I happy for the locals that vote nothing but progressive democrat. This is the world you want and have asked for and it is not our business to take it away from you. Enjoy your neighbors.
I'm an African American woman who grew up in Oakland CA during the 1960s and 70s. Because of this, I can explain how things got this way. As a child, I remember teachers and authorities making excuses for bullies, and coddling them. I also remember plenty of victim blaming. At my middle school, which was one of the better ones, an Asian, who was being bullied, snapped and stabbed his black tormentor with a butter knife. His parents sent him out of the country so he wouldn't face harsh penalties for killing a member of the protected class. I was fortunate to attend a Christian high school (which has since closed). I tore out of the city like a bat out of hell soon as I turned 18. It's by far the BEST decision I ever made. Why is Oakland like this? It's not the fault of Christian "oppressors", the Illuminati, capitalism, or any particular political parties. It is the mentality of criminal coddling, victim blaming, and being convinced the world owes them something.
It's part of their divide & conquer strategy alongside their tactic of creating problems on purpose so they have an excuse to grow government larger in order to "solve" the problem that they created in the first place..... This is all done by design. Why do you think California public education is some of the worst in the country? An educated population can't be subservient. You have to keep the people only smart enough to know how to work but dumb enough to keep them quiet. Most working class Californians are so ignorant to what's going on in the state, they are force-fed this "anything liberal is good, anything conservative is evil and racist" and they eat it up. I have family living in Sacramento who literally see everything going on but their attitude is "yeah well they got crime everywhere. California is still a great place."... they are ridiculously uneducated and misinformed of everything. There is no convincing them. California is a lost cause. It has to destroy itself before it can become better one day. Until that happens, I'm glad I left.
Everyone wants to sugar coat it and paint a nice pretty picture over it but many people are oblivious the decay economically and social decay of California. This is just only one city that’s like this many part of Sac, Skid Row, and Downtown San Diego look nearly identical.
@@cameronb3834 100%.... I've travelled to many different US cities and of course every place has it's level of crime, homelessness, etc but NONE are at the scale of California cities.
@@knucklehoagies ya I’m from California been here for 25 years it was super nice up until about 2013/2014 things really started to change. Homelessness increased substantially you used to see an unhoused person and you would be shocked but now it’s such a common sight.
I grew up in San Jose and as a truck driver in the 80s and 90 s it wasn't anything like this but there was alot of prostitution,drugs and punk mentality. Nobody I know ever liked Oakland unless you were a Raider fan or the concerts back in the 70s
I drive by a homeless chop shop on my way to work every day, corner of E12th and 16th Ave, you can even see it on google maps, it's wild how it's allowed to continue, and the city keeps dragging the carcasses away for the homeless so they can chop some more cars.
Obama/ Biden's globalism. They're appalled @ making America great. Can't believe 80 million + voted for this. They're the head of this ,all the Democratic Gov & mayors make sure it gets done. Tell me I'm wrong w/ this problem & bringing in millions of u housed immigrants on top of it!
i was stationed in Hawaii 20002-to 2005 and on the way from Pennsylvania back to base i would always get stuck in LA for a day or 2---i would walk around and just think this is is a dump like Cleveland lol and that was years ago
Time to build huge rehab where they must stay. If they do not have additiction, small housing to be able to work. People with mental problems also need a hospital to house them.
Yeah - this is what happens when city officials spend all of the money they get from the state on 'abating' encampments instead of facilitating ACTUAL solutions. All of these people who are now living in scattered encampments all across the city were at the Wood street encampment for 15 years. Then the city came in and evicted everyone without providing them with any sort of alternative housing options.
the churches have done more for the homeless than any government will ever do.....Government will always ne a waste of money and a squandering of funds. Stop voting for big government. and give to a church that helps homeless. vote for lower taxes and do the right thing......look a the salvation army what they have done for the homeless. stop voting for the democrats and we might have a state again.
For those people who left negative comments stating the homeless people got what they deserves for voting Democrat, I'm certain on the Last Judgement Christ won't ask what political party you belongs to? Each person has to be accountable for his or her deeds, your deeds will be laid bare, whether you're a Republican, Democrat, Libertarian, Reform, Socialist, Green Parties, Natural Law, or Consitutuon, the evildoers will be casted in the pits of Hell together.
