Robert GrahamAn Oakland business owner who makes Argentinian empanadas is frustrated with a lack of support from the city after he says he has faced two break-ins over the past year.
Now he's struggling with a new challenge brought on by homelessness in the area.
Javier Sandes. the owner of Javis Empanadas, told KTVU that an unhorsed woman has built an encampment outside his business, Javi's Cooking, on Market Street.
He said that pleas to the city and the mayor's office have gone unheard. He posted a video to Instagram on Wednesday asking for help.
His video shows a person with a pile of things, including a tent and a large tarp on the sidewalk in front of his business. He also filmed the parklet outside his restaurant, which has been vandalized with grafitti and broken windows.
