Description
The gateway to the Uptown area of Oakland looks like a pigs sty. Underneath highway 24 @ 27th is a horrible mess & a very negative reflection on Oakland. Please rid us of this daily eyesore, clean up the garbage & get rid of the encampment. I have a business a few block away & am sick of driving thru this daily & having my clients drive thru. My business & others in the area pay plenty of taxes to the city & deserve some services. CLEAN IT UP!!!!!!

I was really shocked to discover that technically all of Californias Redevelopment Agencies had been shut down in 2009. Because they had been breaking the law and failing to spend money on housing and schools and such. Of course our city governments were ready for that shutdown. We just implemented our sweet little Successor Agencies that very same day. And now 8 years later look at how well theyve succeeded. All these homeless people have been offered housing at places like Station House. But NOO, they DIDNT WANT HOUSING. THEY LIKE THE STREETS AND THE TRASH AND THE FECES AND THE DISEASE AND THE FIRES.
QUESTION...In order to be a Successor of something, doesnt that Something still have yo be in its position and active? Can I be appointed a successor by a queen who was disposed due to failure? Since she failed her queenly duties she wouldnt get to then tell the people of the country who was next in charge. She failed. She got booted. She was a thief. She cant put her henchmen in place to continue being crooks. And robbing the citizens blatantly. So how come Oakland got to put a successor Agency in and rob you taxpayers even more blatantly than you had been robbed before? And PURPOSELY CONTINUE THE PLANS ALREADY ESTABLISHED BY THE REDEVLOPMENT AGENCY TO CREATE THIS BLIGHT, CRIME, HOMELESSNESS, TRASH AND HELL WE LIVE IN TODAY. WHAT ABOUT CITY VENTURES? VENTURE HOLDINGS? WHO ARE THEY? HOW COME THEY GOT TO CREATE SOME OF THIS CHAOS? HOW COME THEY GET TO BUILD ON OUR LAND AND THEN SELL HOUSING AT $1,000,000.00 A UNIT? THEY ARENT BASED HERE. THAT ISNT REVENUE FOR OUR CITY? THEY ARENT EVEN SELLING TO PEOPLE IN OAKLAND. SO WHAT GIVES?
AND THEY GET TO FILM MOVIES ON OUR TAX DOLLARS? IM ANGRY. AND NOT JUST ABOUT THE GARBAGE.
Just in case anybody really wonders where all your tax dollars get spent.
That's just the tip of the iceberg. There's more.
I hear they've got some really cool new garbage trucks sitting doing nothing down in the Lower Bottoms.
How do social workers earn something called OTHER PAY? UNDER MULTIPLE SPELLINGS OF THEIR NAME? WHICH MEANS MULTIPLE SALARIES. NOT JUST SOCIAL WORKERS. OAKLAND HAS MANY JOB CATEGORIES THAT PAY MULTIPLE SALARIES TO THE SAME PERSON. WHY?
HOPE SOMEBODY ELSE BESIDES ME IS GETTING MAD. BECAUSE HECK IM JUST SOME STREET SCUM IN THE LOWER BOTTOMS FROM BERKELEYS WATERFRONT. IVE GOT NO POWER TO CHANGE THIS SYSTEM. DO I? WE DO. YOU AND I. ITS PAST TIME FOR A CHANGE.
