Squalid wooden 'shantytown' springs up in Dem-run Oakland
|
Lots of the usual Daily Mail photos.
[Daily Mail, where America gets its news] Shocking footage has emerged showing a gigantic 'shantytown' that has sprung up in Oakland, as the California city's slide into crime-ravaged squalor continues.
Michael Oxford, the host of CaliBased, posted a video on May 31 of massive temporary houses built along service roads that open up into main roads in Hooverville, Oakland.

The footage showed trash strewn around scores of houses that were built of wood, tarp and other discarded materials.
Particularly shocking was just how large the 'shantytown' is, with a lengthy stretch of road in the Bay Area city covered with the makeshift dwellings.
Oakland's descent into a dystopian hellhole comes despite its enviable location in the San Francisco Bay area - one of the most naturally-beautiful locales in the United States.
And while both Oakland and neighboring San Francisco are home to huge numbers of wealthy people thanks to the tech boom of nearby Silicon Valley, both cities have become associated with filth and crime increasingly blamed on progressive policy.
Earlier this month, city administrators were forced to remove traffic lights from one busy Oakland intersection and replaced them with stop signs after the electrical boxes that controlled the traffic lights were repeatedly tampered with and copper from them was stolen.
Oakland's two most visible lawmakers - progressive Mayor Sheng Thao and her DA Pamela Price - are both facing recalls over soft-on-crime policies blamed for ruining the city.
One in thirty Oakland residents had their car stolen in 2023, with violent crime also soaring.
Thao backed defunding the police earlier in her career, with Price parroting her focus on 'equity' when prosecuting crimes.
Critics say she has effectively put the needs of criminals over those of victims.
And earlier this year, there was humiliation for Oakland when In-N-Out Burger closed a store for the first time in the company's history.
They did so because the restaurant location, close to the city's airport, had become a notorious target for burglaries, leaving customers and staff under constant threat of violent crime.
