This is what Oakland has become. How bout the homeless move to the Mayors house or city hall.

Please simplyblu these people do not want to lower standards any more they already have.

This is right on the side of the building my business occupies. After the numerous complaints we made, the police finally kicked him out. He just returned 1 week later. He is extremely aggressive
when approached, so we try to avoid contact as much as possible! He is holed up in an AT &T structure which was vandalized years ago. AT&T just left it there and didn't bother to board it up or remove it. We have called them many times to make it there problem but to no avail! This guys is accumulating more and more junk which just exasperates an already out of control, illegal dumping issue we have dealt with for years . We have spent thousands of dollars in dump fees to get rid of the garbage that accumulates just about every day on the side of our building. Just doesn't seem fair!

Sadly PWD will not contact code enforcement. Its up to the public to get the city and code enforcement to do there jobs. You will have file a complaint with code enforcement and stay on them to get AT&T to remove this structure. Its incredible how much stuff these street people can accumulate and disperse yet have no ability to work.

So agree David.

I drove by about 30 minutes ago and it was all cleaned up. Homeless guy and all his stuff is gone and the dumpster is locked and secure. Good job - well done! Congratulations to the City everyone for jumping on this.

Good job
