Transcripts
the city of Oakland is facing a
projected
$177 million budget deficit and some
worry that will mean cuts to programs
that help the unhoused the numbers show
the homeless population in Oakland grew
by 9% over the past two years while
other nearby cities in Alama County saw
a drop in homelessness Berkeley was down
20% Emeryville saw a 59% drop and
pedmont they were down
93% now that's according to the counties
point in time count they are not taking
care of the problem they are
contributing to the problem and this is
the problem this budget cut is only
going to make it worse a group rallied
outside Oakland City Hall today
demanding city leaders be held
accountable the city has received
millions in state funds to help deal
with the homeless crisis but
demonstrators say they've not seen any
results so we reached out to Mayor Shang
for comment on this but have not heard
back and people living in the city's FR
fail neighborhood are worried about a
growing encampment there police say the
trash abandoned cars and other debris
are just too much to deal with and they
can no longer walk there the area in
question is on East 8th Street between
fruit Veil and 34th avenus it began with
a single RV parked along the sidewalk
and has grown since neighbors told our
doll Lyn the sidewalk is now blocked off
and there was recently an incident
involving an axe
neighbors say they can no longer use the
sidewalk on East 8th Street near
Fruitville Avenue a car is parked on the
sidewalk there's also a bike and a bunch
of other stuff they walk into the street
to get in and out of their
homes the kids who are walking to school
have to get off the sidewalk because
they can't go through it's the only
sidewalk since there isn't one on the
other
side through a translator Hector Ugo
worries a car could hit his two little
girls neighbors and business owners say
it started out with one RV a few months
ago but it got bigger a second RV and a
couple of cars have since camped out on
East 8th Street they worry it could turn
into East 9th Street which is filled
with RVs and people living in cars and
walking through there it's it's a death
trap and when it starts going dark
forget about it there's no light there
it makes it even more dangerous
neighbors say this is the other route if
families don't want to walk into the
street but the alleyway is filled with
trash I think on Thursday we went past
that Tipping Point business owner evado
Rodriguez says on Thursday someone
vandalized a stolen or abandoned car on
the street cell phone footage also
showed a person using a rock to break
the driver side window a short time
later evado says a homeless man walked
out with what appear to be an ex in his
right hand to confront someone I'm
beyond frustrated I'm beyond
disappointed I'm beyond angry they say
they called the city multiple times but
no one has cleared the encampment it
goes beyond atrocious it's deliberate
how can the city not act I asked the RV
dwellers why block the sidewalk one man
says he'll tell his uncle to clean it up
I'll make sure that that gets cleared up
you know but no you're right absolutely
um kids need to walk by for their safety
the man says the RV dwellers don't want
to cause problems but they have nowhere
to go it's not the homeless people
bringing the trash destroying these
businesses um abandoning all these cars
councilman no algo met with avado about
the concerns he says the city is working
to clear the RVs on both East 8th and
9th streets that's on the clear list
they got to go this guy that started you
know he's from Missouri Canada all over
the country coming into Oakland cuz
we're allowing that behavior to happen
they shouldn't be on that street there
should not be because it's illegal to
block to sidewalk evado and the
neighbors hope the city will act fast
this cannot continue because it puts our
life in jeopardy a lot of neighbors tell
me they would like to move but they
lived here for a long time and they say
they simply cannot afford to leave so
now they're waiting for the city to do
something about
this authorities say illegal dumping
cost the city tens of millions of
dollars each year now earlier this month
a Statewide Conference was held in o
focusing on ways to limit the problem
experts gave presentations focusing on a
so-called three ease strategy which
includes education eradication and
enforcement it's been just over a year
since Oakland's Wood Street encampment
was completely cleared out coming up how
people who live there say they are
struggling since being kicked out and
he's been serving in the heart of
Oakland for four decades Bishop Bob
Jackson joins us live to talk about some
possible solutions for the city of
[Music]
Oakland welcome back to our conversation
on homelessness in Oakland now we know
it's something that can manifest into
other issues in the community for
example take this unusual hanging stop
sign at the intersection of East 12th
Street and 16th Avenue in the San
Antonio district now there used to be
stoplights there but after months of
malfunctions and outages the city
removed them the city says people kept
stealing copper from the electrical
boxes or even stealing the power we saw
someone running a wire from one box to
an RV parked on the street and neighbors
say the city's inability to clear a
homeless encampment is leading to safety
problems like this it's just telling us
that the CD is giving up on us we got to
stop just putting Band-Aids on things
although you know a Band-Aid is better
than bleeding out all right well the
city says the kind of awkward stop sign
are temporary but there's no timeline on
when they can put the traffic lights
back up and speaking of encampments it's
been just over a year since Oakland and
calr cleared out the one at Wood Street
at one point more than 200 people lived
there under the MacArthur maze
firefighters called it a hazard there
had been a number of fires there but the
people who lived in the camp said it
gave them a sense of security some told
us their lives have only gotten worse
since Wood Street was cleared out since
then I've been arrested um my addiction
is picked back up um it's embarrassing
to say but being transparent helps me
along the way I didn't use this some
people have it was not my choice I would
love to
pay I really would now when the camp
closed last year the city said 39 people
accepted shelter at cabins and 11 moved
to a safe RV program join me live now to
talk about the situation in Oakland is
Bishop Bob Jackson of actv gospel church
thank you so much for joining us
today hi thank you for having me so what
do you make of the homeless crisis in
Oakland you know it's interesting we've
spoken to a number of homeless Advocates
here in San Francisco across the bay
area and they often blame the lack of
affordable housing in their cities for
