Easily the worst Mayor in the United States.

Living proof that the insane can get elected to public office.

The rest of the City Council ain’t too swift, either.

Quan isn’t exactly renowned for her honesty....

Oakland hasn’t had a decent mayor since John Reading left back in1977.
Beyond that, Oakland has been run by the likes of Detroit.

some signs the city might be emerging from the economic morass

In the end, the economic condition of a city is due to the combined activity of its citizens. Oakland has shown signs of "emerging" from its economic morass for decades, but it never does. And, as California continues to de-industrialize, I can't see how it ever will.

I'd hazard a guess that, with Quan as mayor, that it certainly won't.

Banish Oakland to the cesspool of cities run and owned by Leftists. It will never get better until it wakes up and changes it’s approach, but that will never happen so, sadly it will never get better.

Oakland’s “morass”? Well, she’ll get the Castro Street boys coming over now.

I’m not sure how many shots she had before giving this speech but she did seem gleeful considering her city is on fire and under assault.
