Oakland solved it's retail crime problem by shutting down all of its retail businesses.
East Oakland looks like little Haiti 🇭🇹, that’s why businesses wanted to leave
Hahah yea theres no stealing when theres nothing left to steal.
Oakland is a sad example but this is happening state wide with gaven screwus politics...and obidenomics crap.
@@danielbrown7535 I hope Gavin gets re-elected. Maybe it will teach them how to vote. Just wait for pencil neck Schiff. Nancy's getting ready to have a field day. Imagine the results of another Biden term. 🤣🤣🤣
Afterward, Hegenberger corridor should be renamed to Biden corridor.
There's zero incentive to invest in Oakland.
Losing the Warriors, Raiders and Athletics during a span of 5 years is brutal for the city.
What about black excellence?
Correct. DA and law enforcement are ineffective. Politicians are anti-business and anti-crime. Voters can't connect the dots.
@@gingerblue2265Yeah, you’re right.
Any democrat city actually.
This is what happens when the locals think stores are put in place for theft……..🙄
400 years of slavery bro.....
You guys did it to yourselves
Crime is Oakland's business, and business is good
Like NY, this is their brand.
Shit they got good ass music too.
All by design. Watch in several years this area get overhauled and become a new gentrified area.
It sounds better when you say it in a Major Payne voice.
@@ICallItAsItIs lol nyc is a city with a zillion i\opportunities and nice things to do. i live here, its nothing like oakland. what a joke. im from the bay too so dont tell me i dont know oakland either (used to live there for 3 years). lol at comparing oakland and nyc, the crime rate in oak is much higher. businesses arent closing here, bipping doesnt exist, its still one of the safest big cities in north america. oakland is done, nyc will never be
Its ok guys, the City Council of Oakland passed a resolution calling for a cease-fire in Gaza.
Should've called for a cease fire in Oakland.
@@braddouglas7839 WHY ?
@@claycoates5056because oakland has high murder rate
🤣🤣🤣
They have a better chance of getting a cease fire in Gaza than one on International Blvd. 😐
Raise an entire generation without a father in the house...and what do you expect will happen?!
Tocqueville's theory has come to fruition. The people done voted themselves right into their own oblivion.
Oh its worse than that. Now BOTH parents aren't there.
It's DNA,wink wink
2 or 3 generations now.
It's even better when some from that generation become local politicians.
The more important thing here is that no feelings were hurt
😂😂😂😂😂
Haha!
I would say that it is the MOST important thing.
A new Detroit in the making!
Same citizens, that’s for sure
Sad but true
It is already made
Lol nah detroit on another level Oakland it's own spectacular failure
LOL, people in Detroit are laughing at all the other Democrat cities going to hell now.
Are we still pretending this has nothing to do with voting blue?
there is a greater problem than who people vote for. And its called multiculturalism. People ususually vote blue on the coasts and in big cities.
They will NEVER admit to that. Never! The stupid people in CA will vote blue on their dying beds.
Yes . Yes we are .
Vote red and you get Mississippi and Alabama. No thanks
@@ErvuJuklBusinesses don’t leave those states because of crime. And they’re cheaper to live in. Nice try.
Thank Stanford Law professor Michael Romano for writing the legislation to decriminalize most theft...
Thank you for that important information!
Writing such crazy insane legislation is ridiculously easy when one doesn't have to live among the consequences of it. Thomas Sowell refers to such people as 'anointed academics'.
Shouldn't off turned to socialism and stupidity, Oakland....
That Dennys hasn't been closed for long and it's already been "tagged" .
Shows you the mindset and class of the local residents.
Yet they are stunned businesses leaving / no one willing to invest.
Oakland is done.
Decades of hard work, destroyed by a few riots over a drug addict.
And the policies, attitudes and decisions that followed.
And a thief.
ALL because people CANNOT behave themselves!!!!!!!!
A FEW??? Nonstop thefts and no law enforcement for last 2 years.
The consistent rewarding of bad behavior has failed the city
You get what you voted for.
True men when the orange. Clown was president on his way out all this start n they want him back to finish the job n bring Russia aboard
Yes that's why Alabama and Louisiana and Arkansas are such wonderful places to live
Every person who was interviewed for this piece should have been asked, how have you voted in the last 2-3 decades? Did you vote for "visionaries" ?
