Antioch

Homeless encampment on the railroad right of way next to the Animal Clinic on A Street.
The city needs to create a point of contact between the railroad security department and the City of Antioch so that these continued encampments can be dealt with in a more expedient manner. This is not a good image for the Animal Clinic.

This abandonded property has been an eyesore and neighborhood nuisance for years. The windows are broken. The paint is peeling. The gate is falling off. Neighbors have complained to various city departments for a long time.

We heard the city has approved a homeless encampment. Is this it?

The homeless CITY is totally out of control. Yeah we all understand this is on railroad property and that the homeless are hands off, but this is a GROWING HEALTH HAZARD for the community and neighbors that have to see, hear and smell the filth. There is a mountain of trash and the number of tents are increasing. Our Council must take control of this and NOW. The Council was elected to among other things maintain a safe and healthy environment for its citizens, this isn't it. The Council must direct staff to coordinate with the railroad to keep this area clear of this hazard on a permanent basis. Nowhere in Bentwood, Oakley or Pittsburg do you see these tent cities at railroad crossings. I would assume they don't allow it or are in constant contact with the railroad to keep these things under control in their communities. Another thing that leads to the growing mountain of trash are people dropping off items to the homeless. Those items that are not wanted end up in the trash heap. Citizens of Antioch, you are not doing the homeless any favors and are certainly contributing to the problem. Get it done, either through coordination with the railroad or advise the railroad the City will contract to have it removed. TBA

the homeless camp behind central self storage has scattered a large amount of trash around there tents. this is terrible. its one thing to need a place to sleep but another to trash out a entire area. this leads to rodent, bugs, and wild/stray animals . we need to do something about this problem. just pushing people down the tracks is not working. it hurts are businesses, it hurts are city, it hurts are people. the homeless problem is out of control. we need to do something about this now

Homeless encampment behind Antioch Mini Storage. Red tent and garbage is starting to collect back there.
