Shocking footage has emerged showing a gigantic 'shantytown' that has sprung up in Oakland, as the California city's slide into crime-ravaged squalor continues.

Michael Oxford, the host of CaliBased, posted a video on May 31 of massive temporary houses built along service roads that open up into main roads in Hooverville, Oakland.

The footage showed trash strewn around scores of houses that were built of wood, tarp and other discarded materials.

I was in crew of a Coast Guard ship homeported in Alameda and I and a another crewmember rented a house on East 33d street Oakland so we had a place to get off the ship and frankly ‘PARTY’;-) This was in the early 70’S. The house was halfway between the Hell’s Angels HQ and the Black Panthers HQ. We both had motorcycles which we parked in the kitchen when we were there and on base when underway. The house was broken into 6 times when we were underway. When we told the landlord we weren’t going to renew he put burgler bars on all the windows to get us to stay. One night my girlfriend heard someone going in a window next door and put him upside the house with a gun, turned out his mom had nailed the door to his room shut and he he could only get to his bedroom through the window. And I reckon Oakland has gone downhill from that. Sheese!

You can’t be a proper Third World country without shantytowns everywhere.

Just part of Obama’s “Fundamental Transformation of America”.

How ironic that Biden is Obama’s lackey.

Trump needs to address this specific “neighborhood” and the surrounding city. He should loudly pledge to make improvement here a primary objective. That will help augment his support among black men (the women are lost forever) in California. It may help with a few House seats there as well.

“Oxford could be heard calling the area a ‘shantytown’ that is ‘absolutely mindboggling,’ as he remarked how ‘insane it is that [city officials] allow this.’”

Allow this? They created it.

About one third of these people are seniors or people over the age of 50. Out of those, about half are working and can’t afford the high costs of rents, etc.

The rest are junkies, etc.
Every single one have different stories.

So, what is to be done? Arrest them? Put them into institutions? Prisons?

As to your later..ever been to slab city? It is an actual place along the salton sea in CA.
We have. And if it doesn’t remind a person of the Mad Max movie, nothing would.

Victor Hanson says the big Israeli cities are like ours fro 70 years ago. Safe, clean, no bums or drug users, no shantytowns.

Amazing given the nonstop fear they live under in Israel.

Liberals started teaching “tolerance” 50 years ago and that metastasized to “tolerate everything, no matter how bad for society or America.” Today, there is nothing that won’t be tolerated.

The US is becoming Haiti.

Guess where this is:

"Today, there is nothing that won’t be tolerated."

Conservatism? Patriotism? Christianity?

So a whore that got paid is now the Virgin Mary.
Go figure.
Well yes, if it hurts Trump.
Hell Monica never got this much adoration and praise.

Ironic, is it it? Liberals forced tolerance of every perversion under the sun on us, yet they morphed into the least tolerant people on the planet. Like always, they are immune from their own demands on us.

More proof that Gavin Nobrain has successfully driven California into a subpar third world state.

Yep.

If they somehow replace Joementia, with The Mask Gruesome Newsom, all Team Trump has to do is show these horrid scenes.

This is by far worse than the original Hooverville.

This makes Dickens’ tale habitats look livable, comparatively.
