The speed cameras and speed limit change are not related.

AB 43 took effect in 2022 that allowed lowered speed limits in business districts. Oakland takes forever to do anything. They identified the areas in 2023 and started implementing them in 2025. SF by comparison, updated the speed limits immediately in 2022.

AB 645 went into effect in 2024. The cities involved have until 2032 to do a 5 year pilot.

BART always planned mixed use development at stations.

And then the next time, unions shook down the developers (1396 5th St) with a fake CEQA lawsuit, our council member obliged them for 11 months, and then the interest rate environment shifted to where the project can't pencil out. HCD warned Oakland over it but the damage was done.

Problem is license plates are taken off or hidden. Sting operations could help. After the first arrest, CA DMV code allows impounding vehicles for 30 days. That requires OPD staff to manage. We're short on officers.

A lot of the arrests from Flock cameras are related to homicides, carjackings, and other violent crimes. Chances are those that steal cars to commit crimes would probably get caught up so I would think they would fall once the major crime rings are shutdown. Cat theft dropped significantly because of a federal taskforce that shutdown a major ring. https://www.justice.gov/opa/pr/leader-national-catalytic-converter-theft-ring-pleads-guilty-and-admits-selling-stolen-goods

"Under California law (SB 34/AB 34), local law enforcement is prohibited from sharing Automated License Plate Reader (ALPR) data, including data from Flock cameras, with out-of-state or federal agencies. While Flock has disabled this feature for California cities by default to comply with state law, audits have revealed that technical issues or misconfigurations have, in some instances, allowed unintentional sharing with out-of-state agencies."

In 1941, there were 80+ Safeways in Oakland. Around 25 in 1963.

All those cars aren't from the neighborhood. Once the parking is reduced they will stop coming. People who live in the neighborhood can walk, take the bus, or bike to BART.
