doing it right
While San Franciscans argue over how much warning the city should give to homeless people before clearing tent encampments, Oakland is trying another strategy entirely: Keep the camps in place for weeks or months and make them move livable.
The idea is to provide basics such as trash cans, portable toilets and regular cleanup services while the city tries to devise a long-term shelter program before shutting down the camps for good.
