Apparently the city considers this acceptable surroundings for those of us living in West Oakland. The city has done nothing about the many sidewalk encampments I've reported over the past few months. Anyone else noticing this?

Ever since the small homes for the homeless started appearing, it has gotten worse. There has been one of the small homes sitting on the side of Wood Street that caught fire & the city won't remove it.

I have visited many cities and countries, theses are the dirties streets I've seen.

Foxhound, I think you are right, the "doghouses" are compounding the problem, making the encampments more deeply entrenched.

As this is an election year these problems of Illegal dumping, Vandalism and the Street zombies need to be front and center where ever the candidates are speaking. Time to take Oakland back.
