- West Oakland residents say they were never consulted about a city-sanctioned homeless encampment that sprang up in their neighborhood. In a KPIX Original Report, Susie Steimle presses city leaders for answers.
The wealthy politicians never let them move to their areas
Ten Eleven - yes, smart people usually make more $ , (and wealthy politicians), ...know enough to keep the criminals & diseased un-washed as far away from themselves as possible.,...and you don't see any of your music or TV stars living near them either., ...neither would ANYBODY with the brains & money enough to avoid them.,...virtue-signaling libtards included.
Michael Houston yes so they put them in working class areas and in lower class such as these. I can’t tell if you’re justifying it by your comments or not. Gavin Newsom and his liberal ilk helped this along with sanctuary cities.
Homeless Industrial Complex. Big Business for Politicians can't take the Politicians bread and butter Business.
1:36 Notice how she has no solutions? And what is her salary? We pay these people that much to do nothing? This is in all 50 states. It's a national epidemic and politicians are still only interested in how it benefits them. And now we are all in a perpetual election cycle. Politicians lying carte blanche 24/7. Don't denigrate the homeless. Denigrate and despise the people we elect, who are doing absolutely nothing.
politicians are welfare leeches getting fat off the tax payers dollars. why provide a cure when you can sell treatments?
Put the camp next to the mayors house
How about living at Pelosi's vinyard???
walls are bad and don't work
Would
@@maxiepattie85 yes walls do work, but the homeless is the topic not illegals.
Lmaooo!😂
Well the mayor has to protect the illegal immigrants first!!!!
@ric234100 what does that undercut thing mean? In what way or how?
Legit question, not looking for an argument incase the question sounded like one lol
psykotikoutlaw well said
@@angellopez7055
So you think it's fair that illegals are getting treated better than citizens?
poundu27 in which way do they get treated better???
NeoPrince2015 Why focus on “illegal immigrants” ? Surely most of these people are just that “homeless”.
really? shocked? No wonder you keep voting against your best interests.....you're all slow on the uptake.
And the media seems in on it also, they cover for the politicians stealing those millions of dollars.
There's homeless in Republican states too stupid
@@americansniper1641 at least they try to maintain a low number. Compared to let's say liberal cities hehehehe.
@@armin3620 I lived in Alabama for a while in the winter companies give the homeless free bus tickets to California iv seen them happen
We keep voting? I wonder. There are really so much voter fraud, cheating in California; dead people, illegals....
is it just me or do these homeless people sound remarkably thoughtful and centered. I guess not working 80 hours a week like the rest of America keeps them from being stressed out like everyone else. I have to admit im kind of jealous.
If you continue to throw money at a homeless problem, you are trying to put out a fire with gasoline. Get them some land outside of the city to camp out at. The ones who go deserve help, the others are drug addicts.
Not much land outside city that doesn't belong to a national park and plus those people outside city don't want them neither. The major problem is overpopulation and not enough land
You think they will push their carts for miles between the city and camp daily?
@@insomthegreat no
@@insomthegreat You are right. Those that do not have cars will have a long hike into the city for food, and any benefits they are entitled to. Such a camp would need supervision so the troublemakers are put out.
Great idea!!!😉

Los Angeles
Orange County

The list goes on and on with Democratic Party control of city government and the results they’ve brought.
High crime, high homelessness, high taxes, high cost of living.
Minneapolis too
And now Phoenix
Dayon, Cleveland, Philadelphia, Austin, any other Afrititus-plagued rot-hole cities everyone stays away from.

THANK the Rich!!!
Start a homeless soccer team.
lmao
Yeah
I wonder if they would approve homeless encampments in their own neighborhoods. Libby? Hello? No?
I spend more and more on birdseed to feed the birds in my yard, but it doesn't do any good. Instead of solving the problem of hungry birds, it only seems to attract more. If only I had enough money to buy MORE birdseed, surely that would relieve their hunger so they could go away, right?
@Elevated Status 🤦🏾♀️
@Elevated Status I think its a great analogy. A sarcastic one but still great. What he is saying is all these places in Cal. spend all this money trying to help the homeless only ending up attracting more and more homeless then coughing up more money to handle the increase in homeless. If you keep shelling out the cash you just might succeed in attracting all the homeless to Cal. But hey, dont dispare. Oregon and Washington are insanely jealous and doing their best to out bid you.
Elevated Status The analogy is over your head.
I have the same problem with cats.
That's right!
I feed the birds,
more birds come,
attracts cats,
cats eat the birds,
make more cats.
So,
I feed the cats to save the birds!
It's the liberal policy that creates this type of Pelosi-town results.

