I'm as confused as you, why is it the city does absolutely nothing about this? There's another encampment near 36th and MLK where they've literally blockaded a city street! Is Oakland just going to let these people adversely possess city property?? I guess the answer is yes.

The City has been really good about responding to city issues via this website however when it came down to homeless encampment, either they close the service request with NO RESOLUTION or just do not pay attention anymore to the complaints. This is not just about the eye sore, this is about safety, hygiene and cleanliness of the city. I used to be able to walk some streets of Oakland but now that the homeless found their way to somehow live in the streets of Oakland, I do not walk in the streets anymore because of fear. To the government officials, you think you can walk the streets of Oakland still with the mushrooming of homeless encampments without fear? I don't think so too! This must be addressed right away!

The other states need to stop Greyhounding their crackheads to California.

All you guys are right. Oakland have a "Look-The-Other-Way" Policy and homeless campers know this. They are coming to Oakland in flocks!
