@abc7newsbayarea: A viral video by shot by ABC7's Lyanne Melendez is sparking a new debate about Berkeley's controversial homeless encampment near 8th and Harrison, right next to UC Berkeley housing. #berkeley #homeless #ucberkeley #abc7news

Rick Chow :

faculty have to live somewhere

Queen Ankhara :

nah, let them stay in that city i dont live in

Chris :

The east bay is lost & ruined.

rebl queen :

we need affordable housing not tied to credit

triciakj1🇺🇸 :

So offering free housing and drug treatment isn’t doing enough? What do they want? What’s the answer?

Paper Bound Greetings :

Where would you like them to go? Are you going to buy them a plane ticket to the Philippines? Where the rich outsourced, all the american jobs abroad for cheaper labor?

𝒱 :

Its only gonna get worse everywhere else

No Tik Tok Tech :

This happens in Berkeley. Lawyers sue and delay but eventually the camp will be cleared, the lawyers made their $, and the homeless lose everything and get nothing.

The Neutral Home :

Instead of billions being thrown away and stolen z they need to have mental and drug rehab center that is MANDATORY is you are homeless. No choice you have to goz because enough is enough.

Herb :

👏👏👏👏👏 Glad to see people suing to protect people who arent fortunate enough to live in a house. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Jeremiah1795 :

America is no longer a 1st world country. You don’t see this shit in China, Russia or North Korea.

tech tundra :

I drive by it everyday they had a leptospirosis outbreak a bit back and the rats would make their way towards the homes nearby

Terry :

yall enjoy

Donnarosegreen :

yeah....sweeps is the answer. NOT

Undercoverlover :

These people are offered help, but they choose to use drugs and refuse the help available to them.

Frenji :

I have an idea: let’s send more money to Israel so they can all continue to have free health care.

pumpkin king 🎃 :

All politicians in USA are corrupt and don’t care.

marjano33 :

the leafblower approach metaphor is 100% accurate

Andyxx :

Ethan hallings :

See here’s what’s wrong. Yeah homeless sucks and can’t suck but they allowed it to get this big now it’s political to tear it down. I mean the solution is fine housing for these folks but as we know that is really challenging.

Erin McConnell :

Please don’t move them because we don’t need anymore in Oakland!

STRONG The Muscle Wizard :

thats actually a small one.
