Review of Oakland, California


Watching the destruction of a beautiful city!
Star Rating - 4/14/2021
I moved to Oakland because of its racial diversity in the early eighties although I've seen some ups and downs in this visually beautiful city, it has never been as bad as it is now. Homeless camps and trash everywhere, Illegal dumping and blight litter our streets and sidewalks, crime & lawlessness totally out of control, there is no police enforcement unless there is a dead person or shooting thanks to the city' councils anti-police politics.
Third world roads, dangerous sideshows, unbearable noise and lawlessness around lake Merritt (Oakland's central park) on weekends and the WORST city leadership imaginable.
My city has become outlaw, not suitable for peace and law abiding citizens. VERY SAD
