Dear BART, im on the train btw a person in rage & another waving their Fentanyl pipe.
You really gotta do more abt this or no one will ride the trains!

Well well. Looks like we got some support in downtown Oakland.
Saw multiple officers riding around & had to flag this one down to ask was he real.
Let SAFETY always be the 1st thing for a vibrant community.
Walked into Walgreens on High St last night (toilet paper run). As I walked n saw abt 12 ppl in line & 2 ppl walking out in strong plastic bags w alot of goods.
Asked the guard what was up. Said thts not apart of their contract.
This is economic violence for communities.
Left home for Downtown Oakland quite early only to see no cars...guess Im taking the streets back! Massive flood on 580 freeway to mess up your day & environment.
2023 the year of surprises here on Earth especially in Oakland/Bay Area.
Dear City of Oakland,
Let us Small Business Owners work for ourselves. The crime you are allowing makes if diff to stay busy thus make a living. We are here ready to work but you aren't responding. Even the playing field & give a damn about ppl who work for themselves
When people walk arnd & say no thats not oakland, I guarantee they dont own a biz here. This is beyond out of hand where owners are now saying it hasnt happened to them 'YET'!
You'd have to be a fool to vote for the same class of politicians again. Mediocre is not a win!

Even Warren Buffet wont insure OAKLAND. Got a letter saying: 'Non-Renewal'
85.6% violent crime avg for them is 22.7% property crime 88.5% avg 35.4% ... for any1 tht thinks this is the death loop, nah, its very real! Think abt how much goes UNREPORTED.
There a thing w Korean's cooking American Breakfast. I didnt know it was a thing until I went to Seoul Korea & saw plenty of American 'style' breakfast spots.
Prospect Park in Dwntn Oakland. 16 yrs & still busy. This husband & wife team make it work.
Today, Oakland's Economy successes are due to Jerry Brown. No other Mayor has accomplished what he did & put in motion for generations to come.
Thx Uncle Jerry
Many in Oakland dont trust police.I trust getting help b4 there is a situation.
Cant call GOD. Cant call Moms. Cant call my council person. I'll stick w Oakland Police Department (OPD) who also happen to be an Oakland City Employee.
Sorry not sorry.
Fun Fact:
Many will say crime is declining n Oakland.
Property crime etc...however, true test/answer is the insurance industry.
Small biz r getting dropped in crime ridden cities. Ask me, my biz was dropped! Taking over 3 mo to find a decent policy.
Oakland isn't attracting the right type of energy to have a sustainable city. Its bleeding w tax dollars, resources, and investment tht wld make it the too City in the Bay Area. Whats happening is lack of reinvestment for generations to come. Not just abt today but tomorrow
@MayorShengThao
and her “progressive” voting bloc have lost control of the city. This is 100% a result of their failed policies around crime, homeless and education. ——————————Burglars hit nearly entire block of Oakland businesses Thanksgiving Eve
Took my lil brothers out on our annual Halloween tour of Oakland. Moms feed me Viet food & then off to see others who want peace & safety in Oakland every night of the year
Here is my buddy Matt. He owned Sequoia Fitness in Oakland but had to close bc of the economy! There is nothing that feels quite like closing ur biz nor do I ever want to find out! Here's 2 all the Small Biz's in Oakland tht have closed or soon to close. We are taking a hit!
Im on a flight to Hong Kong & sitting near a family where the dad yells out "Didnt You Run For Office in Oakland?"...
"I voted for you!. Are you running again?"
"Uuuuuugh"
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.
In Singapore enjoying everything +. Sad @ the state of the Bay Area. Weve normalized ppl not caring abt their community en mass. Workers doing bare min bc no one is watching. & politicians being promoted by voters who want to be friends w them. Vote a balanced society!
Walgreens on High St. n OAKLAND. As I was waited on by a young 18-19 yo black young man. I said: "Thx you 4 being here bc you could b doing ANYTHING else in this City."
Celebrate young black men doing the right thing.
Yday in person thx CA Attorney General Bonta for endorsing me during my Oakland City Council D4 campaign.
I said I had to get back to work...selling sex toys.
The group is calling for the National Chapter to step in and reform the local chapter. They are also asking for the removal of any member using their position to attack, misinform, or politicize and weaponize the NAACP.

