They do it because they can..

Noticed yesterday, more trash accumulating down there.

Oakland doesn't seem to care. You'd think that the Jewel of Oakland would be spared from this crap, but OMG Libby might get people flustered. I say the city is aiding illegal activity

There's only 3 people to work on this according to:

I mean 3 people for the whole city - so it's no wonder it takes a long time given the enormity of the problem.

Mayor Libby in denial. Tiny houses did not work, they were burned or left on corners throughout Oakland. She needs to try an encampment like Seattle. City owned lot, city provides sanitary facilities, garbage pick up, they govern themselves, but they r in a spot all together instead of on every corner. Eventually they r helped to find a place and they clean up the surrounding neighborhood.

This can be closed - the encampment is gone. Thank you Oakland DPW!

Well, they are back. It used to be they would wait a couple of days to re-encamp, but now they come back the same day.

That's the cat, mouse game they play

Some come right back. Then others notice and set up camp as well. Enforcent check needs to be every evening.

Start issuing stay away orders. Parks are not for camping
