I doubt anything will happen from reporting on this site. I recommend looking up the beat police officer on oakland web site. Listed is phone # and email. If nothing happens then I recommend getting hold of district representative. It is very difficult to get people out of cars and houses especially if owners are not around. It might take a long time.

Code enforcement 238-3381, The more complaints the better. Maybe they will take there jobs more seriously before we have another tragedy. Reporting on SCF lets more people know there is a problem and is part of a data base that is not controlled by the city.

totally agree with you.
squeaky wheel gets the oil.
I had problems with homeless encampments in past and issue took a long time to resolve. In the end Larry Reid came down himself and helped resolve problems.

The City of Oakland Call Center has referred this issue to CODE ENFORCEMENT,. Please contact that department to follow-up (see "Other Helpful Links" at http://www2.oaklandnet.com/Government/o/PWA/Connect/ReportaProblem/index.htm#Links).
