The city is allowing the homeless to do as they please. Taxpayers mean mouthing to the city. These people don't want housing but they want to camp outside everyone's door and make a mess. When r the homeless going to be cited like regular folks. Give them community service

Dear Sir or Madam,

Thank you for contacting the Oakland Call Center, but additional information will be needed before your service request can be processed. Are these items on the sidewalk or on private property? Also, if the items are on the sidewalk, what color are the waste management containers? This information will help us better process your request. Your assistance in this matter is greatly appreciated.

Thank you

City of Oakland staff, illegal dumping is illegal dumping, whether on private or public property. Just remove the stuff from this person's home.

Thanks for responding. While the city twiddled its thumbs, I found the man sitting on his cell phone last week by his pile of junk and asked him to move along. Fortunately he complied -- possibly less out of respect and more because of the storm! Last I saw this pile had a new home beneath the freeway on Claremont.
Next time, please look at the attached photos that actually show the trash bins I described and where the pile was located off the sidewalk and next to my garage --it was leaning against my home and fence!
