It's happening all over. There's a homeless area on the outskirts of Bozeman, MT that's just beautiful (green grass, mountains rising up in the near distance) where there is one or two long streets with campers lined up. Apparently almost everyone living in the campers, trailers, etc. work and some are even small business owners. So outrageous. The wealthy arrived in droves and home prices and rental costs went through the roof. Societal collapse all around us, aided and abetted by local, state, and federal governments.

What’s truly amazing is that while our country spends billions of dollars on the military industrial complex & creating conflicts & wars overseas that it turns a ‘blind eye’ towards resolving the basic needs of it’s citizens. Homelessness, mental illness, poverty, starvation, in drinkable water, etc. Politicians only boast about what they’re doing to resolve homelessness but are they? Daily homelessness is increasing as the economy nose dives while coronavirus has killed over 200,000. Thanks for social services & some concern activist to Get Oakland’s City Council attention.

If you have money in a bank up $250,000 its insured by the FDIC so it doesn't matter if the bank goes belly up and I think you can spread that out over multiple banks. He must have had almost all his assets in some sort of uninsured investment funds. Just proves that you should always keep maybe 30% of your assets in cash or some insured repository.

This is crazy, i lived in oakland for 14 years. I come from a middle class family, went to the Air Force and when I got out of the military from my last duty station in California I moved to Oakland cause it was the most affordable. Within a few turn of events I became homeless myself sleeping in my car. I was on the verge of sleeping on the streets when I decided to reach outside to an apartment manager that I knew. By the grace of God she let me into one of her units for three months for free with the promise of paying it all back once I started school using my GI Bill. I thank God for her and my situation definitely humbled me. Praying for this man that God brings him out of this misfortune.

I'm afraid he might make a bad mayor because with all his brains, he hasn't the wisdom to see that more housing just uses up more space, which we don't have. What do you do when there is no more space left? If you have no answer to that, then you don't need to be Mayor, for your temporary solution only makes the real problem worse. That's a no vote from me.
