, including litigation.

The fact that they were able to clean up North Gate near freeway shows that something CAN be done. At 23rd and MLK the situation has gone from bad to worse with no sign of abatement or intervention

Something REALLY needs to be done about this area. I've complained about this stretch many times to the city and city council and nothing has been done. If you walk through here at night there are now rats everywhere to go along with the feces, used syringes and garbage everywhere. This is a public health issue and nothing is being done.

Jeremy, I have been posting service request since 2015 to rid of the homeless encampment on our 23rd Street / MLK . Nothing has been done. How can the City permit encampments on a residential street with children living here? I had clean feces several times in my private property. The City does not clean on private property. You are on your own. As of today, trash & filth is scattered all over 23rd Street. Very unsanitary. The City expects our neighborhood to be compassionate and live with it. It's my belief that the City has "Zoned" our street to be a "sanctuary area". This is consistent with Mayor Libby's belief that Oakland should be a compassionate Sanctuary City. . . . as long as it is not on her street where she lives.

Jim, the reason why the city permits is because they are demo.crats. This has been their party's M.O. for a long time. did you see what they did to Detroit? They appeal to "progressive" voters by completely refusing to govern anything.

The City of Oakland addressed this issue on 07/31/2018, service request #830445.

Periodic reminder to always confirm if issue is actually resolved when City of Oakland Call Center closes it.

dg510, I was blocked by a moderator because I must have been too out spoken. Censorship do exist and freedom of speech is not guaranteed right.

Indeed, the owners of this website are not good people. They have automated word filters that will censor your posts for containing innocuous words. For example if you type out "Demo.crat" or "Repu.blican" it will censor your post (without the periods). If you type "immi.grant" it will do the same thing. Their word filters include many ordinary inoffensive english words. Furthermore, they apparently sympathize with SJW saboteurs who try to derail tickets on this site and will permanently close tickets reporting issues if the SJWs report them for "oppression" (for example, they permanently closed a ticket where someone reported an an illegally parked vehicle because the SJW's reported it for being "oppressive" to the vehicle's owner)

Jim... I'm afraid to say I'm basically numb to the rats at this point.I try to pretend they're squirrels. This all just so awful.

The eastern red fox squirrels are not native either and displaced large numbers of native gray squirrels.. But they do carry all the pathogens the invasive rats do Alameda Co Vector control 567-6800 to bad they do not deal with the two legged vermin which is the real problem..

I am guessing nothing has been done so why was it closed???
