Richmond is so Black that you don’t dare get off the freeway while driving through. Richmond accounts for most of the welfare cost in Contra Costa County.
Last year I rode a shuttle bus in Emeryville to the BART Station there (going to Oakland Airport). A rider (race not to be mentioned) got off the bus at a stop and made a drug deal with a man waiting at the curb then got back on with the new passengers before the bus went on. Couldn't wait to catch the plane back to Lubbock.
