Re: Neighborhood happy hour!
Hi neighbors, A reminder that I am hosting a HH tomorrow, Sun 9/11?@ 5pm?for our lovely block on our front patio here at 5675 Oak Grove Ave. Please bring whatever drinks/snacks you'd like to eat and some to share, and a camping chair if you'd like to sit. If we have too many to fit on our patio, we will migrate to the driveway. See you soon :) Rachel

There are many new faces, and we've all been stuck inside for 2 years. Having neighbor-friends is a great gift, so Melissa Mednick and I thought it might be nice to have a monthly or every-other-month BYOB happy hour. To kick things off, I will host, as I did at the beginning of the pandemic. (What nice medicine that was!)
Our first HH will be on my front patio at 5675 Oak Grove Ave on Sunday 9/11?@ 5pm. Please put it on your calendars. All are welcome. If it gets too big, we may have to migrate to our driveway, which is no problem. Please bring whatever drinks/snacks you'd like to eat and some to share. This first event will also double as a book-party (!): I published during the pandemic and never properly celebrated. For those of you who are new to the 'hood, I am a pain science expert and nerd - so if you have or treat chronic pain, or know someone who does, I will have book copies for you.
I will plan to host a few of these to?get us going, but if you would like to donate your yard or patio to a future HH, we are gratefully accepting volunteers. No work is needed to host beyond showing up. Looking forward to meeting/seeing all of you! Warmly, Rachel Zoffness

Thanks Melissa, I’m glad you had a chance to meet Loren & appreciated his viewpoint.?
Here’s a reminder for tomorrows house party for Loren Taylor tomorrow @ 2:30 pm. ?Hope you can make it. Thanks, Mona? 5667 Oak Grove?

? Hi Mona, thanks for hosting this meet and greet. I attended a meeting with Loren last month and was really impressed by him- he struck me as smart, thoughtful, and pragmatic.

Re: Homeless guy in my front sidewalk
Thanks - but Rob and Brian (my husband) confirmed this is not the same guy. The Ped Way guy was lying down in Ped Way in different clothes than what our images show shortly afterwards.

Unfortunately, it's the same guy. He's changed his clothes. He was/is on Pedestrian Way near Claremont and I believe Rob Manheimer called the police because he had defecated on Rob's driveway.
Beth at 5800 Chabot and I both spoke to the officers, but we didn't know about this earlier incident involving Rebecca. The officers gave us an incident number of: LOP220826000295. He said we can call the city of Oakland at 510-891-6028 to get information on
filing a restraining order. The homeless individual's name is apparently Damon Page, date of birth: Feb. 2, 1971 - you'll need the incident number and that information to identify him for the restraining order. Once an order has been entered, the police can
remove him if he returns.
Ray @ 484 Pedestrian Way
Rebecca,
What a frightening experience. I believe this is actually different guy, an older, or older looking, sort of disabled and guy who has been wandering around the neighborhood for some time now. I think he used to shuffle around with a garbage
bag over his back, wandering down people's driveways and looking for stuff on their porches. More recently I've seen him pushing his bag around in a cart. He came down our driveway at a few minutes before he visited your house.?
I haven't seen the other guy around in about a week but his cart and stuff seem to have been abandoned on Miles so we might need to brace ourselves for his return when he's done doing whatever he's been doing the last week.
Mona across the street is hosting a mayoral candidate Sunday afternoon and I'm assuming homeless services is going to be a hot topic. My other question will be why does Berkeley get to have nice parks when Oakland? does not?
Thanks All.?

Hi everyone -
this guy has been hanging around our neighborhood for several weeks - mostly in Pedestrian way, until he found his new residence in front of my house. He has been verbally aggressive, has “showered” and defecated in Nate and Emma’s yard, and is generally a
bit concerning.
so, I wanted to let you know what we have been doing, and to ask for some help.? I think much of this has been done by several people, as I know the Ped Way group has been trying to get him to move along for at least a month.
- have called police, but they can’t do anything, since he is on the sidewalk and not on private property.? They know of the guy, and agree he is difficult, but can’t seem to do anything.
- have called the alameda county crisis line- they have no help
- Have called the new Oakland mobile crisis support, but they are only open Mon- Fri,and Zac thinks they aren’t working in our neighborhood yet anyway.
- have called Oakland mental health, no response
He keeps saying he is leaving, “if we will just…” but, no matter what is done, that hasn’t happened yet.?
I am going to try and saturate calls into the offices of Libby Schaaf and Dan Kalb, to see if they can offer some solution.? I
would appreciate it if you would be willing to call as well - if we have enough different callers, perhaps they will find a solution. ?

Re: Homeless guy in my front sidewalk
Hi Rachel,
The officers I spoke?with this?morning strongly encouraged filing a restraining order under the incident report. They said that would be the only way they can move him away when he comes back. Currently, he left a shopping cart on Pedestrian Way along Beth's
side yard but I didn't see him when I walked by 5 minutes ago.

Sooo at this point that isn't just loitering - that's breaking and entering, a home invasion. The police STILL won't do anything...? That's really, really scary. I live alone. I guess I need a baseball bat...? WTF.

Damon Page on Pedestrian Way
He first came to PedWay before the Fourth of July weeekd and was encouraged to leave. I too had done what Kelly did later, call 311 and find humanitarian means to persuade him not to spread his possessions all over and be visibly intoxicated. We will try to pursue the same means but please do not avoid PedWay if you normally take it as that adds to the problem.

Re: Homeless guy in my front sidewalk
Thanks for the photo. Will pass onto my mother's caregiver who has seen him... BK
Barbara - Isn’t whoever is sitting on your mom’s steps trespassing? I would call the police.?
? <image1.png> Thanks Kelly for the information.. so frustrating for all parties involved.. We saw his Trader Joe’s cart near Aint Normal this evening after 6 P.M. but not him.. he has a pink/purple bike which we did not see either.?
Regards Emma ? Do you have any photos of this person. Someone has been sitting on the mom's steps up to my mom's porch (private property)? at 5625 Oak Grove in the evening. We haven't spoken to him. Might be the same person. Let me know... Barbara Kassal Hi everyone -
this guy has been hanging around our neighborhood for several weeks - mostly in Pedestrian way, until he found his new residence in front of my house. He has been verbally aggressive, has “showered” and defecated in Nate and Emma’s yard, and is generally a bit concerning.
so, I wanted to let you know what we have been doing, and to ask for some help.? I think much of this has been done by several people, as I know the Ped Way group has been trying to get him to move along for at least a month.
- have called police, but they can’t do anything, since he is on the sidewalk and not on private property.? They know of the guy, and agree he is difficult, but can’t seem to do anything.
- have called the alameda county crisis line- they have no help
- Have called the new Oakland mobile crisis support, but they are only open Mon- Fri,and Zac thinks they aren’t working in our neighborhood yet anyway.

Update on the homeless guy
Obviously, he has moved on. ?But, I still think we ought to call our reps and demand a better process and support for people who are unsheltered. ?It was so depressing to be continuously referred on, with no one accountable or helpful.?
have a great day all!

I did it- and it was super easy! ?Good luck, Rachel!

Homeless guy in my front sidewalk
Hi everyone -
this guy has been hanging around our neighborhood for several weeks - mostly in Pedestrian way, until he found his new residence in front of my house. He has been verbally aggressive, has “showered” and defecated in Nate and Emma’s yard, and is generally a bit concerning.
so, I wanted to let you know what we have been doing, and to ask for some help. ?I think much of this has been done by several people, as I know the Ped Way group has been trying to get him to move along for at least a month.
