As community members, the building owners, PGE, need to maintain this building on a regular basis or contract to have a mural painted.

This is one of the poorer areas of Oakland and as a corporation, PGE should be actively involved in the community. Yet they fail to even maintain their own property.

I ask the city of Oakland to hold these corporations accountable and give back a small portion of their billions in profits to the people of Oakland and every community that they serve.

We West Oaklanders have got to pay close attention to the Mayoral campaign leading to the 11/4/14 voting. Our new Mayor's #1 PRIORITY SHOULD BE to clean up the 1.2 mile stretch from the Emeryville border to Grand Ave along San Pablo Avenue. As long as the candidate offers concrete plans for a place to house the "street people" so that unhealthy, drug addicted, mentally unbalanced, homeless people are not just littering San Pablo Ave and its side streets; and provides funding to keep this area clean, I'm pushing a drive (going door door) throughout West Oakland Neighbors, West Oakland Green Initiative (WOGI), West-Oak High School Athletic Booster Club for him or her to win; gotta make sure WHOMEVER is elected Mayor addresses THIS area of Oakland first and foremost.

It isn't just easy Oakland that needs attention. And it isn't the homeless that crest most of the mess.
Illegal dumping is mostly home owners and renters.
Graffiti isn't done by the homeless.
And most crimes are not committed by the homeless.
Yes, Oakland needs more services for the homeless but ALL the residents, including companies, need to RESPECT Oakland!

This PGE site is ALWAYS covered in tags. As soon as they paint it, it starts again.

PG&E has painted the building but, of course, the graffiti is back.
