Oakland Fruitvale District residents who live near the Union Pacific tracks say they're fed up with encampment trash, ongoing crime and vehicle fires.
OAKLAND -- Many Oakland Fruitvale District residents who live near the Union Pacific Railroad tracks said they are fed up with encampment trash, ongoing crime and vehicle fires.
A video taken on July 19 shared with KPIX shows thieves removing tires and other parts inside a red truck."Cars burning and all the fumes and everything -- the wind blows it and it comes toward us," said Anna Tostado. Neighbors aren't sure if the homeless are the same people stealing and stripping the cars but they do blame the homeless for pouring human waste down the storm drains."It's really bad for our health. Our children can't go out to play. We cannot open our windows 'cause the smell is unbearable," said Alba Alvarado.
"Anger and a lot of frustration and, just, feeling betrayed. We live in the city. We pay our taxes. We love the city. We choose to be here and, in the end, we're completely abandoned," said Aby Mariani.
