A number of Alameda County, California, homeowners were less than pleased to find out they are being forced to split the cost of a roughly $20,000 cleanup effort undertaken to remove a local homeless encampment.
According to KPIX, the now-abandoned encampment, situated by a creek adjacent to Walsh Property Management’s 75-residence Castro Valley housing development, was made known to local authorities as early as 2017.
Misunderstandings, however, as to whose land the camp sat on and who would be responsible — Alameda County, East Bay Regional Parks or the nearby development’s Lakewood Home Owners Association — led to nearly 2 years of inaction.
And come August 2019, when the county finally determined the camp did in fact spill over onto development land, the cost of that inaction was to be shouldered by members of the HOA — which is overseen by Walsh Property Management — to the tune of $300 per homeowner.

And for nonsense they allowed!!
It’s tedious to keep repeating this but, ‘Elections have consequences’.
Is this a sanctuary city, county or state tax?
You get what you vote for.
Yes Alameda County is a sanctuary county and has openly disdained requests from ICE.
Years ago, my Grandma told me their mill town community was being overrun with bums and hobos as the community was near railroad tracks. This was the early 1930’s doing the height of the depression.
One night the good men of the community including my grandpa went out with baseball bats and took care of the situation.
No more bums and never had a problem with bums ever again.
45 years later I still can remember her telling me this story.
Sounds like a scene out of “Gone With The Wind”.
“We’re going to fine you to clean up our mess”.
Yeah, that sounds about right in California.
Those HOA members in Castro Valley should be PROUD to be doing their part to help out the less fortunate in their community. Shouldn’t they be welcoming the Homeless-American community into their own community?
Blue collar steel town men did not mess around back then.
I see a lot more derelicts this year, even during cold weather. Denver now is bringing back “safe” injection sites for heroin, meth, whatever. I’m sure this will help./s
You get what the majority votes for.
Which is why the founders LIMITED who could vote!
My second boss in California grew up in St. Louis. He told us storied of the beat cops whacking the bums sleeping in doorways and on park benches with their billy clubs. They would usually get a good whack onto bottom of their feet and were told to “get moving.” The problem was kept to a minimum with good old beat-cop enforcement.
Cities were livable places back then where you could raise a family in peace and security.
You can always count on insane liberals to improve the quality of life for everybody in a community.
Exactly. Midnight riders will be coming around again.
Exactly! The homeowners should be pitching new tents and setting up campsites, food trucks and needle exchanges.
NY and California are obviously in competition for Most Insanely Stupid Political Leaders. It seems they can’t wait to tax and legislate themselves into oblivion, leaving only illegals and criminals still there. The few productive people still living there will therefore make up the entire tax base and be taxed into moving away. I hope someone is around to film the last views of the states before they collapse under the waves from outrageously stupid management.
Cartelfornia is SUCH a turdworld Mitthole.
