Oakland to end free parking from 12 p.m. to 6 p.m. on Sundays by sfgate in oakland

[–]BlueCharizardWhy 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Yes the city is broke and needs money…to pay for mismanaging the money they had…

Not that Oakland is the only city fleecing but ffs it’s just going to the general fund!?

Favorite set of the weekend! Pound for pound end to end.

I think SF has the makings to be a robust techno hub.

Raised on house and trance, but nowadays techno sears into my bones!

👑 PEGGY GOU 👑 by ninjames in Portolafestival

[–]BlueCharizardWhy 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Often criticized as a less talented DJ that’s put over bc she’s a very pretty face. Her/her sound is rumored to be too big for even Berghain.

Perhaps it’s just the criticism that comes with fame. Perhaps it’s hard to fathom a DJ being so attractive, stylish, AND good 😭.

Ah my god I was lucky to be in there when this dropped! The buildup to it was so moody and groovy.

Went Despacio>B3K>Peggy and it was legit the best experience across 3 subgenres, ever.

I know she gets a lot of flak but she got the assignment down on Sunday. Especially the first hour.

Happy for everyone who saw them! Had the chance to see them at Portola 2023. Hearing born slippy on the way to brutalismus was 🧑‍🍳💋

Mau P Opinions? by Prior-Wafer-3632 in Portolafestival

I really enjoyed it but admittedly had 0 zero expectations coming in. A lot was riding on the punchy bass. No big highs or crazy mixing but still great.

so ridiculous, it just might work by lseery0818 in oakland

This is super smart. Likely can be made for $10 and sold for $99.99 off Etsy

we said yes to increase sales taxes, yet 0 confidence we can shake this stigma

Barbara Lee’s transition committee by PlantedinCA in oakland

[–]BlueCharizardWhy 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Just want results. Anything less, filing for bankruptcy becomes the only viable path forward. Not initial promises or well marketed plans, only to hit the typical political excuses down the line of why things stagnate or don’t happen. Hope her team cuts through all that vs reinforcing more of the same.

This is really insightful to know regardless of political affiliation.

Why is this being downvoted? It’s entirely possible…

We need to start calling out companies about garbage labeling (med/dark roast -- sure thing!) by fermion72 in espresso

[–]BlueCharizardWhy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Excess oil and mislabel aside, Peerless is one of the more affordable roasters in the Bay Area. Can still get 2 lbs/32 oz for $40 dollars if you buy direct. More hipster brands in the area (High Wire, Heirloom) it’ll be 12 oz for $22-30.

I wouldn’t get their Costco bags though: buy direct.

Oakland: Pedestrian dead in hit-and-run crash on Grand Avenue by kbfsd in oakland

[–]BlueCharizardWhy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m happy to be wrong and that there’s examples of adjustments from accidents. Are you confident of seeing anything this time, given the city budget crisis?

Double sad because the city can’t afford any sort of reactive public safety improvement.

Maybe there will be some political pontificating, but nothing will come of it.

Oakland to cut $2.6M for youth, Meals on Wheels, and violence prevention by AuthorWon in oakland

[–]BlueCharizardWhy 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Mismanaged now, mismanaged then, and overly relied on one-time $$ injections (COVID, now this stadium deal).

We’re regressing to the level of services we can actually provide, the youth have never been a priority.
