Looks like the sky-high income disparities are causing crime to explode in the Bay Area including Oakland.
It is Brazil times 100 in Oakland. The tech-workers in their high-rise offices coding away getting paid with venture capital, much of it from foreign sources while choas and some of the world's worst desperation and robbery rates just hundreds of feet below.
Interesting, how Wyoming and Utah County where in overwhelming percent of the population is comfortable and secure how they don't have the problems
There are hundreds of thousands of people in Oakland who have very little left to lose. Tremendous amounts of people shivering in the wet winter cold with no shelter, no food and with California's low Medicaid reimbursements rates hard for them to see a doctor unless it's a life and death emergency.
2,587 robberies in Oakland with just 425,000 people just so far.
100 robberies in Wyoming with 575,000 people
47 robberies in Metro Provo/Orem with 633,000 people
It basically turning into Brazil times 100. Where there is perhaps a tenth-of-the population swimming in stock options and venture capital from all over the world and then at ground level in the streets of their cities complete choas with some of the world's highest crime rates.
In the midst of such a short-term guilded age where a tenth of the population is blessed with venture capital and Saudi Arabian oil funds and sits in high-rise office buildings protected from the street choas below.
Thank your liberal do nothings for the rampant homelessness and all but legalized drug dealing in California and other sanctuary cities for the massive spike in crime. Insurance premiums are up, with more hikes on the way.

Would be a better comparison if those crimes as a percentage of population. Otherwise there is no way to compare a city with 1,000,000 residence versus 30,000 residence.
