Description
If the city cannot find alternative space for the encampment dwellers in Mosswood Park, the city needs to do a better job of keeping the area clean. Trash everywhere, piles and piles. There are now not one but two private cars that appear to be permanently parked on the sidewalk behind the amphitheater. The amphitheater is quite literally trashed (see pic). There was a knife fight yesterday that broke out in front of the Kaiser Pediatrics building that overlooks this mess. Reportedly it was encampment dwellers. Literally children witnessing the inability of adults to keep them safe and traumatizing them. Shame on our elected leaders to fail their community so poorly.

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.
