  There is no camping in parks according to the new homeless encampment policy effective jan 2021. Rebecca Kaplan, Dr. Daryel Dunston, and Nikki Fortunato Bas, please remove immediately, or your words have no credibility.

  Plus in regards to: "...Please do something to provide services for these folks in need..." No. we do not need to provide any more services. They choose to be like this. They choose not to get help. They want to live like this on the tax payer's expense. They don't want to follow rules, that's why they refuse shelters. There are already over 5 multi million dollar programs for the homeless in Oakland alone. Providing more "services" means they can use the tax payer money they get to continue to do their drugs and alcohol. because tax payers already pay for their medical, drugs, cleaning services, food, shelter, welfare, etc. Homelessness is a lucrative business. 90% are on drugs. They are not from Oakland. They only "identify" as Oaklanders, if you read the reports.

  Plus, who benefits monetarily from homelessness? homeless advocates do. Their foundation does, they get more "funds" from the city and state, get to vote for their own raises, and use tax payer money unchecked, under "non-profit." non-profit means they have little "profit" but that also means that if they misuse funds like give themselves say...a 200% raise, that means their foundation didn't "make any money" so they can keep the "non-profit" status, but in reality, they spent it on each individual employee or the CEO, and still spend the same amount on actual homeless services.

  Politicians can continue to p1mp them out for votes. But look, after all this word salad, the homeless population went up from 2017 to 2019 by 47% increase. So, why do we continue to dump more money into a problem, and see the results get worse?

  Also, the homeless can continue to do their recreational bad habits because they will never starve, food given to them in shelters, by passerby, by "volunteers," if they get sick, they go to the hospital for "free" in expense of the taxpayer. Also, our pharmaceutical companies give them "free" needles and drugs. The politicians line their pockets with "sanitation services" contracts, etc.

  In addition to all this, the politicians only establish homeless shelter and homeless services strategically in lower social economic neighbors. Zipcode discrimination. Systemic classism. So the elites can continue to spout their virtue signalling "morals", but their quality of life are not negatively affected. Meanwhile, the lower social economic neighbors suffer the burden as a continuous dumping ground for garbage, drug addicts, crime (drugs and drug lords territory), graffiti etc.
  If you feel that homeless need help, our tax money should not be given to non-profits and government programs. It should just be by charity. The individual's choice.
