Revisiting Oakland's largest homeless encampment on Wood Street after evictions

It was a f'in health hazard, how can anyone say it was something phenomenal, it was a literal garbage dump.

our country is feeding and housing migrants and leaving USA citizens homeless..what the hell is going on ...

i don't think we should take his word for it

Isn’t that a fire hazard

City will need 10 dump trucks a week to keep up with their demand.

It looks like just a dumping trash ground. The city should have put up tiny homes.

If I pay Oakland taxes and vote. I want that blight gone. Why are they demanding services when they don't pay taxes?

theyll be back

That Is Your Choice To be Addicted

Please help these folks😢 some of these people really want help and want to get out

How come this doesn’t happen in Utah?

Get off the drugs will solve their problems.

A lot of you really dont have a clue. I worked security inside a large encampment at the end of 77th in east oakland. I would guess a good 65 % of the people there were not drug addicts. Many of these people are old and disabled on fixed income. Many of those people had jobs. I felt very safe working there. One couple was raising a daughter in that encampment. There are many restrictions that may come with being offered housing or shelter. Like giving up pets or not having full freedom to come and go or move how you should be able to as an adult. There are a lot more working-class non drug abusing people living in tents than you think.

I remember riding the Bart and seeing that large encampment from the window as we past by

Nah. We don’t feel sorry for them anymore

Damn look at that metropolis

Everyone knows this spot what it is in reality cmon

Stop doing drugs and you'd be amazed at how little you get arrested.

Californias versuon of affordable housing

You the media praised Jerry Brown for his amazing work he did for Oakland. Yea right. I'd keep voting democrat. California is a great example.
