It isn’t some big conspiracy theory, that’s a distraction from issues you know are very real.
People just want crime to return to pre pandemic levels, like it has in nearly every American city, so Oakland can thrive like it was.
Why hasn’t it here? What’s different now?

this resolution has zero impact on the outcome of the conflict and at best is a distraction from the critical issues we face here at home (that your body is so miserably failing to address). at worst, it increases the division and alienation in our community, amplifying the most
Last night the Oakland City Council voted on a resolution to call for a ceasefire.
A city council member tried to insert language condemning Hamas.

Sheng Thao is cooked.
Oakland Mayor Sheng Thao allegedly caught up in a pay to play scheme, divvying up the commissions and appointments. Her chief of staff resigned over it and complained to the city council and ethics board and nothing happened.
Now the FBI raided Thao’s home. 🤯

-crime is bad - down a bit this year thankfully but still dramatically above where it was pre pandemic
-development and economic activity is mostly on
