There's a good reason why I step on the gas when I pass through Oakland on the 580 or 880, especially around the Fruitvale exit.

As for homeless encampments, they are all over the Bay Area.

My elderly relatives spoke often about what an incredible city San Francisco was in the 50s and even into the 60s - my mother said you didn’t go there unless you dressed up, it was a very formal, elegant city at that time. I’ve seen the old videos and they are heartbreaking compared to what SF is now.

True of every big city in the USA, of course.
I lived in San Francisco for a few years starting in the summer of ‘73. It was a wonderful place.

Note one man who got out of the dump saying what’s caused it is drugs.
When Addicts are honest they all say that anyone taking drugs know the lifesyle they will end up in.
Most homeless are not homeless..... they are druggies who lost their homes and families because of their drug use and desire to get high....and sustain that lifestyle.

Its amazing when you go back and see video of San FranciscoYep! Years ago I enjoyed going there. Today I do not even consider going there. San Francisco is committing slow suicide.

You mean a Brandon-vil. They used to call them Hoover-vils during the Depression, so turnabout is fair play.

From the link:
... the government began working on a fence along the Israel-Egypt border, which was completed by 2012, thereby bringing further illegal crossings to near zero.
Golly!
What a concept!

When people were going hungry in prior centuries, they knew what to do. You simply WORKED or starved.This has been around a LONG time!!

If you give a homeless bum money you’re giving them a down payment on their next hit of drugs. I don’t care what they look like and where they’re begging at (e.g, a ‘family’ at the local Walmart, for instance).

Sounds like the sequel to “If You Give A Mouse A Cookie”.

That’s very true. Also they have the ‘sympathy script’ down to a science. And they’re always going to go to rehab tomorrow. It’s all BS.

Oakland. So famous overseas.

The rest, move all support systems into a desert and let them follow. Kind of a “Mad Max” junkie style. Except they have food,water, and MASH style medical care.Burning Man isn't until late August, but it's an interesting approach.

The degeneration of this city is a severe warning sign for our country and its health.
Consider that Oakland, CA is a major West Coast port city and (per Wikipedia) the fifth-busiest port in the U.S. per cargo volume. It is an intermodal shipping port and was the West Coast terminus of the new transcontinental railroad. For such a significant and strategically important city to suffer decline can bode very bad things.
