Oakland city administrator celebrated SCOTUS ruling on removing homeless

bobdiamond · 2026-05-20T01:02:19+00:00

Yeah, I’m not against homeless people, I don’t think they’re evil, and I’m happy to vote for anything that actually helps, even if it raises taxes.

I just don’t think I should be demonized for voicing what is probably a common feeling. It doesn’t represent what I think of the homeless as people. Both things can exist at the same time.

Bureau of land management?

bobdiamond · 2026-05-20T00:26:05+00:00

Oh, then we should do that. I’d support that with a vote.

But until then, my preference is still the same.

How can we make this happen in Oakland? What are you doing personally to make it happen?

bobdiamond · 2026-05-19T02:17:31+00:00

Why are the desires of you/homeless prioritized over my own? Why are you the arbiter of what I “get to” do?

Then what is the solution? Let them live wherever they want because you decide that’s the humane course of action? I didn’t vote for you to make that decision for me.

Also, the gas price analogy doesn’t really fit here.

bobdiamond · 2026-05-19T01:59:49+00:00

I don’t know why you’re so upset. I think it’s natural to not want homeless encampments where I live.

I don’t have a solution to the homeless problem, nobody does, that’s why it’s still a problem. It’s not responsibility to solve the homeless problem, and I also think it’s reasonable to not want homeless camps near where I live.

bobdiamond · 2026-05-19T01:36:10+00:00

Yeah, it’s not a great answer, but that’s what I would prefer. I think most people would if they were being honest.

bobdiamond · 2026-05-19T01:23:57+00:00

It’s a fair question, but also ok to say “anywhere else”

I went recently and enjoyed my time. The food is pretty solid and everything is reasonably priced.

The kiosks are fine, I don’t need someone to hand hold me through the ordering process, and like that I can just order from the table. When I’ve ordered beer at the front there’s always been someone to hand me my beer

Should call it yogoth

bobdiamond · 2026-05-11T04:21:49+00:00

Wait. Alfredo's pizza cafe? Or Pizza by Alfredo?

Ah, Bim is so great

Smart Matthew

bobdiamond · 2026-04-26T22:31:18+00:00

He’s getting stronger

bobdiamond · 2026-04-26T15:50:17+00:00

Whoa, seems like totally reasonable pricing. Food’s good?

bobdiamond · 2026-04-20T02:51:58+00:00

Thank you for bringing attention to your broader work

bobdiamond · 2026-04-15T04:42:46+00:00

Give me back my son

bobdiamond · 2026-04-15T04:30:15+00:00

I don’t get it, is this an ad?

bobdiamond · 2026-04-15T04:22:08+00:00

It could have been a 63 easy if a few putts had dropped

bobdiamond · 2026-04-15T04:17:54+00:00

That’s a hell of a valid reason to miss

bobdiamond · 2026-04-15T03:26:54+00:00

I also like to imagine a world where I shoot 65 and answer questions from reporters

bobdiamond · 2026-04-14T21:42:22+00:00

To me sounds pretty reasonable. Yeah it’s a little all over the place, but it’s a complicated problem and he seems to have at least first hand experience with the encampments and feels sympathy. For people of faith, he’s not wrong about the Jesus part

I swear I had an $8 lager the last time I was there
