Rome collapsed from over-extending itself in empire-building, foreign slaves supplanted Roman workers at home and the elites sucked the nation's wealth out of the economy and kept it for themselves. Sound familiar? When the Barbarians came to town no one cared.

Salvadoran kids in l.a. in the 80s picked up machetes and knives when black and Mexican gangs treated them like perpetual victims...and Cambodians picked up machine guns as a response to the very same problems... these immigrant communities didn't moan and bitch about censorship of crime statistics and expect cops or respectable society to save them. They did what any non-domesticated, free-born human being would do and fought back... and guess what?.. nowadays Cambodians and Salvadorans are social and military equals to the other ethnic groups living next to them,rather than merely being their victims!

You are documenting one in progress. Both San Francisco and Oakland politicians got cocky in not remembering that Detroit was the richest city in the country.

I left Cali in 2011. A couple or a few years ago I saw two mainstream media news reports about the decline of San Francisco - the homelessness, the drug addicts, the needles and poop on the sidewalks. When I was talking to an old friend (who lives in San Jose) on the phone I started telling her about what I had learned. I also criticized Nancy Pelosi for allowing our city to deteriorate so dramatically while amassing great wealth for herself while in public office. My friend shouted "That's absurd." and hung up on me. We have never spoken again.

Where I’m from they’ll throw them into prison; yes, shoplifting can be a felony where I’m from and even the misdemeanor variant can land you in county jail for 6 months with a thousand dollar fine, which if not paid is another 3 months in county jail. On your 3rd offense they treat you as a habitual criminal and that turns misdemeanors into felonies; your 3rd time shoplifting can put you in prison for 3 years.

The reason that anti-police feeling takes such strong hold in urban areas is because they are regulated to death and even these slave-like libtards still subconsciously want to rebel and be fully human again. Urban life is like an open air prison for all but the ornery and recklessly disobedient... and liberal whites use the blm type movements as a way of indirectly expressing the boiling emotional frustration that their parents, landlords, employers, professors etc.wont ever let them directly and honestly express

You can get a 1 bedroom or 2bedrooms in a clean brand new building , with pool and gym , for 800 to 900 hundreds dollars a month . Only $ 350 deposit ! And laundry AC , dishwasher ect …. Some residences that are pet friendly , even have a place where you can bath your dog . It’s unbeleivable the difference with NY where everything is way over priced and dirty no matter what . Cost of living diminish by more than 50% . There are many jobs available . AND people are really chill and nice .

Other cities like Detroit or Baltimore & nations like Venezuela or Argentina, etc, (assuming elections aren't too rigged) never change their political stripes. No reason to believe the Bay Area, Calif, etc, will be any different. So everyone is in for one l-o-oong decline.

More to come in terms of these sorts of retail closures, especially within blue states, given their law enforcement reductions.

The people I really feel sorry for are all those people in west oakland who had been there for years, and were about to make a killing on their houses. I met a woman who ran a day care down there, her house had quadrupled in price, because she and her husband had toughed it out. I hope she sold before the pandemic.

I've read recently about the issues of getting in touch with emergency help nowadays in Oakland area. Just very depressing to see and hear that you can't even rely on 911 to get in touch for help when needed. Just like that one guy in an interview about this, that he doesn't even bother trying to dial 911 when something goes wrong. But that's what happens when you "defund" the very defense needed for the public. I hate to say it, but you get what you voted for.

“YOU GET WHAT YOU VOTE FOR…” is only partially true. After decades of Leftist Control, the Democrats in the Blue cities are so entrenched that there is effectively no choice when it comes to voting, no more than in Nazi Germany, Soviet Russia or any totalitarian state. Voting is not enough. There needs to be a real uprising among the political Right to end what has become an intolerable situation. There needs to be a loud and clear message “We’ve had enough and we’re not going to take it anymore.” “YOU GET WHAT YOU VOTE FOR” only enables the Left to hold on to power.

It reminds me of the hood back in the early 1980s. For miles all the windows would be boarded up for preveious businesses. Only residentials were active and anyone who needed to go grocery shopping would have to drive to another area of town, wasting more time and money. Now entire cities are becoming the hoods, from city limites to city limites.

Since you're in the EB, what I have noticed since the lockdown is a lot of businesses gone in the Berkeley downtown, they lost all 3 theaters, then if you drive from one end of San Pablo Ave from Oakland to El Cerrito, there's so many dead CRE. What I am also seeing is how these once high foot traffic areas are changed to apartments, so even if the economy recovers, the buildings where the shops & eateries were are now housing. San Pablo Ave is a long road and much of the mom & pop stores & restaurants are gone. There's no economic recovery and you can definitely say this is more than a recession, it's a Great Depression. The EB is doing worse than SF.

They've been talking a lot about doom loop, or death spiral of Democrat cities. If you look at it from a business owner who is looking to rent CRE, you are seeing many red flags like poor foot traffic, hostile business environment, history of violence/riots/looting, government regulations, taxes, it's a No Go. They will just setup shop in a better place like Florida or Texas. That's the people who are leaving Democrat states, the business people who create jobs. CA is a state just for the poor welfare, and they have nothing to do but loot, riot, tag buildings, and kill people. They can only get away with this because the criminals have their people running the government. No cash bail, no jail time, early release, hello?
