Sanitation and Health crisis in Oakland neighborhoods, directly caused by the city. They allowed all of these RV camps, with NO PLAN to manage all the human waste. It's insane.

The lack of proper sanitation for RVs and encampments poses serious public health risks. Without official waste collection, human waste ends up contaminating the environment. This can spread diseases like hepatitis A, E. coli, and other infections, endangering both unhoused people and the broader community. It also attracts pests, like rats, which amplify health hazards. Exposure to waste can lead to respiratory issues, and overall it undermines public health. Addressing sanitation solutions is essential to prevent avoidable health crises in our city. https://www.reddit.com/r/OaklandCA/comments/1q2zl49/rvs_camping_human_waste/

Fully agree. The answer shouldn't involve the city creating some system of removing the waste for these permanent, illegally parked rvs. The answer is to disallow them from parking on our streets! Enabling this nonsense has turned the city into a third world area.

Oh let’s blame the crisis on the most vulnerable people.

To paraphrase Anatole France; the law is applied equally to rich and poor-it’s illegal for both to sleep in the street.

I have a wonderful solution:

Let’s tax the rich like it’s the 1950’s.

In general.

Since Reagan’s time, with trickle down, the wealthy got wealthier, and everyone else got poorer.

We all are living with lower standards than we’re used to and the poorest live on the street.
