In-N-Out Burger has permanently closed its Oakland location, marking the first such closure in the company’s 75-year history. Despite being profitable, the decision was driven by escalating crime and safety concerns. According to owner Lynsi Snyder, the store endured nearly 300 incidents of violence, theft, and car break-ins annually, with reports of gunfire and stabbings on-site. Oakland's soaring crime rates, exacerbated by progressive policies and a lack of effective policing, have created an untenable environment for businesses. The closure highlights the broader consequences of lax law enforcement and misguided leadership in cities like Oakland. While In-N-Out is expanding in safer areas such as Washington and Colorado, this closure reflects the growing challenges faced by businesses in urban areas governed by progressive ideologies. This incident serves as a stark warning about the implications of prioritizing soft-on-crime policies over public safety and economic stability.
