How many are her honor and the city council taking in?

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.

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.

First thought: You first, Mayor.

Second thought: That picture? It looks like somewhere in the Third World. How could the politicians there let it get to that point? They need a Rudy Guiliani over there; clean up that cesspool.

You’d be doing those residents a favor as well. If a person lives in such depressing conditions, they must feel pretty awful.

I actually feel bad for political satire writers. Because the real things liberals say is crazier than anything a writer could come up with.

there’s very VERY little good about Oakland these days, but this mayor lady has given everyone a damned good laugh! (imagine the IQ of her electorate, couldn’t be above 13)

The mayor says she’s got no room in her place to do what she’s preaching, with a husband and kids and all. Looks big enough to me:

Mayor Libby Schaaf has an answer — open your door to someone in need of shelter. ................................... LOL, you can’t rent a porta potty in CA, the rents are so high. have an extra room, I’ll give you 1500-2000 a month to rent it. Yeah, good plan! ???

And exactly how many homeless are at your house, Mayor?

I think this has been tried before, don't remember what city.

The city took over abandoned property and turned it into free housing, but couldn't get the bums to stay!

Turns out the good panhandling locations and soup kitchens were too far away. They quickly tired of trying to commute and moved back "home" downtown.
