in the 80s to about 1995 Oakland had close to 150 murders a year but its only 450k people. less than half a million
then it dropped off into about 50 to 60 and last year it hit 146. its like when I was a kid and had to cross through East Oakland either on a bus or running to the BART station (got jumped twice in 1982)
I feel that old violent vibe and checked stats to find out it's creeping back up. Chicago had 700 murders a couple of years ago but it's also 3.5 Million fucking people. so statistically Oakland is more violent on a smaller scale. and just like Chicago it has good areas and wealthy areas (mostly the Hills)
what the fuck is happening that we have to relive this Bullshit.
