Firsthand experiencewith Oakland crime
Re: “Letter: Oakland street crime is up and Mayor Libby Schaaf is doing little” (Eastbaytimes.com, Jan. 2):
I recently read your letter on Oakland street crime and have to agree. Without the data, I have seen it firsthand.
It’s sad Oakland seems to favor rental property owners and renters before the very people who care the most about their neighborhoods, homeowners who choose to live here.
Recently, we’ve had a few car break-ins and my father was assaulted at gunpoint walking his dogs just around the corner from where he lives. I am interested in viewing the statistical data.
