All summer there's been a growing hobo camp right where the I-80 University Avenue offramp is in Berkeley. More tents every day, huge piles of trash and filth, grimy wasted losers stumbling about.
A couple weeks ago there was a huge column of thick black smoke I could see miles away, and as I drove in that direction it ended being there. Firetrucks had the exit blocked off that day while who knows what burned.
Today on the way to Berkeley the cops had the offramp blocked off again. On the way home, they had the city streets leading to the freeway blocked off. I hope they cleared that shithole - with prejudice. And scrapped down about 5 feet.
Nothing in the news yet that I've found. Maybe City Hall didn't think that was the first thing people should see on the way in. Who knows, maybe the noble ''homeless'' aren't above the law after all, or at least some of them.
