It’s gotten to the point where you can re-post this for literally no reason whatsoever and still get thousands of likes

Oakland has recently become a national laughingstock due to our failed policies, brazen crime and alleged corruption.

We, the voters, can change this.

Today we launch Empower Oakland 2.0: a GrowSF-style voter education organization in Oakland.

Over the past few months, I've spent my nights and weekends meeting with city officials, former/future mayors, current staffers in city hall, and community leaders. My goal has been to understand wtf is going on and to find a path forward.

Along the way, I met Loren Taylor, a 3rd generation Oakland resident who started Empower Oakland and already had great success in their last election.

This election is critical. There are 5 city council positions (out of 8) on the ballot. Two recalls. The city attorney and county supervisor positions. The entire city government could change in November (usually it takes 4-6 years!).

We believe this opportunity is going to help set the foundation for the next decade. So we're going to help commonsense, effective and experienced candidates win their races.

The main way we will do this is through voter education. Voters do not respond to last-minute political advertising that has no context or brand behind it. Instead, we are going to build a brand voters can trust and then share useful information with them each week through our newsletter.

We're going to spend time in the community, talk with the police, and then report back on what we learn. We'll do deep dives on city hall so you can know what's going on and where we stand.

Then, closer to the election, we'll ask candidates to answer questionnaires to share their positions on critical issues. That will be compiled into a voter guide where we will share which candidates we believe can be most effective.

Ways to get involved:
1. Subscribe to our newsletter and share it widely!
2. Donate $500, $1,000, $5,000. We will be run by volunteers, so your money will go directly to campaigning for commonsense politicians through our voter guide.
3. Volunteer. DM me if you're interested, especially if you have digital marketing or web design/development experience.

That’s actually a real person doing that.

Ray Castoldi has been the stadium organist at Madison Square Garden since 1989, best known for playing during all the Knicks and Rangers games. He has played more shows at MSG than Billy Joel.

When will @DanKalb step up and lead the way? Oakland needs its streets back!

[bryan culbertson @bryanculbertson]

@Oakland Removing green space and community space that was saving our downtown businesses was a terrible decision by Oakland.

@MayorShengThao @OakDOT Please re-approve the Washington Street pedestrianization and fast-track pedestrianization of other streets downtown

[Timoteo @EMEBca]

East Bay deserves this @BuffyWicks @SophieHahnBerk @DanKalb who will lead us into the future?

[Jonathan Berk @berkie1]

The retail vacancy rate on Montreal’s Mont-Royal Avenue dropped from 14.5% before pedestrianization (2018) to 5.6% after pedestrianization (2023).

@iononrecourse @moseskagan @REconveneLA Eric, will you be there this year?

[Timoteo @EMEBca]

@TheRealEstateG6 Deal. Well done!

How do we get this in Oakland? @BuffyWicks @DanKalb

[Coby @Cobylefko]

Removing on street parking in Toronto in favor of dining parklets led to a nearly 50x increase in revenue as compared to parking fees.

The math is common sense - we should build cities for people, not cars!

@garrytan Can GrowSF start an Oakland chapter 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

[Timoteo @EMEBca]

@LA_CRE_Attorney @CREdeallawyer To avoid Monday closings, always include PSA language re: calculation of dates which states that if the timing results in a non-business day (ie, 30 days after waiving contingencies is a Saturday), then the date is the next business day which immediately follows a business day.

[Timoteo @EMEBca]

.@DDrolapas you working on one of these for SF?

[Bob Knakal | NYC Investment Sales @BobKnakal]

Earlier, my good buddy, @realEstateTrent, posted a photo of a vacant lot in Manhattan wanting to know who owned it and what the plans for the site were.

A couple of months ago, we posted a photo of “The Map” which was generated via a 220-hour drive and walking tour of every block of Manhattan south of 96th Street on the eastside and south of 110th Street on the westside where we identified all active development sites as well as potential development sites. Those are highlighted in different colors on the big map which is 27’ long and 12’ wide.

The Map now resides in a Development Site Showroom at an undisclosed location in Manhattan along with information on every development site in Manhattan along with all of the comp sale information on all development sites sold in prime Manhattan since 1984. That “Knakal Land Index” will be published within the next couple of weeks and will feature the most comprehensive land study ever done in NYC and will disaggregate the data into five buckets: Residential Rental, Residential Condo, Hotel, Office and a Miscellaneous bucket which will feature land sold to healthcare, education and other groups that don’t fall into the first four buckets.

There is nothing better than getting real estate under your fingernails!

@kavehcyrus Have you been involved at all with @GrowSF ? Think there is an interesting nexus between their vision of the City and CRE owners/operators based in SF.

[Timoteo @EMEBca]

@BigAndSmallREPE The Gambler by William Rempel about Kirk Kerkorian does a good job telling some of that story. Probably a better one about Vegas in general, but Kerkorian’s life is epic

@BreakingCRE @Levijameshere RE Game is a good one. I’d throw in Skyscraper Dreams for sure (great analysis of how NYC was built and how RE evolves generationally) and Zeckendorf’s Autobiography

[Timoteo @EMEBca]

@enosarris Lead the charge! Industry pros need to deliver us from evil (the Win), it is a truly random and arbitrary 10% of roto

[Timoteo @EMEBca]

A big first step would be not only keeping the Slow Streets but vastly expanding it, especially downtown @LibbySchaaf
