No illegal immigrant (unskilled labor) is making enough money to buy a home in the San Francisco East Bay where the median price is $800,000.

You FAIL common sense again, ignorance is bliss.

Three Mexican couples living in a one bedroom apartment can pay more rent than Granny.

Proof #2: California tenant law no longer enforces the 2 + 1 rule = any apartment can have 2 tenants per room, plus 1. I.e.:

1 bedroom apt = 3 person limit
2 bedroom apt = 5 person limit

No longer enforced. Years ago I read of 16 Latinos sharing a one bedroom flat in the Mission, one guy slept on a pallet on a landing.

Get out of Anioch / Diablo once in a while. Bogus, illogical example. Not applicable.

And leave your barnyard insults elsewhere. FAIL.

That's not what he said. Are you capable of reading his very next sentence? Besides oxytrol, what drugs are you on?

I rent so much "free" space in your dome, even at 5:37 am.
You continue to follow me around like a little puppy dog.

How cute!

Told you months ago the officers that take breaks on my block are like "whatever" apathy is at an all time high, they don't care to deal with problems politicians have created. Chasing someone down for stealing baby formula because they can't afford it is counterproductive at best. If there was gainful decent paying jobs the crime would not be at the levels they presently are. why bother working a job that when you don't make enough to pay your bills? Might as well commit crimes because either way your F Ed . Other part involved is the police were designed to police black people not anyone else to varying degrees. The Black population is virtually non existent in Oakland. 3 days ago two stolen cars both with 4 Hispanic youths in ski masks pushed a Mercedes suv off the block called 911 busy signal. Policy and politicians created all of these problems. Nobody is being truthful about how these issues were cultivated thus a remedy is impossible to find nor implement. In these 3 weeks I have my mailbox broken into/ dope fiend climbed over cyclone barbed wire into my yard I escorted her off my property, told her if catch her in this neighborhood it will be problem. Called 911 it rang for 5 mins till vm picked up , I hung up. Two nights later I caught some spray painting my fence, I got a "I'm sorry OG " made him give me 40 bucks to paint over the tag . Things are a hot mess

So you realize Democrat politicians created these problems, including Harris, for legalizing drugs, raising the theft level to $950, not prosecuting crime, cash bail, defunding the police, not prosecuting crimes, pushing an open border, and being hundreds of officers short in The City and Oaktown.

Crime begets crime. No punishment spurs more crime. Lack of investigators and pro-criminal DA Pamela Price spurred even more crime. Citizens stop reporting crime, and leaders lack common sense. Lake Merritt has only roughly a dozen drug users living there, easy to remove. I've walked the lake w a friend, we pick up trash, he says next AM the trash is back.

The Black population is there, just decreasing. If I recall around the Coliseum, International at various sections, Black street walkers dominate around 4th - 20th, and in West Oakland.

Blue collar jobs that still exist go largely to Latinos, who then recommend their brother, primo, tia, or soccer friend when any job opens up. Latinos also learn skills, and are mechanics, carpenters, roofers, cement work, truck drivers, etc. Thete are still African Americans employed at the Port. They could 'pay their bills' if they learned a trade, but yes, Latinos are locking them out of many jobs, and it appears Asian American small business owners are reluctant to hire AA.

I'm sorry you have to (or choose to) live in such a sh Ithole. Dealing with that type of stuff surely has lead to your overall attitude.

Price deserves to be recalled just due to her idiotic hairstyle.

As an Oakland resident: I'll say that I did vote to recall Price. When she blocked a local journalist from attending her press conference, basically because she didn't like negative stories being written about her, that was disqualifying to me.

Couldn't quite get there with Thao. I don't think she's good, but I wasn't sure she'd actually done anything recall-worthy. Not shedding any tears over that one either though.

I admit, not proudly, I didn't vote this time around. I promised myself that if I saw anything on the CA ballot that I would have voted for win or come close to winning (in my short voting history, nothing has) I'd start voting again. This result gives me hope again.

Madame D.A. and Madame Mayor, Adios Vaqueros

" Price "wouldn't be removed immediately," said David McCuan, a political science professor at Sonoma State University, but there would be pressure on the supervisors to replace her quickly.

"If you look at Chesa Boudin's recall in 2022, you're talking about within a matter of weeks, usually a couple of weeks," McCuan said."

It works for me. The main problem was folks would steal, get caught, get released, and then steal again. This process would repeat over and over. At least cops and criminals now will know that multiple offenses will actually lead to incarceration.

Virtue signaling and performative nonsense. It's all Republicans really have.
