That particular part of Oakland is not that bad ( close to Berkeley Hills and Oakland Hills). And sad to say the real sewer is jsut up the road known as The Iron Triangle in RIchmond. Cops don’t patrol there. They only go if responding to a murder scene or a SWAT call
Almost all of Oakland in near the hills.
I think I’ve been through the bad area. An eon ago I used to ride the bus from NAS Alameda through the Webster tube to catch another bus at 14th & Boadway downtown to the Transbay Terminal in SF (I had a girlfriend who worked at Sutter Station Tavern at Market & Sutter then). I accepted a ride once from some civilians who turned kind of weird, and I had them drop me off in an area that had me pretty spooked as I walked for about than an hour back towards the buildings downtown. I didn’t have any real problems, but a few of the locals couldn’t help but notice me and gave the most cordial greetings and wished me well. Not a good memory. A good one is being in Jack London Square when the A’s won The Series.
My sympathy to all their families. I guess this is Obama’s Hope and Change manifesting itself in Oakland!
Really? I used to hear cops foot chasing perps down railroad ave. on a nearly weekly basis.
