Knowing What To Fix — A Black or Latino Mayor in Oakland would do it Better

“It would make a big difference if the new mayor of Oakland is either African American or Latino because they might understand where our people are coming from, how our situation is.

I live in Oakland on 35th and Foothill aka “Tha Dirty Thirties.” My neighborhood is like a mini Mexico because a lot of Latinos live there and all the Mexican stores are out there too. There’s only a few Asians on my block, only four houses are owned by blacks — the rest is Latino. “
