I'm reporting ongoing, recurring problems along 14th Street in Oakland, especially at 14th & Jackson and 14th & Oak, and a couple of blocks in each direction from Jackson. There's an encampment in this area with open drug use, and people walking by are regularly yelled at. As the attached photos show, there's a mattress and piles of trash dumped on the sidewalk, bags of feces left in the planter strips, and burn marks with fire debris under the overpass. This is right near an elementary school and the Oakland Main Library, so kids and families walk through here every day. This corner gets complaints constantly, and every cleanup has only been temporary. The problem keeps coming back. Residents here pay a lot to live in this neighborhood, and we're asking the City for a permanent plan for this area, not just another one-time sweep.
