Uh, wasn’t there a scene like this in Dr. Zhivago?

Good grief. CA is looking exactly like Bangladesh. No wonder conservatives are coming to TX as fast as they can get out of CA.

Interestingly, one of the reasons given for their moving is “religious freedom.” Isn’t that guaranteed by the U.S. Constitution in EVERY state?

This will go over big. Most urban californians are lefties and lefties have hearts so big that they gladly spend other peoples money on effort to solve big problems. But not their own money, never that.

What could go wrong? Inviting a homeless psychopath in your home?

There are plenty of Oaklanders with extra space...? WTF??? Why not fill your extra space with street people your government won’t deal with?

What percent of the homeless have severe mental and drug problems? 95%? 99%?

Oh yeah, I want some of that crowd living in my house...

I’ll do my part. From here in Texas.

I’ll pay for a one-way bus ticket to Oakland for a homeless person. They got free and open housing there?

All cities should honor Oakland’s generous spirit here and send their homeless to Oakland.

the good mayor is not taking in any homeless at this time, but, is willing to consider it, at a later date.

I’d rather have a homeless person in my house than a politician.

That wasn’t just a movie scene. That was reality during the Russian revolution. If you were wealthy or a Kulak, your home and assets were seized and redistributed. You would be lucky if they didn’t make you disappear or if you actually got a room in your own home.

The difference here is that for the moment they don’t have the power (yet) to take your homes by force.

Of course their plea does not apply to them or their friends, only to the average citizens.

Everything old is new again. The Bolsheviks went from suggestion to confiscation during the Russian Revolution. Anyone with an empty space was forced to take another family.

Enter the USSR, and families live in communal apartments sharing a kitchen and bath.

But, a leftist will say that communism wasn't implemented well enough. They can do it better with much better results the next time.

And the next and the next.

See Venezuela.

Is that a lost dog flyer on that kettle?

The dog probably had better sense than to live like these people do and left for better environs.
