Enough is enough for one Oakland neighborhood where residents say they're tired of seeing prostitutes right in front of their homes.
OAKLAND -- Residents of an Oakland neighborhood plagued with sex trafficking are demanding that city leaders fix the problem.
Neighbors said East 15th Street used to be a quiet street but, after the city reconfigured International Boulevard , sex workers moved a block over to East 15th. "I think it's inappropriate but we can't really do much towards them," said Zarate, who has lived on East 15th her entire life."I'm scared for them to see in inappropriate clothes, me questions and I don't have answers for them," she said.
"It shouldn't be introduced at the age of 4 years old that you're going down the street and you're seeing women dress like this you need to learn 'oh, if you hear gunshots, duck down," said Marlen Zarate, Estefani's sister.Many families said that, aside from prostitution, they're also fed up with homeless encampments and gun violence.
