A small group of homeowners in Castro Valley, California, aren’t happy that they’re being billed for the cleanup of an abandoned homeless encampment in their neighborhood.
Alameda County has demanded that Walsh Property Management pay about $20,000 to clean up the mess left by the homeless because part of the camp was on land the company oversees.
