The original human waste I reported June 4th was gone after a week or two, but there was more human waste around 10:30 a.m. in the same area of the Pergola Tuesday July 2nd. Some Lake Merritt Institute volunteers removed it, though it's not part of what they volunteered for or equipped to do. I can't speak for LMI, but their general mission is scooping bottles, litter, & trash out of the Lake by extending nets at the end of poles into the water. However, I think 311 and your other supporting resources & entities should keep this human waste issue on your radar screen. The use of a public-right-of-way as a bathroom has health implications especially if it recurs at such a widely used area such as the Pergola.

Prepare for widespread destitution. Slum neighborhood appearing. Law and order relinquish. Oakland East Bay.

and seeming being welcomed with open arm by inept elected officials as long it is not in there neighborhoods. Oakland is now part two of the Youtube video " Is Seattle Dying"

Saw that video. Ive never seen homelessness at this worsted time. Be afraid. Street war crimes is ahead

With prop 47 and the endless supply of illegal narcotics its only going to get worse.

If this were someone's private property, one must defend his own because there's no help coming from the City.

I heard last Tuesday Aug 27 that the police talked to the woman who is suspected of trashing the Pergola and made her move at least temporarily. Shortly thereafter the same day the City power washed the Pergola beautifully. Today the woman is back living among trash, discarded food, and squalor. Even though the City has her on their radar screen, I think It's a sad, unhealthy, ongoing situation to everyone's detriment including her own.

Ours encampments is worst than yours. Ours homeless is sleeping during business hours of traffic. No enforcement to clean the street

Ill, sickly, homeless dude, no help, either from city or tax payers. No police help.

Tell me about it. My homeless encampment on 23rd St / MLK has been here for over 3 years. The City doesn't help and left our neighborhood to fend for ourselves. Several times (4) they defecated on my private property and I had to clean. The City does not clean on private property.

It could literally change overnght, but good faith proper effort to mitigate the filth has been going on for a few weeks. So long as you keep up the good work, close for now.
