In-N-Out Burger says it will close its first location in its 75-year history due to a wave of car break-ins, property damage, theft and robberies affecting customers and employees alike at its only restaurant in Oakland, California.

The fast-food burger joint in a busy corridor near Oakland International Airport will close on March 24 because even though the company has taken “repeated steps to create safer conditions our Customers and Associates are regularly victimized,” Denny Warnick, In-N-Out’s chief operating officer, said in a statement Wednesday.

    Sounds like they should be building shelters not trying to repeal a law that is designed to help people.

      As soon as we have enough shelters, cities will bus in more homeless.

      I’m not made at homeless people. I’m mad that the system is creating almost normalized homelessness. And then that that creates political football.

      They’re people. We forget that too easily.

        If they do that. And you keep accepting new homeless people giving them security and food and helping connect them with work. Perhaps helping to build more shelters. The cycle will continue and grow and expand. The city will become stronger and stronger, and the places busing their homeless out will become weaker and weaker. Accepting them and building on to the city with them is how you win.

        It’s something we can easily support as a nation. It’s simply something wealthy. People don’t want to give up any of their privilege to do though.

          As a nation.

          It’s made an issue for the city. And as long as an issue is over 100 miles away, the solutions are simple and not owned by the group.