on the case. “One word that best describe my feelings right now would be defeat,” woman whose family owns shop tells me. “I hope we can rise from this and stay strong”
I took a few risks: new biz in Oakland, a bar Feelmore Social, & signed a new lease that will take us to 16 years at Feelmore Adult...
You have an expiration date on ur life pls do all that you are inspired to do regardless of the state of the world. You'll be much happier
Congratulations to the crew that were able to work together to get this done. Gathering over 100k feelings about the state of Oakland /Bay Area is huge.
Congratulations on the collaboration & holding strong on the idea...and having TIME
I have faith in Oakland bc it had Faith in me. In no other City have I yet to open 2 biz w a few blks over, buy property (sell it), work for top Bay Area co.'s, direct porn, open a sex shop, open a bar, and run for city council.
Oakland, do not let me down.
Got off the fwy going home & saw a car behind me. Decided to go pst my home to a gas station & pulled in. I waited til the car came in to pull off and turn a blk , parked, lights off &...
My friend was ready on my lap. Stay alert in OAKLAND @ all times.
Cort, owner of Awaken Cafe in OAKLAND is a treasure! He started on 14th st., now on Broadway. An amazing human. He sells coffee but its more than just that
He quietly gets things done w a smile along side his Team. If I had to pick 1 person to learn frm, it wld be him!
BREAKING:
Oakland Unified (OUSD) strike is happening now. While kids are home or parents shuffling their day to find means of support. Marchers/Teachers take to Broadway to protest tht contract. OEA
Couple use to live in Oakland but now Detroit. Stopped to get a chicken sandwich frm Hot Bird in Oakland. While they waited, this happened.
Ambassador just swept up the glass like nothing happened.
Oakland is like Fight Club. 1st rule: dont talk about Oakland.
Ive been w my Barber for over 10ys. Ive seen his kids grow, go to college etc. his daughter turned 18 & she asked him could she work for my store...
YES! The power of being able to give a job right on the spot makes me proud to be in biz.
@activeasian
Just keep reporting & giving visibility to your community. Gaslighting will be there as long as your are getting the visibility. But the stories are important & need to be heard
Hundreds of Oaklanders demanded answers and action from city leaders Tuesday night amid recent sprees of violent crime that have increasingly targeted women. "It's all women," said a resident who described being attacked outside her North Oakland home.
Respectfully it wasnt abt in-n-out or Dennys. Oakland small biz need to b able to expand arnd the city & enrich all communities not jst DWNTN or Temescal, Piedmont, Laurel...give Oakland a fighting chance.
I’m sorry I just don’t see having so much upset displayed-online at least-for one Denny’s branch out of soo many in the area and the country, when Oakland is chock full of incredible breakfast and diner places run by local cooks that one could support?? Be serious 🥞☕️
The City of Oakland needs to invest in Public Restrooms. You want to bring tourism but w tht comes accommodations.
Pls stop wishing for something you have yet to plan for.
Went to check on my biz neighbor who runs the East Bay(Oakland) Korean Senior Center (Ms Kim-Selby)...I asked the gentleman if she was okay since she wasnt there. His reply:
'She's Not Dead!' ☠️
@ebyesterday
add hệ to the mi. She's a fierce elder ()
My buddy Jay Phares who owned Foothill Square b4 he died told me Oakland is valuable but has poor leadership. Its true! I moved frm Vegas 30 years ago Oakland/Vegas had 400k each. Vegas has 2+ million...Oakland do the math. Its ridiculous.
Tired of living on promises
An infant girl and relative are taken to ambulance after robbery on normalcy quiet Trestle Glen in Oakland. Man confronted the grandmother and her granddaughter and fired a shot. Both suffered minor injuries.

@KTVU
Downtown Oakland is flooding. Its 5pm hope we make it thru thr night w/o water damage. Ima new the new Administration to really get our public works in order!
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.
Who would you rather have running the City of Oakland? Sheng Thao, a feckless, bumbling inexperienced elected official? Or Chief LeRonne Armstrong, a responsible Oakland native and leader who climbed to success in OPD to become Chief, respected and beloved by residents?
@nhanson_reports
I dont believe its just abt Denny's but more so abt Oakland state of economy. A biz ran for 24 hrs has alot of workers, customers, & provide safe space under $10 in a corridor tht has high crime rates. Yea ppl shld support small biz like myself (owning a bar) cont
Movd frm Vegas 2 Oakland bc of sports Teams & Rappers 30 yrs ago. Nvr tht I wld b thinking of moving frm Oakland bc of the lack of Teams & Crime. I ran for office to try & help. But politicians only hv helped themselves here. Thr most logical cant event solve the problem!
When you see an Oakland council person walking in ur hood like they just woke up but it's not their district & hella far frm it.
Stay & Experience ur district pls.
Smh
38th is a hot spot of violence. One resident I sat w still had bullet holes sin her home. Thx GOD she wasnt there! tht street is a known problem yet nothing is done
Stray bullet kills Oakland mother of 2 inside her home
"Earlier that day everybody was kind of nervous because there was a bunch of guys hanging out gathering their weapons.. My friend walked by me he said they got hella guns over there."

@SenecaSpeaks21
I never see you doing these videos for other cities in ur district. Is it only Oakland? & how does this seat tie into these SB issues you bring up?
“Officials at the Alameda County Sheriff’s Office say, so far in 2023, they have not received a call from the City of Oakland for mutual aid support for sideshows.”
So … we haven’t asked for help. Cool cool.
