Drive On By…
A hastily-done riposte to all those Oakland boosters who go on about the exquisitely-prepared second world coffees and chai lattes and world-beating hipster food and affected clothing stores the city likes to think of as symbolizing itself. This is just part of one of the homeless camps in plain sight in Oakland that might better symbolize the city — and California as well, of course. Hundreds of Oaklanders live like this (and not through choice); tens of thousands of Californians do as well, in this self-proclaimed Most Progressive Of All Possible States. Yay Oakland! Yay California! Let’s show the world the future California’s making for us all!
