On Oakland, speaking with Fox News, Seneca Scott, founder of Neighbors Together Oakland says Oakland and San Francisco have become the promised land of milk and fentanyl… adding that homeless people in Oakland are now typically not from the city.
Drug addicts have, recently, been flocking to “Fentanyl Island” a patch of land between 7th and Brush streets in West Oakland which Scott describes as an open-air drug market that is home to dozens of burned-out vehicles. Further, Scott believes that the influx is for the safe and easy access to their drug of choice and the ability to also steal to support those habits because there’s no rule of law.”
