Another issue, since Caltrans has jurisdiction of the nearby freeway adjacent area, there is not much either city can do.

Haven't been in the San Francisco area in many years now, was one of my favorite cities in Northern California.
The first picture in your link is very disturbing. A shame it's been allowed to get so bad a major corporation is threatening to walk out.
Good luck to you San Franciscans/Oaklanders, I mean it. That needs a lot of help. Read several threads over here about what's been happening (and not happening). Sure hope someone can get it under control. A beautiful city such as this deserves more, as does all of her citizens.

We frequent both those locations for convenience and yes, it's completely out of control at the Oakland store. They had a news report recently that the HD was paying to have cops there during store hours due to theft. The city needs to stop twiddling their thumbs.

It's only been like this for like a long time...

Can't say I'm surprised either, when people run cities a certain way, things can get outta control.

Hmmmmm:
Miami
Seattle
Portland
Washington DC
philadelphia
New York
Chicago
St Louis
Denver
Salt Lake City
Honolulu
San Diego
Los Angeles
San Jose
Phoenix
Las Vegas
...

But say, why limit ourselves to cities? Check out whole countries here:

Note the stunning numbers higher than the US by ratio ...
Russia, China, Ukraine, Australia, Canada, Bosnia ....
All “run a certain way”?

Great response, I never elaborated on my comment so your response actually makes no sense. I did this on purpose as well- so people like yourself as usual would jump the gun and start trying to point fingers, get upset, feel the need to provide links, stats, etc...which you have now started to accomplish. As Borat once said- Great Success!

Your backstroke needs work, Borat.

(Btw: I didn’t elaborate in my response either.)
(Also note, I provided data ... not opinion.)