@@far574 it's just the truth, notice all liberal cities have the same issue. Simple observation, anyone with an internet connection can see by doing ones research from multiple sources. Also when the truth gets pointed out, those that are guilty get butt hurt.
J Parker don’t forget, the finger also points at Newsome, Feinstein, every SF mayor for the last 20 years and so on and so on. If you support these lunatics you better point the finger at yourself too.
J Parker yes you are right. . I do finger point. I finger point to policies that are created by public servants that are patronizing to the brainwashed liberals that think communism and socialism is the direction we need to head toward. When the shit hits the fan and the UC Berkeley educated socialists take over, do you think people like Pelosi and Newsome will be around? Nope. They’ll take all the money they made and move to the paradise they’ve bought multiple home at all the while the rest of the US will be like a scene from Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome.
I come to this conclusion because in the minds of liberals, I’m wondering where the wires crossed. Something is missing. A thing called common sense and logic. Example. On what planet does this make any sense? Bizzaro world were everything is backwards perhaps? San Francisco spends MILLION of taxpayers money to hand out “free” needles so junkies can shoot up all over the city. Now the city is littered with millions of needles a year all over the streets and even found in the sand at Ocean Beach and CHILDREN’S PLAYGROUNDS! Yeah J Parker...go take your kid to walk barefoot at the playground and when he/she get stuck with a dirty needle I’m sure you won’t be “pointing any fingers” The “solution” the mayors office has to this is.... of course...... let’s pull another 4 million dollars a year to clean up all the needles they pass out in the first place. When syringes in the streets is 100% legal and plastic drinking straws are not, I question those in office and what their true agenda is. How are is that for you to understand.... without finger pointing of course.🤷🏻♂️
This is friggin ridiculous!
Instead of helping them NOT be homeless, or addressing the issues that lead to them being homeless, let's just move them around each time the residents complain!
Ikr
Just wait until someone child is hurt 😢 😢😢
Why wait?
Family with children are homeless? Imagine my shock
Maybe all that money isn't getting where it needs to be. Imagine that.
It’s going straight into those blue politicians pockets
Is anyone really shocked anymore? This is the new normal. Get used to it kids. 😃
New normal for a libturd like you.
Mike Mcorky this comment made me laugh so hard lol , fucking liberals
Trump 2020 will knock the liberal left back into the Stone Age where they belong by the time his second term is over in 2024. All of this SJW nonsense and Blapp Lives Matter will be a distant memory by 2024.
Move them to Oakland City Hall since the Mayor created this !
You will not find any homeless, near Mayor Libby Schaff's home.
Oakland lost the raiders the warriors and all they have left is a homeless third world sanctuary city. Great job Libby Schaff.👎
I hope they can figure it out and keep the A’s
The first line of this piece basically says "People are surprised and shocked that subsidizing something makes more of it."
The approved location is not next to the Mayor’s home😜
With such a low unemployment rate, should those homeless people take some responsibility for their own life?
Most of them are drug addicts. People who wanna better themselves really do.
Then turn the athletic park into a giant homeless camp. Kid exposure problem will be eliminated LOL.
Saves on those vaccinations! Win Win for the liberal anti-vaxxers
Pat Taylor I highly doubt a conservative would think vaccines are bad😂😂😂 it always makes my day when liberals are blind to how majority of the country knows they are crazy and they think so many people think like them.
Pat Taylor maybe because you don’t get vaccines in your adult life😂😂😂 only if you go to a 3rd world country😂😂 definitely a liberal. Republicans don’t want someone uneducated like yourself voting for our side. Go take your 60 year old uneducated mind to the democrats they accept your kind
That's actually a great idea. Why do they need a soccer field?
Whaaat? A solution for homeless people?? You are your own solution! You are either willing and able to do better for yourself or not! Accountability!!
That's because the homeless doesn't get any of that money it trickles down through the people who work for those programs.
Gentrifier upset with the people he priced out the irony
Hu Fair How about that 🤨
GARSH! Why won't they just leave the area??! *This* is *not* why i moved into the hood
Millions of dollars are NOT poured into programs only a couple thousands are. The vast vast majority of our taxes go to the politicians of California.
This a half ass way to deal with the situation. We need some real action from the politicians they get paid well enough to do their job.
All public parks in Oakland should be made into homeless camps. Poor you your kids can’t play Soccer. Well a place to live is more important then Soccer. Till Oakland and California can provide luxury condos for all then it needs to stay illegal to harass homeless people such as Stealing their stuff, eviction, forced clean ups.
Really? You don’t want them in your neighborhood? Keep voting Democrat
......make California great AGAIN.
"Despite millions of dollars pouring into programs to help the homeless, their numbers continue to multiply." - This is, of course, the opposite of how reality works. The easier you make it to be homeless, both economically and socially, the MORE homeless you will have. Just as welfare makes it easier to stay poor instead of working you're way out of it. And the more you will attract from neighboring areas where it's not so easy.
Of course, some people will always say "why would anyone choose to be homeless or stay poor?" People with a different value system than you have, that's who. And the easier you make it to park in an expensive area, the more people will park. That's why government throwing money at a problem never works. It always attracts even more people who want the free money. Go figure.
Alan B , this is known as the Homeless Industrial Complex. There is a lot of money to be made at this racket.
@@milesmayhem5440 And a lot of it goes to the salaries of people who now also lobby and agitate for even more money to be spent. They don't seem to be getting anything else done.
So less of a safety net will solve the problem, is that right? Have you an example, anywhere in the world, when that has worked, cause I have lots where the opposite is true.
Pauly - a safety net will help but it should be temporary. You can help a person all you want but if they don’t have the motivation to help themselves, then their situation won’t change. Example Welfare. People have made it a career and it wasn’t designed to be that.
"Creating sanctioned homeless camps to combat the rising homelessness", no way: give them a job picking up garbage on $15 / hr. Lower the rent by giving leasors tax breaks, or create more low income housing. 55% is not a success rate, last time I checked that was failing in school.
Nestor Gerales it is a cancer.
It's gonna be right in your back yards before to long! Wow, homelessness is getting bad every where. Way to go democrat voters! Way to go.
Welcome to liberal land, coming to a town near you.
If all the GOOD heart Democrats and liberals can take in even 1 homeless person per Democrat member to their home as they always preached , we won't have homeless problem.
Congrats California, you played yourself.
When are the voters going to say, we had ENOUGH !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Homeless dude got an iPhone. Californians deserve it! They keep voting or not go to the poll to elect these democrats, then they own it.
phone costs a few hundred bucks and they need that if they want to get a job - housing costs here over $2,000 a month on average. do the math - it is not the phone why we are in this mess.
Politicians sound like a Snoopy show. Everything out of their mouths sounds like wah wah wah wah wah wah blah.
Oops. Not Snoopy. Charlie Brown. Whatever. It all sounds like bull shit.
OMG! That was my high school buddy Daniel on the street (1:59). His favorite song back then was "Dust in the Wind."
I hope I can find him and help him get back on his feet.
They need put these homeless in rehabs and mental help hospitals.
A lot of them are going through something that they need help in.
Same in Austin. City lets them camp anywhere on sidewalks. Quit promoting it as a lifestyle.
