Hi Long!
Your blog post about dumping on the side of the road was an interesting read for me, mainly because this kind of issue is something that I am not personally familiar with. When it comes to making Oakland a better city, problems like these should certainly be reported and you did a great job using SEECLICKFIX as a way for you to get your voice heard!
When you were saying that the city of Oakland is probably not going to address your issue, I do want to encourage you by telling you not to give up! Just because there are homeless people living near the dumping does not mean that action can be done to help solve it. I think that your voice is just the first step is confronting it and it’s your job to bring this problem to light if you want to make Oakland help you in solving it!
