On Monday, city began the weekslong process of cleaning up the encampment, which has existed in one form or another for around a decade, and is now home to around 60 residents.
Tamara Rosselli strapped her belongings to an orange dolly as public works crews a few hundred yards away began clearing out the last vestiges of one of the city’s largest homeless encampments on Wood Street in West Oakland.
“Look at this place,” she said, motioning to the bicycle parts, propane tanks and broken appliances strewn across the property. “This is not paradise. We can get a fresh start down there.” The city says it needs to clear what’s left of the camp to mitigate safety hazards and make way for a 170-unit affordable housing project planned for the site. Oakland officials said everyone living there now will be offered a cabin or other shelter program.
