OAKLAND, Calif. (KTVU) – Lake Merritt is often called the gem of Oakland. It’s home to the nation’s first and oldest bird sanctuary. It’s also home to at least 65 homeless people.

“I’ve moved around two times around here before I got to this spot and I just don’t really have another place to go,” said Andrew Flory.
