Description

There are all sorts of different appliances, clothing, tires, chairs, etc...all scattered along Wood Street, and the space underneath the Frontage Rd and 880 overpass. But not only that, the homeless is burning it for heat and the fumes from burning these toxic items are dangerous to all those in the area inhaling the fumes. I walk to commute everyday and am forced to smell these fumes daily. I'm sure these affect all residents and businesses nearby. In addition, the burning has caused fires within the last couple of months. Check with the local fire department and you'll see records. This is unsafe for the homeless and for all those living and working nearby. It's toxic. You thought the smoke from the NoBay fires were bad, this is right here locally not in the air from hundreds of miles away, but literally walking right through it.
