I’ve always wanted to dress up and go out and eat in Oakland.

The bigger question should be...

“Why is there so much crime?”

Gee, maybe because they invite it? And do nothing about it?

Civilization in decline. It was a good few decades, but nothing lasts forever.

Now, ‘scuse me while I go watch “Dr. Strangelove” again.🤣

Oakland’s long been on the sketchy edge.

No surprise that it would be early to fall.

Somehow, this will be the fault of Republicans, and the people of Oakland will still reliably vote Democrat.

The cartels are here because of no borders, lax drug laws and virtually no punishment for their crimes. It’s a free for all who do crime.

Liberals don’t want you eating at fine dining places. It hurts the feelings of those who can’t afford it. (No mention of effort and reward.)

I just assumed Oakland was like Gary, Indiana, only a lot more violent.

A lot of cities are dying.

Walnut Creek would be a great spot for their relocation.

Awww who cares? These business owners are clearly white supremacist racists! Oakland should be happy they’re leaving.

Simple solution. Stop voting for Democrats. Every office at every level. Just stop.

“I’m going to miss the great food. The food is — wow! It blows your mind,”

Learn to cook your own food.

And who gets the blame for rampant crime?

When you remove legitimate law enforcement something will rush in to fill the vacuum left behind, you will not like what comes to take its place and the sentence for almost every crime in the new system will be death.

A fact of life: Civilized people do not care to engage in fine dining in a zoo.

“Restaurant owners said city leaders have to do better”

No, you need to do better in your choice of city leaders.

Why not demand Al Capone to do better in curbing crime in Chicago?

They should move to Piedmont. It’s nearby and doesn’t have Oakland problems.
