Description
There is an ever-growing homeless encampment in the vacant parking lot across from seafood city. It’s been there about 8 weeks, and as it grows, the trash and waste grows with it.
I’ve seen people using the lagoon to wash themselves and as a toilet. The city needs to address this ASAP.
This is actually a decent spot for people to camp, but the city needs to clean it up, provide services so they don’t use the lagoon for excrement and waste, and their trash doesn’t get picked up in the wind and blown all over our already trash filled bay.

"There appears to be more illegal dumping complaints than homeless encampments.'
Yes, they do move from place to place, around town. And they don't clean up after themselves when they move..

I wonder who is hiding behind the new ID?
Myself I have 1 ID here and if I made a 2nd you would know it’s me easy..... When the comment gets unblocked I will try to guess the primary ID
But maybe I am wrong. I have been wrong before

If anyone here can remember voting for mandatory recycling say so. Before the city’s were required by the state mandate there was never a dumping problem of the scope we have now.
Because you could basically put whatever amount of trash out curbside for pick up
Now we have skyrocketed price for a gray container and no local dump and if you go to the dump local dump far away the price is outrageous
I understand we need to conserve land fill space but social engineering by the mandates of the state sometimes don’t work.
Now the taxpayers pay the city to remove debris that before could be out in bags and barrels curbside.
And how is the mandated CRV tax working out for you remember when everyone was going to save the plastic for your money back in a perfect California
Yes I know why there’s so much dumping Vallejo and it’s not because of homeless humanoids

People paid to clean an apartment etc. don't want to pay the landfill fee.
I actually canvased when I was a teen to get the same deposit fee Oregon has, but they passed the "CRV" instead. Try to get the same money back at a recycler as you paid at the store. All the recyclers are for profit bussiness.

Sorry to interrupt your charming conversation about trash cans, but is anyone doing anything about this:

What do you expect? Forceful law enforcement that violates rights of people oppressed by entitled class?
No services can be provided on that property without massive red tape... Someone owns that property and is now a victim after posting no trespassing signs. A victim because they paid for a fence in a city county state were it’s okay to trespass and camp indefinitely
And if we don’t like it then we can move or go pound sand!

Its possible I will be accused for jumping to the other side of the fence.
I have posted previously that it is clearly marked with signs-
No trespassing
Violators Will be prosecuted
And even with that the police department and code enforcement are impotent in the enforcement of said laws. City codes are also posted on the signs.
So I have to believe that I am misinterpreting the signs or patrols have been told to lay off the homeless.
I don’t want to see a already marginalized part of the population brought down further unnecessarily, but what’s the point of posting signs and having city codes and laws if we’re going to ignore them? This is why I believe law-enforcement is much better equipped to deal with the problem than I am. So the PD must know that it’s not effective to go roust these people out, or give them tickets, arrest them etc. After all they’re just going to plant themselves in another property untill asked to move.
Hesitantly, I am going to agree that the giant parking lot with nothing in it is an appropriate place for this camp. The City will have to provide chemical toilets and garbage services along with scrim on the fence to obscure the view from the street and provide some privacy for the camp. And I do think a weekly welfare check from community services would be beneficial too. That way if anybody decides that they would except what limited homeless services are available in Solano County then can choose to. This of course will come as an extreme liability to the city because if anything goes wrong there, it will be on Tbe City of Vallejo.
I suppose the best thing would be to help these people out before they lose their home. A public program to assist people with their rent or mortgage to keep them from losing their residence entirely. Skyrocketing rents and house prices are pushing folks out who teeter on financial solvency every day. I came to Vallejo’s because it was half the price of any other city in the bay, but unless you’re well off, be prepared to be priced out yourself.

By the way, where is that property owner? Another speculative property holder waiting for the next big bubble?
