- Beneath the Macarthur Maze in Oakland, there once stood one of the largest homeless encampments, providing shelter for over 200 people. Despite last year's eviction and ongoing struggles over the years, many continue to face hardship in the area.

It was a f'in health hazard, how can anyone say it was something phenomenal, it was a literal garbage dump.
They only got the people who were living in the west oakland houses during the 90's early 2000s moved the there and moved evryone else into thier old areas.
our country is feeding and housing migrants and leaving USA citizens homeless..what the hell is going on ...
George Soros-backed Democrats embezzling all of the money. Look it up. The entire perogative is to be laissez-faire to ANY KIND OF ENFORCEMENT WITH THE IDEOLOGY THAT IF THERE'S NO RULES, EVERYONE WILL JUST BEHAVE. NEWS FLASH FOLKS!! WRONG!
FJB is what's going on.
@@StevieD1x have heard him? He's lived there for 8 years, so it's clearly not a biden thing.
@@Dave05J It's a democrat thing, they own this
i don't think we should take his word for it
Never trust a junkie...
Isn’t that a fire hazard
City will need 10 dump trucks a week to keep up with their demand.
It looks like just a dumping trash ground. The city should have put up tiny homes.
If I pay Oakland taxes and vote. I want that blight gone. Why are they demanding services when they don't pay taxes?
Entitlement.
Did you think socialism was going to be fun?
@@giftedgreen2152 Our military that prevents China, Russia, and N. Korea is funded by a socialist policy. The police force is funded by socialist policies. The roads that you drive, stoplights, and basic infrastructure, funded by social policy. The laws that allow businesses from getting robbed by the mafia is funded by socialist policies. There are good things and bad things about socialism. Almost, nothing is red and blue, it has always been a million shades of purple. I would say if you are too heavy red or blue side your just a sheep and not really doing your own research.
They got pushed into that sitation by the current government taking away pay for all jobs that the area needs and paying people the area doesnt want to move in for jobs no one benefits from
theyll be back
That Is Your Choice To be Addicted
Have you ever been addicted to something?
@@andrewpaganno never it’s not my nature to be addicted to anything
@@andrewpagan I have and it was 100% a choice. Change your thinking you’ll change your life
If you’re shooting heroin then eventually yes you will be homeless
@@andrewpagan Have you ever taken RESPONSIBILITY for anything?
Please help these folks😢 some of these people really want help and want to get out
Nah, they would rather live in filth and do drugs.
How come this doesn’t happen in Utah?
They send their homeless to CA
@@magma7935 you invite them.
@@magma7935no they don’t man. 90% of homeless in CA are from CA. Utah is affordable. Junkies and bums can live in rv home s
@@magma7935 actually some of our best sloncers are the LDS of East Bay Area. WHAT!!??!?
Sponcers
Get off the drugs will solve their problems.
A lot of you really dont have a clue. I worked security inside a large encampment at the end of 77th in east oakland. I would guess a good 65 % of the people there were not drug addicts. Many of these people are old and disabled on fixed income. Many of those people had jobs. I felt very safe working there. One couple was raising a daughter in that encampment. There are many restrictions that may come with being offered housing or shelter. Like giving up pets or not having full freedom to come and go or move how you should be able to as an adult. There are a lot more working-class non drug abusing people living in tents than you think.
I remember riding the Bart and seeing that large encampment from the window as we past by
That's not true you can't see the wood street encampment from the bart.
No that wasn't wood street that is 7th Street.
@@user-kk7lp4mb5d And 7th Street is definitely visible from BART, considering it's elevated at that point.
@@eastbaykidd8574 wood Street is what we are talking about. See this is my point it's the old" You People " problem as in " All You People look alike" wood street is a random citizen INDEPENDENT RADICAL SHELTERING MOVEMENT. Not an encampment! It's intentional gathered and collected community. A homeless encampment is a temporary camping space inhabited by. Unhoused just staying a minute folk . We have a purpose ,an ethos ,spin ers,haters and fans,history ,installed themes ,fundraising,a community project contribution ,had businesses and services and political respects ( at least until 2021)
We are affiliated with other less invested camps by advocacy but we are not anywhere with in sight of Bart.
Nah. We don’t feel sorry for them anymore
Damn look at that metropolis
Everyone knows this spot what it is in reality cmon
Stop doing drugs and you'd be amazed at how little you get arrested.
Californias versuon of affordable housing
You the media praised Jerry Brown for his amazing work he did for Oakland. Yea right. I'd keep voting democrat. California is a great example.
"Insanity Is Doing the Same Thing Over and Over Again and Expecting Different Results", Albert Einstein. Elections have consequences, learn and vote differently.
Tweakers think the desrev everything
We need forced treatment centers, but we need to send our tax money to Israel instead
I know it's really confusing but there's actually leadership there the place was taken over during covid and people that weren't unhoused came in and took over for business reasons and that's why you see all that car debris and mess that was actually from a local juncker business moved in with his people I made a huge mess up our campus plan.. I was actually in negotiations with caltrans at the time that they began to close the Wood Street settlement. What street is always been an intentional community it has never been an encampment. I personally find it offensive to be called an encampment but I also found it offensive to be drowning in trash and debris when we had a chance to create something beautiful on beautiful land and offered that Land by the city of Oakland and for several years we were trying to prepare it but one or two or five of us are not enough to go up against particular recycle crime Lords and they're bulshit cuz when they're pissed at you they either set you on fire or they steal your RV. We've had 425 attacks of arson at Wood Street with absolutely no help from the administration when asked. Leaders were laughed at buy the new administration news media has been confused as to who to talk to about the situation. Conflicting views and politics have jumped in and set into our group insidiously and redirected it and have ruined Wood Street. Point of the Camps, and there were 10 different camps at the Wood Street people's Collective we can do an advocacy but was beset by helpful advocates and many unhelpful advocates. It seems as if they just wanted to use the land that we had achieved. I have been The advocate for over 11 years leadership for Wood Street has been in the surrounding municipality communities bunch of old school logos who give advice for Black Panthers I joined the group as a Burning Man veteran of over 25 years and together we made a very successful Wood Street. It wasn't until the gentrifiers started swamping into the neighborhood getting ready to build these affordable housing which is just another word for lofts. We lost our ability to move into these buildings because they pushed displaced people to the back of the list of people that they would want to live in our neighborhood.I see so many snide and unrealistic unenlightened commentary coming from the public and it makes me sad because we have changed people's minds for many years we started building from the stuff left in the illegal piles as a statement as we were considered trash we've built our houses out of trash but we built some very interesting sculptural things that were statements against gentrification we have been allowed to live here for many many many many many many many many many many years and the City of Oakland
One Billion dollars Grants from the United States treasure will house every homeless person on the streets each year .
The liberals could get a job...What was I thinking?
Liberals that’s all I got to say.
Disgusting and long overdue
