Description
On 6th St at Jackson, illegal encampment start-up has taken root. This is one block from the new community cabin site that opened on Oak St. The new community cabin site is drawing in *new* illegal encampments to the neighborhood - the opposite of what Oakland city officials said the policy would be: no illegal encampments in the area of a community cabin.
These new illegal encampments get established & then just grow. It is amazing how much garbage gets generated & accumulated. Add in the tents, stolen shopping carts & recycling bins, and you’ve got a mess. Have a couple of new bike chop shops in the area too.
Jackson St between 5th & 6th is a mess. It is Mosswood Park v2.0.

They heard the news.
City Council voted unanimously to adopt a resolution to follow the CDC's COVID-19 guidelines on homelessness and not to clear encampments during this time, including taking away vehicles such as cars, vans, or RVs. It also: encourages encampment residents to set up tents / sleeping quarters with at least 12 ft x 12 ft of space per individual; ensures nearby restroom facilities have adequate sanitation equipment and remain open to unhoused neighbors 24/7; and ensures providing access to portable toilets and hand-washing stations.

Next community cabin or any city sanctioned camping area should be at City Hall, or in the neighborhood of the city’s elected officials or any city bureaucrat with the word ‘Director’ in their job title.
