Oaklandside: Oakland councilmembers and city administration clash over proposal to use army base for homeless shelter
Tensions ran high at Tuesday’s Oakland City Council meeting as officials, with Councilmember Carroll Fife most vocal, implored the city administration to act with more urgency in addressing the homelessness crisis.
Fife wants to allow unsheltered residents who have been displaced from the Wood Street encampment, part of which is being closed by Caltrans, to relocate to the old Oakland Army Base.
