Description
The conditions on greater Pearmain have been continuously shocking ever sense we moved our business here nearly two years ago,. It seems unabated in any form; wet garbage in the street now, rat fests coming soon; why do the business along this street not stand up on this? Perhaps it is time that we start realizing this is not going to change and the City is either incapable or unwilling to resolve the blight in this area? There are other places to move our business to, albeit we do not want to - but the conditions here are DEPLORABLE, like something you would expect in Somalia or a lawless state - and no amount speeches by politicians make up for the failure3to resolve this. SHAME on those who do this; but shame on the City for not attacking this with the determination that it requires to resolve this. This is unsanitary and unsafe and could spread disease.

Here is my updated photo set on this ongoing tragedy - Is it Somalia or is it Oakland?

PS no offense intended to Somalia per se, perhaps 'war zone' would be a more apt metaphor - either way I think those of us that work and live in this area have had enough, and must I think truly demand that the City take action and resolve this.
Curious - Why is the City only capable of making "form-acknowledged" comments on this site? It would be so much more respectful and effective if the City would engage the citizens in a conversation - that is at the heart of open and transparent Government; the impersonal "keystroke only" responses just don't cut it.
