Description
I originally reported this issue here https://seeclickfix.com/issues/6358928, but it was fake-closed by Sgt. Brian Foster multiple times in order to sweep it under the rug. I fought to keep it open and kept re-opening it, but he had the SCF admins do something where they instantly archived the issue and made it impossible for me to reopen or comment on it again as the issue continued unabated.
I then attempted to re-submit the issue as a new request since the problem was still not resolved and continuing to cause us nothing but endless trouble. I submitted it here again as issue #6705915
As usual, Sgt. Foster went in, fake-closed my issue several more times, and when I attempted to re-open it he had the SCF admins once again insta-archive it so I can't reopen or comment on it.
I submitted yet another request here as issue #6747484, since the problem remains unresolved and continues to be a nuisance and a hazard. Sgt. Foster just fake-closed it again and also fake-archived it so that I am unable to reopen the issue or comment on it.
As the problem continued unabated, I re-submitted the request again several more times, and each time Sgt. Brian Foster immediately fake-closed and fake-archived it again to sweep it under the rug and allow my neighbor to continue abusing us and our property.
He also closed the following additional requests documenting this same issue:
6763566
6768084
6768095
6780007 - He just closed this one Monday, October 14th
6832554 - He just closed this one Wednesday, October 16th
6843679 - He just closed this one Thursday, October 21st
6929087 - He just closed this one Monday, November 11th
It is now the 11th time I am having to resubmit this request because of Sgt. Brian Foster's swift censorship of my requests.
The problem continues unabated to this day and the city government and police department continue refusing to enforce our legal private property rights, they continue refusing to cite the owner of 2614 Central for blocking OUR driveway his pickup truck parked on the street and the rear end of it sticking into our driveway, they continue refusing to do anything about the situation and keep telling us "its a civil issue" (even though its not, if you read Alameda's municipal code) and even ignore the fact that I already brought it up to my landlord and that he has already sent them a letter asking them to stop trespassing on our property and they continue doing it anyway.
In any other city they would have been cited by now but in Alameda they get free reign to break the law. It seems like no laws are enforced in this town period and anyone can break as many laws as they want with impunity.
I just arrived home on Tuesday (October 1st, 2019) to once again find that my neighbor has blocked his driveway with his pickup truck, and as we were coming into our carport we watched as one of the tenants in his building drove into our driveway to go around his truck.
Later that day they even trespassed onto our carport and were doing dangerous and i.l.l.e.g.al stunts on their motorbikes in our carport, which they have no legal right to be using whatsoever. I have a video of it included in one of my previous requests you can see for yourself.
Then again last night (Thursday, October 3rd) when I got home I saw that the owner of 2614 Central once again parked his truck in the driveway and was forcing his tenants into our driveway. Again. for the 700th time this year.
Then again tonight (Wednesday, October 15th), I got home and found his truck blocking the driveway again. His truck also still doesnt even have a front license plate, and he drives it like that in Alameda which is also against the law (not that our worthless police department or city government care, since apparently laws mean nothing to them)
Then again last night (October 16th, 2019) his truck was blocking the driveway again and his family and tenants were once again driving into our driveway to go around it all day, putting tenants in our complex in danger.
Then again tonight (November 4th, 2019), I came home and found the daughter of the owner of 2614 Central Ave parked her Infiniti QX56 SUV, which also lacks a front license plate which is likewise completely against the law in Alameda, blocking the driveway YET AGAIN. The problem HAS NOT BEEN RESOLVED AT ALL. Sgt. Foster has DONE NOTHING but prolong the issue while aiding and abetting my c.r.i.m.i.n.a.l neighbors as they break every law known to mankind.
The owner of this complex as well as several of his tenants and family members have consistently been parking vehicles in their driveway, completely blocking the driveway off and then proceeding into our driveway next door without our permission and using our driveway to go around their vehicles.
I have been regularly reporting this problem to APD since April 2018 and nothing has been done about it. The owners and various tenants of 2614 Central continue to i.l.l.e.g.a.l.l.y trespass onto our driveway next door and use it without the owner's permission to go around their vehicles.
They are also causing a collision hazard for tenants in our complex and have almost caused an accident several times swerving into our driveway from behind the fence that separates our properties.
The fence acts as a blindspot and there is no way for people exiting our complex to see their vehicles on the other side of the fence, and therefore have no warning when their vehicles sometimes rapidly swerve out into our driveway to go around their vehicles blocking their driveway.
The owner of 2614 Central Ave and his tenants need to learn that our complex is private property, it does not belong to them, they do not have permission to use our driveway, we have a big giant "no trespassing" sign posted out front which they conveniently ignore every time. They need to be made aware of the fact that our driveway DOES NOT BELONG TO THEM. They DO NOT have permission to use our driveway.
