Taylor says that though her house has always been the “Kool-Aid” house of her neighborhood, a gathering place of sorts for young people, she’s never shied away from keeping kids in line.MORE: Video Can cities fine homeless people? “West Oakland needs help,” Taylor said. “I grew up in West Oakland elementary school, junior high and high school here. So, I could see the changes I need. I know what needs to be done.”
“I feel so dedicated to the homeless people, as far as food is concerned, because I was hungry when I was a kid. So that stays with me,” Taylor said. “I don't believe that anybody should be going to bed hungry and so it's just something that I'm dedicated to.”
