Politics Homeless people gain ‘de facto right’ to sleep on sidewalks through federal court

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

We need to increase minimum wage to a living wage

We need to freeze inflation for a matter of time to allow for stabilization.

We need to take a big look at inflation. Inflation is insane.
