@californiapost: The city of Berkeley on Tuesday began clearing a notorious homeless encampment that has clogged up streets since at least 2023. Officials had declared the area a fire hazard and public nuisance following a deadly leptospirosis outbreak linked to rats. Read more at the link in bio.

Tony ❌ :

All the government officials who refused to do anything about this should be out there cleaning this up.

Ellenson :

You’re the best Gavin

CocoaDiva :

Why is this even allowed in the 1st place

Rafa :

And these executive directors of these non profits for homeless in Bay Area make over 150k a year in salary such a scam

Natalie Smith :

Wow it’s just unbelievable they let people live like this. Disgusting. 🤮

TIO MANU :

Being poor or homeless doesn’t mean we have to stop caring about ourselves. No matter where we live or what we have, we can still choose to stay clean, take care of ourselves, and keep our dignity. ❤️

Wastedyrs :

Is Berkeley trying to suggest that cleanliness could prevent disease?

Nick :

now it's a problem

Vince :

It’s about freaking time

rebeccafowler855 :

How much did this cost to clean up? Seriously

Shushan ☕️ :

Perfect! I can’t stand those non profits which are “for the homeless” and block ever law out there. These embankments are such nonsense and can’t stand them

Myesha415Newton :

The fact that it took this damn long, he really bad is ridiculous. This almost has been here for years.

Lake Dude :

I’ll give it 3 weeks.

rebeccafowler855 :

I always ask why the big messes? I have come to think it’s a way of building a barrier between the homeless person and the streets

battleCa :

I think we have to accept that there will be encampments and adapt rules for them. Such as, nothing outside the tent. There was one on Adeline like that for a long time, very orderly.

BannedBaconFarmer2 :

waking up yet?

SaltyCaramelSauce :

very progressive

The Brian McCorkle❌ :

Amazing ask why would it need to get this bad