STOP USING OUR DRIVEWAY TO GO AROUND VEHICLES IN YOUR DRIVEWAY. If you want to block your driveway, fine! Be my guest! But if you need to get in or out of your carport, you need to use your own driveway to do that. If a vehicle is blocking you, you need to either move it yourself or ask whoever parked it there to move it or have it towed. You do not have the right to use our driveway without our permission to go around your vehicles in your driveway!
They need to learn this and soon.
Please make the trespassing and abuse of our driveway stop. We are sick and tired of it.
Thanks.
Note: If this issue gets closed I will simply resubmit it. Every time you close it Im just going to resubmit it. I will *NEVER* let this get swept under the rug. NEVER.

Hi KLynn, I'm aware of the city's current funding and staffing problems, but that is not why I say they're corrupt. I say that because I've consistently witnessed acts of outright public corruption and negligence by our corrupt police department.
Also, while they may be somewhat short staffed, they are paid very handsomely.
For example, Paul Rolleri, the Alameda Chief of Police, makes about $400,000 a year with our tax dollars and doesn't even live in Alameda. He actually owns a luxurious 4 bedroom estate in the quiet, peaceful and secluded affluent east bay suburb of Danville.
When we had a thief trespassing on our property and stealing from it, I repeatedly reporting it to APD to no avail. The thief would return weekly, sometimes multiple times a week, trespassing onto our property and robbing it.
I caught video footage of the thief and even shared it with APD.
For literally almost 2 years APD did nothing. They ignored me and the dispatchers would even give me snobby, rude attitudes when I called them. The dispatchers often hung up on me or put me on hold indefinitely. One of their more insidious tactics was to place me on hold, then take me off hold again momentarily without saying anything before reconnecting me to city hall (often times when it was closed, to boot). You would hear the hold music playing indefinitely for city hall's phone system (unlike the steady beeping sound you'd hear when holding with APD dispatch). Of course, when I hung up and called back, a different dispatcher would answer and take the call right away, revealing that there was no emergency or legitimate reason to put me on hold indefinitely, and it was simply a tactic by the dispatchers to dodge their responsibilities to the taxpayers who subsidize their salaries.
Eventually, after literally almost 2 years of non stop emails to the chief, city council, mayor's office, city manager's office, and even the county sheriff, as well as literally something like 15,000 police calls over the course of those ~2 years, I finally received a reply from Mr. Rolleri informing me that they finally cited the thief.
He used an extremely condescending tone, putting me down and trying to shame me for calling the police on the thief, who he referred to as a "poor old person just trying to make ends meet."
He then told me that he was going to personally pay whatever fines were imposed on her out of his own pocket, which is technically my pocket since my tax dollars pay his $400,000 annual salary and benefits package.
I really don't take the word "corrupt" lightly. I don't just throw this word around like it doesn't mean anything. I am well aware of what a serious allegation that is, and I am confident that the Alameda police department and our city government in general is a festering swamp of pure evil and corruption.
I don't want to turn this comment into a novel detailing every little incident that exposes our corrupt city government for the cesspool of vice that it is, but suffice it to say I've witnessed enough acts of public corruption and negligence from our city government in the time I've lived in this town to say with utmost confidence: the city government and police department of Alameda are hopefully corrupt, they do not serve the people of this island, they do not care about us, they only care about themselves and are here to exploit us as cattle to fund their retirements. I know a lot of people don't like to hear this because it is really unpleasant to think about, but it is true.
You can even ask the FBI. They already have multiple probes open investigating city and county officials for various crimes. Alameda county, and the city of Alameda, which is part of that county, is a festering swamp of pure corruption, pure evil. Our city officials are shameless parasites who drink the blood of the taxpayer, use it to finance expensive luxurious homes in affluent, faraway suburbs where they never have to deal with any of the problems we do while we're stuck here living in horrible environments with awful neighbors who victimize us daily, trespass on our property, vandalize and steal our property (.e.g prying my mailbox open and stealing my mail), we have d.r.u.g. addicts roaming around all over marina village, all over webster street, all over park street, defecating in public, vandalizing property, i.l.l.e.g.al.l.y dumping extremely dangerous biohazards everywhere. When they start publishing stories about Alameda youth contracting HIV from poking themselves on discarded syringes dumped in their playground by the brigade of d.r.u.g addicts chief Rolleri and our s.c.u.m.b.a.g. city government gave a free pass to take over our community, remember what I wrote here. Don't forget.
I really honestly hope the people of this town revolt. The only way to fix this town is to completely demolish and replace our existing city government, it is so far down this rabbit hole of vice and corruption that it is far beyond saving and must be completely dismantled and rebuilt from scratch.
