Logs line Poplar Street between 18th Street and West Grand Avenue except at a fire hydrant where a gap has been left
The real resistance.
Boy that was scary. At first I thought it said legs.
Time to hit the eye doctor.
When the city won’t enforce its own rules, the rules the citizens actually agree with ARE made effective BY those same citizens.
Tell me again how do these folks represent us?
Meh...People have been dropping logs in front of San Francisco businesses for years.
!
LMAO!
There is a growing community of van dwellers/RVers who are living FT in their vehicles. CA is systematically outlawing these vehicles on streets overnight.
It seems they would rather have people living in tents and p00ping on the sidewalk than living in self-contained vehicles which can be moved far away when the owner chooses.
I see whut you did there.
I dont know about Oakland but across the bay in San Fransicko they got rid of one law against dumping.
It is perfectly legal in SF to take a dump on the sidewalk.
Maybe thats why the logs are in the street. Maybe these businesses got tired of the campers dropping a log on the sidewalk in front of their business.
Wheres a tree hugger when you need them?
when government fails people take matters into their own hands.
Looks like they need to change the street name fro Poplar Street to Eucalyptus Street.
Boulders in San Francisco sidewalks. Logs on Oakland streets. At some point, youd think the City Fathers would wake up.
I once lived for 6 months out of my car. It wasn’t bad once you get used to it. As you say, self contained, heat, air, electricity, internet from my phone.
I had a few different parking places to sleep to mix it up and move around. Picked safe, well lighted places where I didn’t bother anyone. And I never left a mess or peed or pooped outside. For showers I had a cheap gym membership.
I saved up w lot of money during that time and I gotta say part of me missed the simplicity and freefom of it.
We know of construction workers who live in North Idaho who commute to the Bay Area for work and live in RVs while here. We also know of Paramedics who live in Utah and commute to the Bay Area for night shift work and live in an RV up on Skyline Drive during the day.
It seems like this is a growing phenomena and is the only way to get people here who arent paid exorbitant tech salaries.

Poorly. Very poorly.
“when government fails people take matters into their own hands.”
How vigilantism gets started.
Most of the responsible citizenry have since moved away or died off. Even Harvey Milk would be considered too right-wing now for San Francisco. One of the few things he did in office during his brief tenure on the Board of Supervisors was to implement a law to make sure people cleaned up after their pets. I think he would be horrified and disgusted human turds were all over the city today and nobody was punishing the perps.
