I know District 4 will vote diff in the future. There should be a hard line on theft. Taking away from businesses is a crime that hurts not only commerce but the livelihood of those that work for themselves. This that bullshit I would not tolerate as a CC or Mayor of Oakland
The City of Oakland failed to meet an application deadline for state funding to tackle rising retail theft. Four more businesses were burglarized in Oakland's Montclair neighborhood Friday morning.

Just walked the length of College Avenue in Oakland. An entire mile. Saw not one crime and not one OPD officer on foot or in a car. Saw no indication of broken glass on the street except for one single parking spot. All the infrastructure was impeccable maintained. No graffiti.
