This video is super old.

Anyhow, the city has admitted they only have 35 cops patrolling the city at any given time. :francis:

All Bay Area cities are way understaffed. Compare to a city like Baltimore, Oaklands closest east coast counterpart. They have a police department of ~2900 cops. Not that they aren’t full of fukkery and corruption themselves.

The town is trash right now…it’s both a gentrified shell of itself, while being prohibitively expensive AND high crime and blight.
Damn.... I went out there in 2013 and it was looking like and the talk was it was in the midst of a gentrification boom..... shyt went south it seems..... always got time for The Town. :mjcry:

I had a little run in the late 2000's thru early 2010's where I was in the bay on a fairly regular basis and having some GOAT experiences out there :banderas: I have a cousin out there that was tapped in so when I touch road with him one minute we might be checking out some chill shyt in the city :ehh: the next we deep off in East Oakland on some fukkery :heh:

I know visiting is different than living but overall it felt like a place where I could naturally find a groove :lupe:

I haven't been out there since the early 2010's but it sounds way different and less enjoyable than when I was there. Kinda sad b/c living out there at some point has always been on my bucket list :mjcry:

Yea, the 00’s was still fun out here and the city still felt black. A lot changed in the 10’s

I knew it was different when I drove through and saw someone in suspenders and a bowler hat riding their 1920s-lookin ass big wheel bike to sunday brunch right off 880.
They was way too comfortable. I knew the city was gonna overcorrect itself and it'd get bad until they ran them folk back to Berkeley with that bullshyt.

:whoa:
Nah bruh… Detroit we aint got them problems like Oakland, most of our crime come from street shyt and young nikkas who lack conflict resolution skills.
:mjlol:That's actually realer and more dangerous. Oakland is just a bunch of desperate people doing petty crimes like steal food out of a dollar store. Detroit is real street shyt.

:mjlol:I'm not afraid of bum nikkas who jack cars because they know the cops won't arrest them for it.

:mjlol:Exactly. That's why it's more dangerous. Random nikkas don't even play out there. Random nikkas do any desperate thing they feel like in Oakland-- as long as it's a petty crime. Detroit nikkas will murk you for playing with the whip, and they not going to jail for defending their property like in Cali.

its 2:30 am in Oregon, where you are posting from.. do you got some kind of bot or app that notifies you whenever someone makes a thread about the bay ? This obsession with the bay youve had for a decade is crazy... someone one from the bay fukk your bytch or something ? I dont really get why you spam every bay thread

That's in Emeryville, not Oakland.


Dude is probably from Oakland, though. :francis:
West Oakland is right around the corner though. You can be at ikea in emeryville 1 second and then west oakland the next second if you not paying attention driving around :heh:

the bay is interesting like that.. one second you in the crest in vallejo and a few stop lights later you some how in another city, American Canyon :dwillhuh:

Fairfield and suisun like that
Pinole and Richmond like that

I wonder if other parts of the country are like that, where like pinole and richmond you can cross into either city from just a freeway overpass (richmond parkway)

the cities out here kind of bleed into each other. San Pablo Ave as example goes through multiple cities :dead:

Not from Oakland but I frequent Hayward (which is near Oakland). What you'll notice is that most of the crime is just car breakins. Not random homicides like the media tries to paint it as.
