A once-decent city with many amenities
Now a dangerous hellhole ruled over by a communistic radical Democrat gang

Not only is it unsafe to walk the public streets, people even try to avoiding driving through town lest they suffer a car breakdown and get stuck there (or get rammed)

Oakland’s biggest problem is that the policies aren’t progressive enough. Keep accelerating to the left, until utopia is achieved. Just look at San Francisco: almost there!

Drastic action would have been the mayor being led to the gallows.

That area is going to be interesting in a decade.
