Re: “The Warriors' Empty Gesture”
What needs to be done is get the Warriors players to step up and support the city of Oakland and all the Bay Area fans. What would the team owners do ... fire them???
Re: “Town Business: Increasing Financial Aid for Renters Displaced Due to Code Enforcement”
Kaplan, RU NUTS!!! $8,000!!! That will cause more rentals to be sold, removed from the housing markets!!! The city council needs to get real. I found two vacant lots for sale, both about $5,000 sqft. on not so great steets. One selling for $448,888.00 & the other $1,100,000.00!!! That is the reality in Oakland & the Bay Area!!! If you are looking for affordable lots or housing look to other states!!! Oh, those lots at one time would have sold for around $20,000 tops!!!

Re: “The Warriors' Empty Gesture”
Don't just post here ... do it on Facebook, Twitter other social networks. Oakland has been a minority community for a very long time. If these owners don't pay up call them out. Are they today's RICH White SLAVE owners practicing modern day exploration of Black people bouncing a ball??? \While their minority brothers & sisters pay the debt of these SLAVE OWNERS!!! Lets see who really contrails the POWER in basket ball and these deals where the wealthy think they can re neg on thier promises. Sounds like they could be Trump supporters. That is what he does ... SUE in court to get of of deals!!!
