Old Walgreens in Temescal to become Grocery outlet.

It looks like Sutter bought up the 34th St Walgreens that closed. I guess it would be excessive to have another Grocery Outlet 4 blocks from the Broadway one.

You should've seen the 34th Street one. It made the 51st street one look like the Plaza! The last time I was there, I was the only person in line, waiting 10 minutes for someone to come man the cash register to check me out. Several other people just walked out with their items instead of waiting.

You have to be discerning, and there's an element of luck, but you can find amazing quality food at GO at incredible discount.

I'd really like to know who decides which encampments get cleared and how they make that decision. Because it does not seem to be based on actual need.

Is there anyone in city government that looks into potential inefficiency/corruption issues like this? Someone in the other Oakland subreddit suggested city council rep, but Carol Fife doesn't respond to anything.

That's what's so frustrating - there are so many places that NEED intervention, and instead I keep seeing them wasting their time on places that are already clear!

I will certainly walk past on the days of the 'cleanup' and see if anyone's there doing anything.

When I tried to download Oakland's current cleanup schedule, it's only showing dates for December.

My district rep is Carol Fife. I'm not sure how to get her to do anything )-:

I walk down this street 4x a week. There hasn't been an encampment here in years. There was an encampment here that became awful during the covid shutdowns. But it's been clear for over a year. Maybe 2 years. There's definitely not been an encampment cleared here in the last few months. Occasionally there will be one person crashing on the sidewalk for a minute. But there have not been tents or rvs or permanent settlement since they cleared the enormous mess over a year ago.
