Well when you have to make at least 131k in SF in order to live comfortably going out really isn't a priority.

oakland is safe as long as you don't go outside or inside

I’m safe inside in my Oakland Hills home with my 9 MM near by and motion sensors around the perimeter that alerts me well before they arrive at a door or window. They will pick the wrong home and make the top of the news. Multiple neighbors are prepared also.

The light at the end of the tunnel is the headlamp of an oncoming train!

Understand: Largest employers have hired private security for their employees just to get to their cars safely. Lake Merritt is now a parking lot/market with NO police walking beats and elders being manhandled. Youth have grown up stepping over the SAME VAGRANTS FOR YEARS! Why expect them to be moral citizens? Connect the DOTS😮😢

You obviously don't live there. I go to Lake Merritt at least five times a week. Never an issue. Have met dozens of amazing people

Essentially, many establishments are closed, and surviving businesses are attracting customers from those establishments.

It’s not the pandemic

This is kind of sloppy reporting . clearly you filmed the main portion of the story some time ago. and then, you just kind of surreptitiously Insert chef German’s more current situation …at the very end. I hope he just moves, sooner than later, so he can find the healthy business environment He and his team deserves.

Losing all the teams really counts for a lot. Think of the places people don't go to to watch games or after going to games. Pre-pandemic everything was on the upswing. It's gotten livelier but the businesses are doing a lot of starting over.

Pre tech boom oakland downtown was basic. People need to stop making it more than it ever was. During the tech boom, Sf downtown was so crowded because people stayed in SF after work for a few hours because the traffic was so bad to get out of there. 2 hours just to get across the bridge to oakland. Normally that's a 10-15 minute ride.

When it costs $60-80 to park no one's coming downtown. End of story.

Chef Nelson was just crying last segment when his other restaurant got broken into..Quit lying about Oakland.

LIES.

The PEET's at Latham was great. The sinks in the store were located outside the bathroom. Hence if somebody was in the restroom too long. The gestimate of that infraction would be time in until washtand. Remember the Jeff Bridges air crash film, where he is lamenting the loss of potential of downtown. WAS GREAT.

Crime crime crime!

Dr Chappel obviously hasn't looked at the data over the last ten+ years. Low margin restaurants have a short life span due to a variety of reasons. Even with an over 30% commercial vacancy rate, rents continue to rise. This doesn't follow supply and demand. I can name over two dozen restaurants that have closed in Oakland over last 10 years. This isn't a new problem since Covid. Oakland is lit on the weekends. It's a great weekend destination. During thd week downtown Oakland is dead. San Francisco is dead night and day

Truly a propaganda piece. Especially for those of us born and raised in the Bay and see the decline regularly.

Make office spaces into housing.

Working from home is good for the climate. Less people downtown the less carbon footprint. That’s what we want. No business means no carbon emissions.

It's also harmful towards human progression in a sense giving the fact that loneliness is a world epidemic today and is killing us more and more. There is a fine balance between the two as climate should be the number one priority without sacrificing our emotional and physical connections to one another. Also, its not going out that is the problem its how far we travel to go out, neighborhoods walking distance riding bikes, e bikes, e boards, e trolleys , e rail cars, should all be integrated more into our city's of the future. We live in poorly designed city's for carbon sustainability.

Make all the city workers,county workers,state workers,federal workers work in the office since were paying tax paying dollars that would help in downtown recovery and go back to the old laws for shop lifters and let security restrain the crooks and more undercover officers and persecute the car burgerlars ,more police dispatchers.

Them ppl took in n out down

So they didn’t interview an Oaklander? lol 😂 they interviewed someone who looks like she wouldn’t know a damn thing about what’s happening in Oakland..

I can't stand the gentrification and commercialization of "the town". For 25+ years you only heard it from a certain type of person (typically Oakland natives not from the hills). Now newscasters and non natives using it sounds so cringe I want it to stop 😂

Uptick during night time from crimes and sideshows for sure

Two things cities can do is actually arrest people for committing crimes and dealing with the homeless issue and not just throw money at the nonprofit industrial complex.

Activity is up on the weekends because people can come to Oakland and do their dirt without any interference from the police. I've seen lots of sketchy folks around the new bars/clubs/restaurants.