Californians took over Austin I heard, some of the silicone valley techies moved to Austin because it was much more affordable to live there. Now they will proceed to turn it into the paradise they left in California complete with the high taxes, homeless problem and poop on your streets now.
@@tenabarnes3269 I am a native Texan and it has already happened my friend. Honestly there is very little difference now.
@@christianbrother4724 so sorry the only thing you can do is rally everyone you can to vote them out and that includes in your local county and city governments also, much love and prayers to you from Georgia.
@@tenabarnes3269 Thanks, Austin used to be an affordable, livable city but no more. The good news is that the council is becoming so outrageous with their policies that people are slowly waking up. God Bless.
So what is your solution? Do they come live in your house instead?
Why Schaff is still in office shows you how much Oakland residents even care.
Because she promises the deadbeats of Oakland free shit.
Wait until one of the kids get typhus....
Near a soccer field....reallyyy!?
How about the desert.....
I saw an article from the LA Times on May 21st that said our Gov. while visiting Oakland CA, and Mayor Schaaf, touring the Oakland Henry Robinson Multiservice Center has announced a homelessness task force. I disagree with how we are currently handling the homeless and in Oakland California is an example of how the current system does not work. If you look at why people migrate to this country, why we work so hard at our daily lives it is because the conditions where we came from were so un-barrable we made ourselves change. To do what it took to not live in poverty. The people that should get our help are the Vets and the elderly. But the young and the able should work for it. The small percentage of people that can’t fend for themselves are not what burdens our current resources, where in fact most of our resources are being consumed by the able body folks who have become lazy by all the handouts and the drug addicts habits are being supported by different programs in communities like Oakland and San Francisco. Enough of our tax dollars are being spent on this! What we need is the implementation of a reward system. Just like when we were kids, if you did good your parents rewarded you.
It is imperative that the first step be enforcement of the laws of the land and not to allow encampments that are destructive or obstructive. This is under California Penal Code 647(e) by allowing them to set up shop you are allowing them to vandalize and bring down the area to an unsanitary level. They need to just be moved on. They will get tired of this…
The second thing would be to look at the social services issue that just fuels this behavior. Our social service moto of giving with no participant contributing back is the very root cause. We need to reform it all, so it is not of a socialism moto but directly teaches and rewards for proper outcome and reintegration into our capitalist society. We have a serious skilled labor issue in this country, and we have the bodies to change it. All you need is proper motivation. Abolish the generational welfare system and mandate drug testing to receive any monetary or housing services.
When you talk about motivation and the shortage of skilled labor, it would be great if you set up a community where you train them for jobs like carpenters or plumbers or even commercial truck drivers. Most of the trucks going from coast to coast have sleepers and gives them an opportunity to put down roots where they can afford it. It would also help to set up a childcare center for the men and women who may needed while they are training for their new career. You must set time limits and boundaries. You must have them understand that this is going to be partially funded by the state and in return when they get back on their feet, they will need to pay back either financially or hours of community service and clean up. People feel emasculated by being unemployed and in a poverty-stricken situation. Instead of just throwing more money to it, let’s restructure this whole program so they contribute and feel better about themselves. You will easily be able to tell who wants to make a better life for themselves and who is happy living on the taxpayer’s dime. If they so choose a lifestyle of poverty it is up to you as the government to enforce the laws on hand to make vagrancy go away. No free handouts and yes, they need to work just like the rest of us.
Thank you for your time
The state's motto should be . . . EVERYBODY IN CALIFORNIA IS WELCOME!!! (just not in my backyard or when it affects me)
Why not raze city hall for the encampment? It'd be an improvement over what's there now.
Frisco hands out free Tuff Sheds (what non-druggies put the lawnmower in) and puts vagrant druggies in them and then declares them to be "housed permanently". Am I the only one who sees humor in this?
Pdx is bad like this all over the place
1:10 homeless person with earbuds. What a joke.
That’s a crime??? MAGA 😂😂😂😂😂
Chheng Kong, It’s not a crime. It’s the fact the person is homeless but he has a set of expensive earbuds. I suppose he has an expensive iPhone also.
Ken Grantham He also looks like an abled man who could work doing something besides shitting on the sidewalk.
Maybe he bought them before he was homeless and kept them after he lost his home? No one starts out homeless. Of all the issues to address this is your main concern???
The residents need to get involved with helping the city solve its homeless problem, this problem is everyones problem.
I don't trust anyone who talks with their hands that much (like the lady mayor)... without saying anything useful.
The churches are empty 6 days a week.
So is your mind.
@@sandraproctor854 Why so rude? Is it because you're a Christian?
& they have parking lots and community rooms.
Can't afford rent, yet have the money for drugs daily. Then blame the government for not helping. What a waste.
Summer will come and go and this same nothing will have changed. it will only grow bigger. Thanks California
There ya go Cali ! Keep voting Demacrap !
It's working really well isn't it ?
What a joke !
Average cost 1 bdrm rent in Oakland = $2600
$15 min.wage
X 160 hrs =
$2400 (before taxes)
Damn , that's fucking crazy . No wonder there are so many homeless. Something HAS TO BE DONE.
Ahh.. the blessings of Democrats in charge !
Sadly, most of the money that supposed to go to mitigate the homeless situation goes right into the pockets of local politicians. There's to many people making to much money from the homeless situation the way it is for anything substantive to be done about it. A lot of people in power like things exactly as they are.
You should learn the difference between to and too and when to use them in grammar
Why not just build homes to rent that are affordable to people on low incomes?
Land, labor, and materials are very expensive.
Give them a home. Then what’s next? They can’t live off their good looks can they? They won’t get a job, nor work to support themselves. Most are junkies. These low income homes will all become trap houses eventually. That’s how you take millions of tax payer money and turn millions in property value into a wasteland. Any other bright ideas? 🙄
Peter Perfect take a look at the housing projects
who's going to pay for that shitty idea? when we can just give them the spaces currently occupied by non American citizens.
It's the same reason financial advisors aren't interested in helping the poor, there's no money in it. If you owned an apartment which has a market value rent of $1500 a month, would you rent it to someone that can only afford to pay $800 a month or would you rent it to the person that can pay $1500 a month?? The fact that everyone puts a dollar sign on real estate and they don't want to rent it for under market value as a result.
Arrest the drug addicts, put them through a mandatory drug rehab center. The people with mental illness, put them in mental health facilities and get them back on meds.
I agree with 1 of the comments here, without a "MORAL COMPASS", you'll continue dealing with these issues.
It sounds like you want to criminalize poverty. Would you agree that every human being should have food, water and place to sleep and poop? These people have next to nothing and you want to take away their freedom as well? The US has 5% of the worlds population and 25% of the people that are incarcerated. It has one of the worst social safety nets in the developed world. I don't mean to pick on you, but I just can't stand the argument that giving them even less, treating them like animals is somehow going to solve anything. Why are Americans so convinced that they have all the answers. You don't see this sort of thing happening in Denmark or even Cuba yet for some reason it is because you are giving them too much? That you are too kind to them?
Not many can afford the cost of living in California

