    I am John Sander of 12th & Pine St, West Oakland.
    Concerned about Wood Street from 7th St to Emeryville

    Homeless encampments on Wood Street and throughout the Prescott neighborhood.
    Deplorable conditions & threats to public health & safety.
    Trash accumulating in these encampments.
    $250k annual budget to deal with homelessness is not enough to address the epidemic that is plaguing Oakland. We need much more funding and strong City leadership.
    We need a Homelessness Czar to solve the problem.
    This will only get worse if it is not dealt with now!

    I'm in support of enacting the recommendations in this report.
