Hard disagree. #Oakland (and #SanFrancisco) were moving forward from the impacts of the 80s crack epidemic after decades of healing, violence prevention and avenues of gainful employment for the formerly incarcerated. Post #pandemic, and the #fentanyl epidemic, all gains were eviscerated by what is best described as stunning mismanagement of precious city resources. To look at a long term lens to normalize current state of affairs is a slap in the face of recovering addicts, broken families and even the short list of genuine non profits that took on the difficult task of rehabilitation of entire communities and were finally seeing signs of success.