@@spikespa5208 yeah, the reds would have saved this place for sure. The reds, yeah. 🙄
@@ErvuJukl They aren't leaving Cincinnati anytime soon 😁
I love that the pastor is like "Times are hard the only thing you can do is resort to crime."
Yeah he does not sound like the sharpest tool in the shed. Bless his heart
And there you go. But they continue TO VOTE DEMONRAT.
Yeah, until they victimize HIM
This is wonderful news. I am happy voters are getting what they voted for.
Oakland chose this. They made their bed, and now they have to sleep in it.
Tocqueville's theory has come to fruition. The people done voted themselves right into their own oblivion.
Keep letting Democrats steal election while hoping things get better...
nah... they'll move to another city. Even the looters and thieves don't want to live in a dead city.
They don't want to mention the "group" of society that is responsible for this.
Maga domestic terrorists
They are noble how dare you mention them
Running through oakland screaming "this is Maga country"...man half the crew would be yelling back "hell ya whitey"
Maga isn't what yall think it is...and that's why it scares the shit out of goverment.
Think about that.

When you keep doing the same thing over and over again expecting different results is a sign of insanity.
Vote different.

Well, when crime is out of control, and businesses getting little to no help from police, prosecutors, and judges, I don't blame the businesses for moving elsewhere.
Defund police right, yea I remember good luck
Defund the police in the name of social justice 😂

I lived in East Oakland in the mid 70s and it was a rough area then. My wife worked at a bank and was robbed 13 times in 6 months. She got awards from the fbi for all her witness showings in court
The first sign of big trouble alarm and distress for me was when that huge Wal-Marts at Hegenberger Road totally closed down going back more than several years ago. I knew this was going to be a turning point of no return.
Those BLM marches worked wonders for communities like Oakland.
That fad has come and gone...but the damage remains
those ho mo days are limited in sf
@@danielbrown7535And they’ll blame it on someone else.
@@db-rc5frtrue...but like obidens cognitive decline its to dam obvious to gas light anymore.
Unlike obiden..blm knows it.
I honestly think blm was/ is a racist culture club.
So BLM marches have something to do with the A’s moving? Your ignorance is showing.
It’s weird how people don’t want to be around criminals.
It's a shame they keep voting to invite and protect criminals.
Even criminals don't want to be around criminals. The first thing a successful criminal does is move away from places like Oakland.
@@RobertLutece909 false. Criminals attract Criminals. Oakland is full of Criminals. Criminals don't leave the areas they make their living in .

Good thing Grandpa Joe has helped us BUILD BACK BETTER since September 6th.
@@PauloHernandezXD what's better ?
First solution is to stop denying that these issues are minor, second vote for better politicians
You can’t vote for better politicians if they’re all rich industrialist scumbags. Gotta have someone better before you can vote ‘em in
They should build a wall around Oakland and forget about it.
No, send the citizens to whichever Socialist Utopia they want. They no longer deserve to live in America.
Bye bye oakland
Fast food will be like a soda machine, swipe your card and a warm sandwich will pop out, then drive like heck to not get shot, mugged or killed. No people at all involved, just a machine serving a choice of 5 sandwiches.
I'm Lovin' It.
@UncleDavesKitchen The only In-N-Out to ever close just closed in Oakland. People were being robbed and attacked while waiting in car lane
I just said bye bye to Oakland last month. I was there since 1982.
@@th1s1kat Smart move, you at least got to see it in the good old days. Time to move on. Trees are stuck in one spot, we're not trees, we can move when the situation is no longer hospitable.
Poverty is not a excuse for crime!!!
No, it's not. There are many poor, struggling people that never commit crimes.
Poverty has absolutely nothing to do with crime. That is an excuse used by politicians and misunderstood by ignorant people. Need proof? Look at Third World countries that don't have running water and people live in the dirt. And they're crime rate is damn near zero. Most of these people committing the crime in places like Oakland and other places around the United States are far more wealthy than folks and other countries. Yet they still commit crimes. I wonder why. Could It maybe possibly be that it's a culturized trend that the young black community just loves? There will be zero change if there is no extreme authorty measures taken.
The people in Oakland are not in poverty. They just dress and act like it.
Partial blame, at a minimum, can be placed at the feet of Governor Gavin Newsom!
Figure it out people. Stop making excuses and "celebrating" the violent behavior, violent music, entitlement always the victim people that make up the majority of Oakland and 90% of the crimes. Stop sugar coating the truth.