the crisis do you think that that's the
reason for the crisis in
Oakland well I think that has a lot to
do with a lot of it of course the
housing uh the homes and the also the
rent of the properties are Skyhigh the
rents here in the city of Oakland there
is some indication that the rents are
beginning to drop although they haven't
dropped a lot and but they have uh been
dropping lately so that's kind of a good
sign for homelessness and uh and so we
just have to talk to the land owners and
the landlords about what can they do
about trying to lower the rent at times
like this when we have so many people
who need housing and uh and are homeless
some of them are working they have jobs
and all but still can't afford uh the
rents uh for these apartments units that
are vacant right now now we did Cover
the sweep of the Wood Street encampment
last year most of the residents there
simply moved to either another part of
the town or placed in shelters but some
are still out on the streets so the
should the city have done more to take
care of those
residents well I think so since the city
was so concerned about homelessness and
they went online to say that uh you know
Oakland is a place for homeless people
come you know we'll take care of you
we'll be a sanctuary City for you etc
etc but they never took the time to
figure out what we're going to do when
we have the people responding and
actually coming to Oakland you can see
in Alama County they don't really go to
the other cities in Alama County they
seem to come to Oakland and they find
that they could live here and I think
it's great we have a lot of property
still vacant especially with Alam County
there's a lot of buildings that are
vacant that could easily be converted
into some kind of temporary shelter
temporary housing for the people but it
but it doesn't seem like everybody's on
board with what we can do about abating
the problem with homelessness and I
think that's one of the big problems we
can't seem to get County and City
working together and Port of Oakland
working together to help our crisis with
homelessness you mentioned more
affordable housing needs to be made
available to these individuals but I'm
curious do you think law enforcement
should also get involved
well there are some people I'm afraid
that law enforcement has to get involved
because of uh who they are what they're
doing Etc and just face it if they're
doing things that's against the law and
whatnot then it certainly ought to be
dealt with because we can't afford to
allow lawlessness to go on any more than
what is doing in our city and some of
them not all of them but some of them
are contributing to that and I agree
that law enforcement need to be on board
but I also believe that mental health
and and of course I'm an advocate for
the churches being on board as well you
know to pray with the people to minister
to the people and then the mental health
people coming in dealing with the
mentality the mental state of the people
I think working together with a
collaborative would do so much better
than what we have with all the different
silos that are working to try to evate a
problem that's bigger than any one
Department by itself you you talk a lot
about people working together either
from the city from the county from law
enforcement all these different agencies
I'm curious do you think the impass
there is a leadership issue or it's a
communication issue why do you think
these folks can't work
together I think it's a territorial
issue because it's not my territory it's
not you
know whatever the excuses are for not
working together is helping this problem
to continue and even grow worse because
of the failure of the leadership to say
wait a minute it's time for us to work
together we have the resources if we
work together we have the buildings that
we already own if we work together we we
can Abate the problem I I'm guaranteeing
we can do it but for some strange reason
coming together is more difficult than
trying to deal with the problem with the
homeless people so do you think these
large squeeps like we saw last year with
Wood Street are a good
idea I I only think that they cause more
problem in the sense that we have people
contained or not rather we have them in
a certain area where we know where they
are uh to me would be a great thing to
have them in a location where we can
help them work with them but when we
have a la enforcement to come in to
break up the encampments and stuff then
they scatter all over the place I don't
know if that helps them or not I'm
saying the resources that they actually
need the help that they actually need
now I don't know if they're able to get
it because they're scattered all over
the place I I think for them to be in a
certain area would be a great idea one
of the places I'm looking at is the
Oakland army base which is wide open no
one seem to be there doing too much of
anything a lot of land we still have a
lot of land in Oakland that could be
utilized you know to deal with
homelessness and to provide some type of
temporary shelter for the homeless
people and then for them to be able to
get the resources that they need the
help that they need to become successful
and M and and gaining a place for them
to stay I think everybody should have uh
should be entitled to have a residence
with a roof over their head so they can
be out of the elements and live
comfortably in some type of habitation
some type of home where they can call
their own I just think that that's part
of the American Dream all right Bishop
Bob Jackson thank you so much for
joining us thank you for having
[Music]
me another one welcome back to our
conversation on homelessness and and
some solutions new affordable housing is
coming to Oakland's Lake Meritt a
groundbreaking ceremony was held in
April the new development will have 91
apartment units 25% of them will provide
Supportive Housing for homeless families
and that money for the project comes
from the infrastructure Bond passed by
voters in
2022 and now that Oakland has an
agreement to sell its share of the
Coliseum property affordable housing is
in the works there as well the mayor
announced that the deal last week with
the African-American sports and
entertainment group the group plans to
buy the city's share of the property for
$15 million now part of this deal
includes a 25% affordable housing
requirement no timeline yet though the
Oakland A still own half of that site um
I'm under an NDA with respect to our
negotiations with the Athletics um so I
can't expand on that too much but I can
say that we are in healthy negotiations
and they've
continued the city still has to finish
paying off its share of the 1990s
renovation of the complex before any
sale of its share can be finalized that
will happen sometime next year and we'll
be right
[Music]
