The number isn’t what’s shocking here, but the fact that she would speak out knowing that spreading the word like this against her boss will be the absolute end of her career in politics, that’s the point that shocks and thus gives her tremendous credibility

    I am here because I saw video not too long ago about old people being put out on the streets in Oakland-black folks who had lived in their places for a long time, getting by and, the way it was described, covid caused a bunch of back rent to add up (I start getting upset here) and now they're supposed to pay it and actually being put out of their homes. Elders!!! When I was growing up, in the 60's and 70's my dad was always taking me to Oakland to shop on the way to or from the airport and we were always the palest people there, which I think my dad loved. We swam in a sea of rich dark faces (we were stared at too, which makes me smile to picture it). ANYWAY, when I saw those older folks being kicked out of their houses because they were renters and covid shenanigans happened to us, was forced upon us, I wondered what corrupt greed was going on in Oakland these days, chasing out black people like they did to the Latinos in their San Francisco neighborhood. If they had owned, the property taxes were probably raised to the point of the elderly not being able to keep their own property where they raised their family and wanted to grow old and die in. That happened up here in Seattle decades ago--the best views, placement, whatever those people had their taxes raised to the point they lost their homes. Our world is shameless right now. Put all of these people in jail and look out for your old people! They are treasure, go find out!

    They used Covid to force gentrification on people. Run the elders out of their homes and wealthy LLC’s can come in, buy up the properties and dump a bunch of money into them. Then they rent them at a high rate and push the property values up so much that those who would’ve been able to afford to buy there can’t anymore. Democrats have made their agenda clear. You’ll own nothing and be happy. Except you won’t be happy. It’s already shady as hell that they force you to pay taxes on your own land.
