Oaklanders sick of the housing crisis build a complex below an underpass complete with a hot shower, fully stocked kitchen, outdoor pizza oven and CLINIC for around 300 homeless residents at nearby encampments
  • Cob on Wood is a small village center along Wood Street in West Oakland, beneath Interstate 880
  • It has transformed a patch of one of the city's biggest homeless encampments into a community area
  • Between 150 and 300 homeless people access the services and facilities including small huts known as 'cobins' for homeless people to safely shelter
  • There's also a communal kitchen, hot shower and compostable toilet, and a free store full of donated clothing
  • The center has a free health clinic with on-site practitioners, vegetable gardens and a cob pizza oven
  • It also provides opportunities such as construction training, cooking classes and careers development
  • Unhoused residents told DailyMail.com they finally have a place 'that I can call home'
  • Local organizers began the project in December in response to the city's inadequate response to the homelessness crisis

That area was on fire the other day .
Im gonna be honest with you that area was real fucking sketchy before this village showed up.
I doubt its all as nice as the small area they show.
Hopefully it works out , but idk how long it will last with all the other horrible shit Ive seen over there.
Who knows though , theres been a few nicer camps and stuff around but they only let sober peeps in.
 
That's pretty cool. Good to see they are putting things like that together to help the homeless.
 
Should toss them into the bay and be done with them.

I haven't been over there but surely it's a good start. I was saying the other day I was happy the camp I drive past on the way to work has a portapotty so this is a much better effort than that.

Hot shower and kitchen? Damn thats better than @BEATDOWNS 's crib
 
Mayor Schaaf already guaranteeing 600 families $500/mo for 18 months.

provided, of course, you are the correct skin tone. Some of those homeless should apply, the others however are too privileged.

 
Hot showers and a kitchen? OK that means someone must be paying for the water and electricity? If so who?
 
Did anyone care about the homeless before when they were just stumblebums? But homeless hipsters? Let's help them! Fuck em all
