Welcome to another episode of the Doomloop Dispatch, the news show covering the worst parts of the San Francisco Bay Area. In this episode, Kevin and Scot talk with homeless advocate Jaz Colibri about life in Oakland's encampments. Kevin recently reported on a sweep in Oakland and that's where he met Jaz, a former encampment resident who was there to help remove a trailer. In our discussion, Jaz let's us know about how the city's sweeps aren't helping and how the encampments create community, which is a good thing.
