    (My comments are not about Oaklandside)

    I was going to make a comment about Oakland closing the camps but not having a place for the people to go. This quote basically sums it up:

    City staff say the policy is not intended to tackle the root causes of homelessness or create affordable housing. Instead, it narrowly lays out methods for addressing camps. Other city programs look at the bigger picture, they say.
