Oaklander here. Shit has really gone downhill over the past decade. Tents started popping up about 15 years ago, and now some parts of town honestly make District 9 look nice. I see stuff in this down that I never thought I would see in an American city.
Edit:
Context: this is what I drive through to get to the hardware store. This street view is 3 years old. It’s actually worse now.