@@funkychicken2119 I agree, but having an addiction smells just as bad as everyone else's shit also.
Somehow immigrants are able to afford housing
I got an idea. Why not reopen Alcatraz island as a new homeless shelter encampment for the entire Bay Area! They get free transport to the location and ever person will be provided a room and we provide a weekly Food Drop to the new island residents. They can use all the island has to offer free of charge! You just can't ever leave once you arrive.
You know what will help?
More Democrats.
Hahahaha
Only a few years ago I managed the construction of that soccer field. Now its a disaster, people crapping in plain view, trash all over the place, Druggies, along side kids???
Keep voting Democrat and this is what you get. Illegal immigrants get more attention & help than U.S. Citizens. *Remember:* Every Democratic presidential candidate raised their hands in agreement to give illegal immigrants health care.
But too many blind people hear to vote any different
Eyesores & services MUST BE MOVED.

Put them in jail that's what used to be done
Sounds like a Cali problem to me. Oh well, next story please
On one news station the people said they are getting paid to live like this.
You must protect the rats from the homeless. Everywhere that rats live, homeless set up camp and try to push them out.
Nothing is helping the homeless these politicians dont have common sense. Build out in the desert put them out there with housing medical rehab and church for spiritual help JESUS they need him more than anything. Make them stay or go to jail. And stop putting illegals ahead of us citizens the mayor's are giving migrants first dibs people wakeup.
bruh district 9 IRL
Are any of the sanctioned homeless encampments outside the city council or mayor's residences?
Here's my solution..feed the homeless with soylent green