Didn't that Denny's just close about a month ago? Has 50 years worth of graffity already!
Looking like Hill Valley SLACKERS!!!
Meth make monkey paint fast.
😂
@@chrisward4576I just posted that. The alternate 1985 where biff was rich.
When you got welfare recipients on every corner you get graffiti. That’s what they wished for tax dollars buying thugs paint for graffiti
$20 minimum wage is meaningless if democrats drive out all of the fast food restaurants.
I guess it forces in UBI.
The workers will be replaced by robots/automation, so UBI will be here before we know it.
@@BetaBuxDelux If nobody has a job, even the robots will be out of work because nobody will be able to buy fast food whether it's made by people or robots.
I like hamburgers 🍔 buddy
@@Scott-gc4pt... it's Biden, democrat soft on crime policies, zero dollar bail, and $20 minimum wage.... everything you probably voted for.
$20 min doesn’t just apply to fast food.
Whoa! Those before and after photos were off the charts!!!
Look at san franciso. Businesses are closing down there too.
He said "They're leaving the city like it's on fire". Prophetic words?😮
God I hope so. It could only be good.
If this weren't bad enough, Oakland could be on fire 🔥 if crime keeps getting worse, as they say it is.
2025, crime is down by 80% because there is no more businesses to rob. 😂
Once they run out of buisnesses they will just go into your house and rob it
It sad you think a business is the only thing to make criminals criminals, lol.
Blame the People that live in Oakland. They made it all possible. 👍👍 Thank you.
What a wonderful place to give to our new residents who have worked hard to get here!! Welcome friends!!! Peace and love!!!! Free!!! Free!!! Free!!!
Newcomers you mean, correct?
@@charlesperry6093 absolutely!! Welcome one and all!!! America is for everyone!!! Everyone should come!!!! Everything is free, america is crime a free zone and everyone is entitled to wealth and healthcare from the government!
Guy at the end said the city needs "visionaries" to make Oakland "tough" again. Isn't that why businesses left in the first place?
Right! It was one laughable comment from the townsfolk after another
Any local who wish for other people to come and save them is part of problem.
@@mukamuka0 Democrat plantation mindset.
You can buy a house for $5 million, sell for $10 million, and make a profit of $1.6 million, in California.
That what happens when the Oakland council members defund the police and then the D.A doesn't prosecute these criminals I blame the one's in charge.
lets say the quiet part outloud......until the residents of oakland realize its their own culture that does this to the city, nothing will ever get done.....
Thanks Newsom! Can't believe anyone was stupid enough to vote for you
He will win re-election by 30 points.
Heck he might become President
We thru
Many many are.
Briguy, your comment is senseless
"....but he's handsome, and he says nice things" - women voters
Women put Biden in the Whitehorse and saved Gavin from getting recalled.
Wait a minute. There are businesses left in Oakland?
Prostitution to soap....😂...and everything in between that polar opposite menu...all open air tax free.
NOT FOR LONG
Dang, that Dennys closed last month and it’s vandalized like it’s been empty for a decade. Sorry folks but I doubt any business is gonna take a chance in Oakland again.
Congratulations Oakland ! Please don't change a thing, the rest of us want to see what the "bottom" looks like (you're not there yet)
It’s so baffling that businesses are leaving such a great area. Didn’t they get the memo from city leaders and the media that crime is down compared to the same time last year!
There’s definitely less crime in a shopping center when victims have no reason to visit.
Hahahaha u need glasses to open your eyes
Only closed minded people wouldn’t see that decriminalizing crime is a good idea.
I know you left the word...REPORTED... OUT INTENTIONALLY
"Crime seems to be the only thing working in the city." Decriminalize crime and arrest police for doing their job and this is the outcome. I just hope a lot of the residents of Oakland don't move 40 miles east to my part of town.
It’s not just the people in the city of Oakland that voted for this. The virtue signaling criminal enablers should get credit too. They did it in the name of social justice. 😂
AMEN 🙏💯
Where is the location 40 miles east?
ohh we coming. ur homes still relatively affordable? ohh yeah its a wrap.
Criminals dont want to work. That's why they're robbing and stealing.
I'm British and have read about all of the shop lifting, which goes unchecked in the USA no wonder shops close down.
Why ????... Oakland is a WONDERFUL place to live... It's safe, everyone is really nice, it's very affordable, and there's very little crime.... Said no one, ever.....
