Oakland, California, is now so dangerous that city street crew workers will not go out and fill potholes in the streets because they fear being robbed, shot at, or otherwise attacked as they work on the roads.
Thanks, Democrats.
Per Fox News:
An East Oakland community’s roads remain mottled with gaping potholes after safety concerns led a construction crew to abandon their repaving project, according to a local report.
“He essentially said that the work was suspended and he couldn’t tell me the time frame when they would return because the contractor halted all the work because they felt unsafe,” Shari Angarano, a resident of the Sobrante Park area, told the Daily Mail of her recent call with the project manager.
“They were not going to restart the project until the City of Oakland could guarantee a safe work environment for them,” she added.
Do you blame these workers for not wanting to put their lives at risk just to fill potholes?
I sure don’t.
But that is what Democrats are doing to all our big cities.
