Oakland City Council unanimously voted to approve the Encampment Management Policy, meant to “protect and serve all Oaklanders, sheltered and unsheltered, and to manage the adverse impacts of homeless camps by balancing the interests of all residents (i.e. unhoused, housed, business community).”
In fact, this policy was intended to reinforce laws that are already in existence in Oakland, but that are not being enforced by the city.
Enforcing the law consistently is a remarkable cost effective method to ensure community safety and quality of life. Sadly our city officials ignore this tenet in letting lawlessness pervade unabated.

Just blindly demanding that laws be enforced, without paying attention to the consequences, is not a sound approach.
Enforcing bad or unnecessary laws actually harms quality of life, both for the victims of the enforcement, and for others who suffer when resources are diverted from more legitimate and widely supported community priorities.
Imagine for instance if the cops were out there rigorously pulling people over and ticketing them every time a car or bicycle failed to come to a complete stop at a stopsign or light, failed to signal, or was going 5 MPH over the speed limit.
Would the community be happier and better off as a result? Hardly. A lot of people would be economically harmed, not to mention subjected to additional stress and the wasting of their time, while other needs went neglected.
