So , OPD and Oakland's DOT has done little to no research on the "takeover/slideshow" activity . No wonder its getting worse and worse ... remember the plastic dots they thought would remedy the "lawless visually violent activity"

How can one expect to change a situation if they don't know or understand what is a play ?

DEI hires ???

Geez us h Christ

Why wouldn't they hire an expert ?

If they arrest the perps or confiscate cars, they'll be accused of racism - if they're POC.

I brought a friend to a taqueria on International late one night, and some loud donuts were spun in the middle of the intersection a block or two from where we ate.

What's at play? Youth (youth is invincible), need for excitement (natural), no respect for laws or safety, some only modestly employed (so they can stay up late), no healthy hobbies, no Father's, and no vision / plan for the future.

Ic you are going to continue to be a racist ignorant liar. Racism has your mind all messed up to the point where logic/truth is non existent.

Knock it off ... You /your mindset is reason this world is cooked.

sorry, nope, literally the reason this world is cooked is slow motion but relentless CO2 trends, and more importantly nobody (in power) cares

Common sense leaders would thin forests, cut fire trails, conduct controlled burns, fill reservoirs, hire competent managers, and think proactively.

That would have prevented Trillions of tons of CO2 from needlessly being dumped into our atmosphere the past three decades.

It would also mean healthy forests, cheaper lumber, and an established - though smaller - lumber industry.

Yeah! Controlled burns don't release ANY CO2 into the atmosphere!

By the way, we DO fill reservoir almost every year, rain and snow permitting. We just don't do it in January.

Let me be more specific:
- first, thin out trees, including unwanted varieties (in some areas, too many pines)
- clear out ladder fuels where possible and cluttering small trees
- then small, controlled burns (including taking out manzanita)

Probably a fraction of 1% of what a PP fire emits.

No, the last two years we didn't fill the San Luis Reservoir all the way; flood irrigation is limited; as is replenishing our aquifers.

Last year snowpack and rainfall were at about 110% of normal, where Central Valley farms got 40% of contractually allotted water, and then 10% in June (too late to plan).

The Pamela Price Era Being Scrubbed

Ursula Jones Dickson becomes Alameda County's new DA


https://www.berkeleyscanner.com/2025/02/20/courts/ursula-jones-dickson-appointed-new-alameda-county-district-attorney/

The fun bits:

"During her first full day on the job, Alameda County's new district attorney, Ursula Jones Dickson, wasted no time in taking action to get "back to business."
That included having Eric Lewis, chief inspector under recalled DA Pamela Price, walked out of the building, office sources told The Scanner. His replacement has yet to be named.
The DA's office did not respond Wednesday to a late-day inquiry about Lewis' current employment status.
But an internal investigation at his prior job found that he committed misconduct when he was deputy chief at Oakland PD and then retired before he could be fired.

….. Jones Dickson said she also plans to survey all the prosecutors in the office, including the many hired by Price, to find out about their needs and goals.

"We have a lot of lawyers who have not done DA work before," she said.
That includes many prosecutors who do not know how to do a jury trial or a preliminary hearing, she said.*

…… Another early order of business, she said Tuesday, would be to hire a forensic auditor to comb through office finances."**

*The Trump Justice Dept. has the same issue as the DA.'s Office under Price: Ideologue loyalists that literally can't find their arse in a courtroom using both hands.

**Did any money go out the back door in a wheel barrow? We shall see.

When these projects started I wondered to myself who was going to be able to afford the rent. In 2017 did my Land Use final project on the MacArthur Bart housing TOD and the subsequent changes in Height allowance which accommodated the tower. The mix use space on the street level has never been leased...alot of dwellings that are unaffordable