It's all about money and no more leaders exist.
Dude said rodents 😂
Yep, yep 🐭

Wait till the big earthquake hits and makes everyone homeless😂
YOUre right hope it happens level the playing field so to speak...ha ha
F of Parts A-F The homeless-shelters are powered and heated with butane and solar-panels, depending on how well the infrastructure held up, which are integrated into the construction of the _homeless-shelters._ Which are a dry, clean, safe place to sleep, and store their stuff. People from the city drive out to the *Homeless-Shelter-Villages* [HSV] to pick up food bank food; because that is where the food banks and free-ice machines are located.
Take them all to Coachella and Burning Man. Just don’t bring them back. They would do well out there .
or how about kick out the illegals and use those spaces for these American people. these people don't have shit. But some how we have room for illegals. Foh
Then help them out and find them find a home. They should not be forced into this.

"Dae canute say nuttin". Immigrations finest. Tax payers right.. lmao
It failed because you didn't support them. Give them a dignified permanent bathroom and shower and other services to maintain sanitary and safe conditions. Really, just help them obtain dignified housing and employment that is flexible enough to accommodate their limitations and disabilities, yet high paying enough to maintain somewhere to live.
Make it snow every day and see if they move to a different area. Homeless live where its warm.

These are the component to create *Homeless Shelter Villages* [HSV] using _Pallet Shelter's_ existing HSV products: the _Community Room_ sells for $37,000, the _Bathroom_ costs $35,000, and the _Services Office_ costs $9,000.