The Democrat utopia is here! Oaklanders, enjoy it while you can.
Just in time now they deserve to see what real communism looks like. It’s what they wished for.
OH YOU SHUT UP, BENSON THE TRUMPSTER FREAK!!!!!
Meanwhile red states like Mississippi , Alabama and Louisiana are worse.
Whats the difference between Haiti, Somalia and Oakland. Nothing, they are the same.
😂
Haiti and Somalia don't have BLM.
Hehe, I was about to say that. Shithole countries and a shithole city.
The same difference between Ukraine,russia,and israel
Cannibals
No one’s gonna blame the thieves within their own community, huh? What business would want to invest into an unsafe area where all their shit’s gonna get stolen?
Wake up & start voting for politicians with Law & Order & common business sense.
My daughter worked at the Hagenberger Black-bear Restaurant and got held up many times. Near the Shell Gas station there was homeless encampment of abandoned trailers and cars which was part of the decline. The Blackbear is a franchise and the franchise owner ended up closing . I have great memories of eating at the Haganberger Blackbear Restaurant - sorry to hear about the troubles.

"optimism and visionaries" is what got Oakland into this problem in the first place.

This is what happens when you have chitty leadership, when you're soft on crime, and when you keep letting the same criminals back out on to the street. You reap what you sow Oakland.
That minister doesn't understand that those businesses are closing because of robberies and other crimes. Therefore, stating that those closures will lead to more crime is a moot point.
lol. It's the good old chicken and the egg question.
"moot"
@@scottcates
Ok thanks
Pretty sure he understands. Just doesn't want to give up his lifestyle yet.
@@henryt9281
Exactly, he talks like it.
You don't need "visionaries" you to enforce the rule of law. Pretty simple. I used to fly to the Bay Area every week for business from SoCal. I enjoyed flying into Oakland International Airport. I always filled up my rental car at the Shell gas station on Hegenberger. My last time (and it will be my last time) using this station I went inside to purchase a soda and a thief broke into my locked car and took my carry-on. Despite his fat belly he was amazingly quick. Apparently, this is a common occurrence. I suspect the owner of the gas station probably gets a cut of the proceeds. Oakland? No way!
Yep, I got bipped at the shell in July while I was literally standing at the pump filling my rental. Worse yet Oakland PD sat there and watched it all happen and did nothing. After flying in twice a year for a decade I’m saying never again. Your money and my money may just be drops in a bucket but their are a lot of drops filling that bucket up that are leaving Oakland and never coming back. I hope they are happy with themselves. From now on I am flying my daughter back home for visits instead of me going out there. It’s a shame because I had a lot of good times out there. Never again.
This is a beautiful story. Finally a group of voters getting exactly what they voted for....How refreshing!!
Set it back decades??? I used to work in Oakland "decades ago" (1980s) and the Hegenberger area was a nice area. They should be so lucky as to be back to that.
Da Lin should study how much the community members stole from the community. Why don't they provide statistics on criminals and how often they commit the same crime because they were let out again and again? Stop blaming businesses and blame the community and community leaders who blame everything other than the community members who stole from these businesses?
~ Poor Parenting ... and then they turn @ and Blame all the Politicians
The politicians you elect have the same issues as the youth your community raises.
Hmmmph.
The politicians they vote for .
Or worse yet, blame slavery 200 years ago. The Islamic Barbary Pirates of Islamic North Africa captured over 1 million Christians/Europeans and put them into slavery. Google it, “Barbary Pirates slavery”. And yet to be fair, during that same time European Christians enslaved over 2 million non-Christians.
What did parenting have to do with the decision of the A's leaving Oakland or the Rams leaving Cleveland, L.A. and St Louis or the Chargers leaving San Diego or the Dodgers leaving NYC or the Oilers leaving Houston just to name a very few.
@@danielebrparish4271 Daniel doesnt live in reality lol, its ppl like you that made oakland the way it is, cognitive dissonance at its finest
Thanks Gavin
Oakland's mayor said that with the closure of all the businesses in the Hegenberger Corridor, the crime rate (in the city) has dropped significantly.
it's pretty bad when you lose all your major sports teams. kinda too late now. oakland probably haven't even hit the bottom yet.
2 yrs minimum for a break in the fall....but my money's is on the won't rebound in decade or more.
