Side note:
One thing I notice now in Oakland is the amount of vehicles parked on streets that should have been towed away years ago years ? Yes YEARS ago they have been sitting since 2020-2021 in my area. Back in the day A&B towing snatched up everything and anything now not at all. Not to mention the non functional vehicles people are living in. Now tow companies leave abandoned vehicles because they clearly know nobody's coming to pay and pick up something broke down with hella parking tickets on it. Hell we are so over populated in this part of Oakland at night car regularly part across driveways on sidewalks or in the red. That's what happens when you have 12 people living in 2 bed apt.
It is like this in Los Angeles as well. California cities don't know what to do about the massive homeless problem. There are multiple streets near my work and some not too far from my home where many folks live in their cars and create a trash city on the sidewalk. I am pretty sure the black guy on a bike who broke into a few cars in front of my work rode in from an encampment a few blocks away. Their are folks riding bikes all over the place looking to steal from cars and other opportunities.
I don't know about Oakland, but in LA they stopped impounding vehicles because the lots filled up. They ultimately can take them to a wrecker but there are even fewer of those.
What I don't understand is where all of these broken down vehicle and RVs are coming from and how they are getting here if they don't even run. That's where the problem needs to be addressed.
I parked my car in front of my own house with expired registration and it was towed, but someone can park an RV on the street for a year and nothing is done about it.
