  These so called advocates need to stop handing tents, trailers and RVs. This is the main issue. Simply dumping these victims of civil society on the streets over and over not not getting them help. Stop all the enabling and pandering what ever happened to tough love and accountability.

  Upvoting. In the past few months, new encampments have been popping up in West Oakland like weeds and the city REFUSES to do, hiding behind the "lawsuit" excuse. Let me save you the hassle: move it yourself because the city sure won't and if you don't, 1 becomes 2 becomes 10 in less than a month, complete with trash, feces, needles and rats. Disgusting how brazenly the city council ignores the concerns of their taxpaying citizens.

  The city's policy of just allowing people to set up tents where ever they choose has made things get out of hand. There's no shame in setting aside an area for them to camp in, it would make things so much better. Services would be easy to obtain because there wouldn't be 800 different camp sites.... the garbage situation would be a little better....

  I'm still trying to figure out why it's illegal for me to claim a PUBLIC sidewalk, park or street for myself, but perfectly legal for a homeless person to do so.

  Not only that, but the laws are not being equally enforced..... If you want to park near West Oakland BART, you need to have a B Permit on your car. If you don't have a B Permit, you'll get a ticket, unless you live in your car. If that's the case, you can park anywhere for as long as you want to....

  The permit doesnt work either. Take it from me. Ive lived in this neighborhood 32 years. All the city is good for is collecting money and not enforcing and if they do, its odd hours of the day. The weekends are worse! City is good for nothing but collection a check and letting its citizens fend for themselves. No wonder home depot wants to pull out!

  The fronting property owners are by law responsible for the maintenance and repair of there sidewalk. Having a large area to use and hold these people till they ready to deal with the real world would save the taxpayers tens of millions of dollars.

  Another tent there. Same spot. After 20 minutes on hold with OPD non -emergency line. I hung up and posted this. I’d rather spend a minute and have nothing happen than to spend twenty and have nothing happen.
