The California city of Oakland could be heading towards a change in the political climate as residents become fed up with mounting housing costs, homelessness, and crime.
Oakland, California, is reportedly headed toward a change in the political climate as residents are fed up with mounting issues such as housing costs, homelessness, and crime. 'The opposition to progressives like has been mounting, abetted by the budget crisis, frustration with crime and fallout from the FBI raid,' the San Francisco Chronicle reported. Oakland United to Recall Sheng Thao submitted its petition in June to have the mayor recalled.
It’s chaos,' said J.J. Jenkins, a bartender at Smitty's. 'Every time I think the pendulum has swung, something like Juneteenth happens. And I don’t think it’s done yet. It’s going to get worse before it gets better.' Jenkins raised concern over the surge in violence in the city, having had to close his bar early on June 19 after a shooting. 'There is a day of reckoning coming this summer for the city,' West Oakland Pastor Dr. Ken Chambers told the Chronicle.
