Bizarre, but even back in the 70's Oakland was the butt of jokes, in what a dangerous place it was.

What’s the difference between squatters and stray dogs.

Was the house ‘abandoned’ or ‘full of squatters?’

I was stationed on the Coral Sea there and had to go through Oakland coming and going from the Navy base. Absolutely horrible area. Incredible to think it’s even worse today.

Twenty five years ago, I had a satellite office in Oakland, and I was an absolute expert at rarely going there. Yes, crime was my major concern.

Now?

As much as possible, I avoid the entire, once golden and now sick state.

I just read the Oakland Board of Supervisors has voted to change the name of the Metropolitan Oakland International Airport to the
San Francisco Bay/ Oakland Airport. This, despite a trademark lawsuit from neighboring San Francisco.

Looks like Oakland wishes to hide the name Oakland, behind a more famous city. Similar to what they decided some 15 years ago. There is a very long street in Oakland that used to be called 14th St. It is now called ‘International Blvd’.
This was done after several gang type shootings in the area.

This doesn’t sound like anything one should be overly concerned about. Just more celebratory practices among the crazy quilt of diversity.

I guess I don’t have to ask Yogi who it was, do I?

This is what is known as a twofer. We got two very undesirable derelicts off the street in one incident.

Dogs and squatters should have been treated equally- should all have been turned over to Animal Control.
