@RallyLamb I remember responding to a fan survey from the A's about what amenities I wanted to see in a new stadium. I was like I just want to watch the game, man.

@MenInBlazers I feel like they’re filming from a satellite.

@_Zeets Just happy we don’t have to see 30 more minutes of this game.

Just found out that there is a West Oakland Pacific Railroad that operates two locomotives on 10 miles of track out by the Oakland Army Base.

@icecityalmanac I'm really enjoying the photos you are posting! Are these digital or analog (film)?

[Dimond Notes @dimond_notes]

@IDoTheThinking I don’t see why this is so hard. As seen in Alameda:

@Noahpinion Admittedly it's a low bar, but Oakland is doing OK by California standards.

I'm no expert but it seems like hiring needs to be the number one priority for the city across multiple agencies. You can't do the work without the people.

Textbook Oakland city government dysfunction:
Understaffing? CHECK
Failure to plan for maintenance? CHECK
City council micromanagement? CHECK
Failure to coordinate between agencies/partners? CHECK

[Dimond Notes @dimond_notes]

@NWSBayArea Thanks! I don’t feel I live in an abnormally windy zone, but it’s interesting that it can become a wind hot spot if the conditions are just right.
