Episode description

For nearly a decade, around 300 unhoused people built a community under Interstate 880 in Oakland, until the city evicted the Wood Street encampment to make way for 170 units of affordable housing. Documentary filmmaker Caron Creighton joins host Cecilia Lei to talk about what happened during the month-long eviction process, and the residents' last ditch efforts to stay put. | Unlimited Chronicle access: sfchronicle.com/pod Related: Wood Street Encampment's Final Day pod.fo/e/172f12 Got a tip, comment, question?
