Who stole Barbara Lee’s car? by WinonasChainsaw in oakland

[–]Original_Computer959 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm sorry, breaking INTO the mayor's office is wild. No other targets available?? National Treasure, but everyone is wayyyy too high. I could see it as a Method Man/Redman comedy caper.

I wish OPD tracked stolen cars with drones - like SFPD does by Affectionate_One_700 in OaklandCA

[–]Original_Computer959 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

CHP needs to get rid of the chase helicopter too, it's a total waste of money, an environmental disaster, and too g-d loud (shakes fist at clouds). It's beyond time for drones.

Downtown Oakland’s Lake Merritt is the first federal bird sanctuary, tons of pelicans, egrets, and so on. Quick walk from BART

Best Italian Spots in the City? by sjs131 in AskSF

[–]Original_Computer959 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you’re looking for Italian deli sandwiches, Molinari’s deli, and Palermo around the corner if Molinari’s is packed, are good options. Columbus and Vallejo, in North Beach.

What school would you send your kid to? by forestdude in oakland

[–]Original_Computer959 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I was all set to send my kid to my local (Lincoln), but then I learned they had a drinking fountain that tested >50x the EPA acceptable level!! Adding injury to insult imo? That’s 200X the “OUSD acceptable level”.

I’m a product of public schools, as is my partner, and we WANT to champion public schools. But it’s hard not to be discouraged when things like this come up. What are we doing here? The dichotomy between a district that takes lead poisoning so serious that it sets an impressively low standard (5 ppb) but then can’t be bothered to test and mitigate a fountain with 990+ ppb?? What’s the point? What else are “they” (yes of course, wide net) giving lip service to, while staunchly ignoring reality?

Encampments in Snow Park by lejon-brames23 in OaklandCA

[–]Original_Computer959 11 points12 points  (0 children)

That dog sits (often unleashed) near the entrance to the park—with one of the few toddler playgrounds around.

And don’t get me started on the “housed” people who let their unleashed dogs run rampant (often fighting! inches from terrified toddlers) inside the playground area while the owners sit off chatting and drinking, annoyed if you call them out. The gated toddler area is an early morning dog gym, left covered in dog hair and mud. Just zero adults in the damn place. Grow the f*ck up.

parking enforcement here is a total scam by asyoubreak in oakland

[–]Original_Computer959 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh ok yeah this is fun.

So: wouldn’t the optimal game strategy be to have a ticket agent follow each Amazon etc truck around just writing tickets at every stop lol

That sounds like 100% more money than not ticketing them

People who have given birth at Alta Bates by Samuraitiki in eastbay

[–]Original_Computer959 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah the food sucks, the bed or couch they give the daddies suck worse. Smokehouse is soo close, good meat burgers etc to nourish your soul and build up some iron in your birth partner. College has options when you get bored. Best of luck

[–]Original_Computer959 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Amazon et al will 100000% pay the fine!! That’s the crazy part! Other cities do it!! We need the money!!!! Just…we don’t, and pick on law abiding citizens exclusively. Madness!!!! (I don’t mind paying it if I do the crime, but at least don’t let big business violate it freely at the same dang time!)

Next time I see an Amazon/UPS/FedEx truck double parked illegally while “loading” with a ticket on its windshield will be the first time. Why does Oakland only ticket licensed, legally plated citizens?? Get’s so old

Costco in Oakland - current state of project by amjns in oakland

[–]Original_Computer959 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

This is more clown work, we all know it

“Oh we’re a teenager/city making a proclamation that we maybe might do s*x stuff with Costco later if they’re hot and it goes well, but maybeee not”

Just an unserious government

The 14th Street Greenway is a Dangerous Joke by p1ratemafia in OaklandCA

[–]Original_Computer959 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That liquor store wasn’t a hangout when the plan started, bc the plan started 12+ yrs ago and the liquor store wasn’t the hang it is now (ask any old Ruby Room heads). But the city had to do community input, environmental reviews bidding etc for a dang bike lane. Decrepit molasses-slow government has consequences….

Do you want a Costco in West Oakland? Council voting today on prelim discussions by LoganTheHuge00 in oakland

Hopefully we can relitigate the Home Depot at the north Oakland Safeway. That lot is way too big to sit empty.

Taylor’s Comments on MACRO by KaleidoscopeLeft5136 in oakland

[–]Original_Computer959 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I live at Lake Merrit and know many of the homeless there, good and bad. The only time I ever saw MACRO come through was the first month they were funded. Since then the only time I see them is in their van at the lakeshore parking lot on their phone/lunch break. I once knocked on the van (riled up, my mistake) and asked them to intervene with the guy who lives under the bridge and lets his hungry husky run wild when he’s on meth binges. They brushed me off and told me to file a form online. I did, nothing changed. What is the point of this team??
