Oakland Mayor Ron Dellums says a proposed HBO television series that would examine the world of prostitution in Oakland "goes against our vision of Oakland as the Model City and does a disservice to our residents and visitors alike."
In a statement released by his office, Dellums said, "While I understand that there are certain benefits to having a major film done in our city, I am not willing to support this project at this time."
Dellums said, "The people of Oakland have come too far to have our city's name trampled upon in the name of entertainment. I am willing to further discuss this project with HBO when time permits."

Perhaps. But does it "go against" the TRUTH?
So I assume this means that prostitution doesn't exist in Oakland?
One of Oakland's fine, young ladies.
Dellums is afraid that it will be revealed that he is the “top pimp”.
Quite the opposite. Oakland is a hub for prostitution, especially child prostitution.
reminds me of when I lived in Michigan and Michael Moore’s first movie came out. When asked to comment, the then-Mayor of Flint replied “Michael, why couldn’t you have made this movie about Youngstown?” Sort of opens a window on how urban political leaders think.
Chill out, Ron. Baltimore will always be HBO’s Sodom and Gomorrah.
Mr. Dellums ought to be happy to see demonstrated the fact that all whores are not government employees and all pimps are not politicians.
Reality TV is not allowed in Oakland!
Oakland as the Model City? Bwahhaaahaaa
“...goes against our vision of Oakland as the Model City and does a disservice to our residents and visitors alike.”
Mr. Dellums, YOU go against my vision of the Model Mayor and do a disservice to residents and visitors alike.
Why haven’t the feds busted him yet?
You are being too kind to Dellums and hiws sewer city. *S*
