Tax dollars should be spent on actual housing that services for the homeless. The Compassionate Community located in West Oakland had a very negative impact on the community. We were told by the city to give it and chance and NOT to report dumping and "minor" drug crimes. As a result the statistics show a drop in these items being reported. In fact, the site was a round the clock drug market with people in the streets passed our or dealing drugs. This site is a danger to the community, and especially our children. No money should be spent on a model that does so much damage to the surrounding community. Please support finding and funding actual housing and shelters.
