Homeless camp is completely out of control. Constant drug dealing, garbage, side shows, illegal fireworks, etc. This really needs to be cleaned up.

It is called ZIP CODE DISCRIMINATION
Dear Mayor,
It is not good for one's well being to be constantly subjected to piles of garbage, filth, graffiti, homelessness, human feces, hypodermic needles. You have the power to help to improve people’s quality of life/their mental health by using laws, regulations, and codes already in place that if they were enforced would help to do that.
Please write to the Mayor officeofthemayor@oaklandnet.com
lschaaf@oaklandca.gov.
The more people that write the more she may understand that ZIP CODE DISCRIMINATION is no longer acceptable in Oakland.

A San Francisco law school, business owners and local residents are suing the city to force it to clean up the Tenderloin neighborhood — alleging an almost 300 percent spike in homeless shanty towns, drug dealing and feces-covered sidewalks have made conditions “insufferable.”
The lawsuit, filed in federal court May 4 by a group of plaintiffs led by the University of California Hastings College of the Law, seeks a court order to stop the city from using Tenderloin neighborhood as a “containment zone” for homeless encampments.
“Open-air drug sales and other criminal activity, plus crowds of drug users and sidewalk-blocking tents, pervade and threaten the health and lives of all of the Tenderloin’s residents,” the lawsuit reads. “What has long been suffered in the Tenderloin has become insufferable.”

Get as many of your neighbors involved. Collect evidence, such as complaint logs, ask for the incident number when you call the non-emergency line, take videos, photos. Send a formal complaint via a FedEx envelope to CM McElhaney, to Mayor Schaff, and the Department of Race and Equity.
Then contact The Environmental Law and Justice Clinic (ELJC) Tel 415-442-6630 or 800-GGU-4YOU. www.law.ggu.edu who's goal to improve environmental conditions for communities of color and low-income people.
When you file the suit make sure the local and national media is informed.

The homeless in Berkeley living in SHELTERS take precedence over the homeless living on sidewalks/streets/encampments in Oakland.
April 14th “At least 13 people staying in the Dwight Way Center homeless shelter in Berkeley were moved today into the Radisson Hotel on Edes Avenue near the Oakland airport, one of the Oakland hotels the state has rented to protect people from contracting COVID-19.
Residents of three other homeless shelters in Berkeley will be screened soon with the intent of moving people Wednesday or Thursday, according to an email City Manager Dee Williams-Ridley sent to Berkeley officials”…..Berkeleyside.

No masks or distancing here at all. Down 34th across from the store groups of the unmasked congregate. I feel for anyone that has to actually WALK past these spreaders of disease.
Why won't the city protect its citizens? Do they own stock in bodybag companies?
