Here’s how AWFUL Oakland, California is Today. Is it Unfixable?
Some say Oakland is Hell on Earth.
Of all the bad places I’ve been to in the United States, I don’t know if I’ve ever been to a city that’s as vastly rundown, abandoned and out of control as Oakland, California. It’s a very ugly, rough, littered, dangerous place where the laws aren’t enforced and the crime is staggering. I drove around Oakland for an entire day in late October of 2021 to see what it was like these days. And I don’t recall seeing any part of this city that was welcoming, safe or clean. It was really quite an experience.
Oakland has had trouble for decades now. In the 1990s, it was home to an explosion of gangs and drug use, though a lot of the gang activity here isn’t nearly as bad as it was 30 years ago. Then, following the Bay Area tech boom came a spike in the cost of living, which priced out the lower class. Over the last 5 years, the cost to rent or own a home is pushing even more people out into the streets.
Oakland is drug filled. It’s a graffiti covered shell