@@CHart-hn3bwexcept in this case the posted comment is spot on! Sad even other countries can see how dems have destroyed America and making it a third world country dump
Do an annual round up!! All vehicles unregistered and on private property get towed. All people on private property remove them and their stuff or go to jail immediately. It’s simple.
Stead of the police being heroes in solving the problem of this rapid car, theft ring, and fixing the problem. They are doing nothing and allowing it to get worse. What are you paying taxes for?
Cool an 18:06 min clip that is about 17 minutes too long. You say that "We hope the raw content we show will bring light to the topic for an improved outcome." So all you do is show a video of homelessness that's it. No information on the how and why people are in this situation. All you do offer is that cops need more authority. How about instead of looking at a symptom of a problem. You look at the cause of the problem. First of all we have wealth inequality. Corporations are making record profits. Yet wages have been stagnant for decades. Unions the only group that has a track record of actually helping in this regard. Well union membership is also down. Primarily republicans have been weaking the power of unions. Like half of all Americans can't hand a sudden 400 dollar expense. That corporate greed is the 800lb gorilla in the room. Might also look at the fact that corporations and the rich pay very little in taxes. Next we have a housing crisis. No one can afford a home. Why is that? Oh yeah, corporations are buying up homes now. In Dallas Texas. 1/3 of all homes are bought by private equity firms. When people buy homes. A: It's something that can be passed on to kids B: It gets people to take ownership in an area. They have a reason to keep things clean and safe if they own and live there. Last we have drug use. Can you really blame people. There is this idea that you can pull yourself up by your bootstraps. When in reality upward mobility is now primarily a factor of zip code you were born in. You can't get ahead working two jobs, because the pay sucks. So yeah people might quit. I mean what's the point? You will never get ahead working hard. So why work at all? You have a Patrion account. You want people to donate so you can continue what you do. Why? Anyone can drive downtown and see this. All your video is, is cheap fearmongering. You need to look a little deaper and ask some real questions.
This is pretty pathetic. It’s just steps from the police station and these vehicles are all stolen when I put a couple giant bricks in front of the gates so they can’t drive the vehicles problem solved. Why don’t you contract a tow company to go in and remove all these vehicles and allow them to keep the money for the vehicles as you’re a right off as they are it’s time to charge your police force with failing to do their duties, and allowing it to go wrap it or criminals, have the upper hand.
If those people don’t care,let it all burn 🔥 down! They’ve been living in Hell all of this time why help? I don’t care about anyone that doesn’t care about them-shelf…🤷🏽♀️
What do you think is the true cause of this? Woke Ideology, Progressive politics, and corruption. The homeless problem has been funded and paid for a few times over in CA, yet its getting worse, ask you self how can that be. The homeless problem is just keeping people employed (non profits, etc). Its a big money grab w zero solutions on the actual problem. I lived in Oakland for more than 10 years spanning from 2003-2015. Im glad i got Oakland out of my system before it took me down with it.🧂🧂
The elite want the middle class gone.....thats it....thats the answer....I heard about that when I was younger and thought it was a joke... this isn't happening naturally.
has anyone ever heard of the word DUMPSTER. this is a thing you through garbage in. and has anyone ever heard the word OUTHOUSE this is something you piss and crap in. HELLO.
Exactly! When housing became expensive this is when accountability is taken out. All I see is a junkyard of 90’s and 2000’s vehicles that are phased out.
No it's due to that leftist running the state into the ground. Where I live we can afford rent, food, utilities from working. Get newsom out and put a true Republican in there, not a rino, and watch it flip around
@@theotheleo6830 This is what happened when President Lyndon Baines Johnson created ''The Great Society'' in 1964 and made a certain ethnic group believe that they are victims. Oakland and Richmond, California were actually safe places to live and work in the 1960's. He explained to another racist politician that he will ''get those n....rs to vote Democratic for the next 200 years.''
I love how assholes make documentaries on cities they aren't even from nor are they truly involved with. What suburban area did you live in before you moved to Oakland to "find yourself"?

Oakland- My home town. How sad. Absolutely incredible.
And the locals will continue to vote progressive democrats no matter how bad things are.
the progression of democracy.....
FOLLOW THE MONEY. Politicians don't live here. They live in the hills with the rich folks who give them campaign money to stay in power.
What a disgrace ..