They are nowhere near bottom. It will take another 20 yrs. Leave Gavin in office and it will accelerate. Leaving Biden in office would be the best way to go in a takedown like that. Shifty Schiff is coming in hot too. Nancy gets hot just thinking about it🤣🤣🤣
Yea the ship is still sinking fast.
This is Newsom's California. Own it, Gavin!
Gosh, I live just outside Atlanta and the same thing happens all the time around here.. We can't figure out the problem either?
No one interviewed will say
anything about government policy.
Amazing what happens when you follow a progressive fairy tale and don’t prosecute criminals. What did Pamela think was going to happen?
I think decent people were too empathetic. They thought of the golden rule, treat others as you wish to be treated. Well intentioned, but naive. People have a hard time realizing that some people really are *bad* and can't really participate in society.

@@danielebrparish4271Why does everyone believe blue states are successful because of Democrats? Lmao I'll have you know California wasn't originally a blue state. Republicans were the ones who ushered in the "California Dream" back in the 70s and 80s. Back then Cali was the place to be. Nice weather, jobs were plentiful, cost of living was comfortable, and tourists were coming in from all over to enjoy it. Everyone wanted to move to Cali. After Democrats took over in 92 now people want to leave Cali 😆
@@danielebrparish4271no actually they wouldn’t. All the worst parts of Arkansas, Mississippi, and Alabama are run by democrats and diversity hires. All the most dysfunctional and crime ridden parts within red states tend to be blue urban areas. The reverse is also true.

It is sad of what was happening in Oakland. The citizens itself destroyed their own land. I will not be surprised if other big businesses will be deserting the crime-ridden city of Oakland.
High emotion, low IQ plays a big part, add in metal illness and drugs.
Pretty much, similar to Detroit. You reap what you sow.
Pamela Price and Sheng Thao likes it this way.
lets be real, those two are the deviI but the people of oakland (certain demographics) are committing the crimes, lets never forget that
All demographics commit crimes
DEI hires. Nothing is expected of them.
It's not them. It's the voters who put them in their position to begin with. All of this recall will make no difference. They will just replace them with another progressive clown.
Perhaps this area can be turned into a national monument that honors diversity. People of every color have built Oakland and call it home. Prominent leaders in civil rights, government, art, and industry have come from the area. The Hegenberger corridor can be rebuilt as a beautiful pedestrian and bicycle park, and amphitheaters can be spaced throughout for live performances. Sculptures done by local artists can adorn the place as well.
Why is no one talking about how terrible the management is of California by Gavin Nuisance, and Sacramento lawmakers? Do you really want communism in California? Are you so dim that you think socialism will solve these issues? And who will you tax, when all the businesses leave, and the people have no employment? Wake up. Stop voting with your emotions and understand all your well meaning votes, result in terrible consequences.
I lived in “The Town” Oakland from 1986 to 2002. Things were a lot different back then. I had an apartment in the lake Merritt area in my 20s. I used to shop at East Mount Mall, MacArthur Broadway Center way back, catch a movie at the Grand Lake theater and the Paramount theater for concerts and comedy shows. I remember taking my son bike riding around lake Merritt and going to Fairyland when he was young. I miss those days 😢
The workers at the taco bell seem a lot more happy now
Oakland people thanks to mayor and city council fall of city.
It's the community's culture. Wherever the community goes, blight follows.
Most of the people in this video will vote the same way and can't connect the dots.
Funny how democracy is apparently at fault for this?
the problem is now crime is moving into Oakland's neighboring town, such as San Leandro, Castro Valley, Hayward, etc....
1981: Escape from New York
1996: Escape from Los Angeles
2024: Escape from Oakland
The Mayor saids that Oakland is fine.
Politicians are at fault but the biggest perpetrator of the downfall of O town is its people. The PEOPLE that live there are the ones doing the stick ups and bipping and robbin, blame yourselves and your lack of accountability due to its racist if you call crime out, you voted for it
Depends on your definition
What the mayor meant is she's fine in Oakland. Unfortunately, for the rest of us, we are not.
Everyone loves to cry about the politicians (yes they are weak virtuesignalers) but one fact remains and is never pointed out: THE CRIMINALS. The next mayor will do the same thing as the last 10 mayors. Virtue signal, be too scared to call out who the criminals are, that keeps the crime loop going. Oakland needs to stop being afraid to lockup its criminals, el salvadorian style. Theres a small minority of demographics that commit most of the crimes, stop letting them out and enforce the law.
she meant her pension and her hefty salary, not Cokeland!
