Trouble Beside the Bay

Oakland, Calif.


'Many of Oakland’s officers don’t even live in the city, but rather
its suburbs, a fact that helps maintain a strong “us versus them”
worldview. (At a recent community meeting I proposed that the city
study a plan, developed by Detroit, that rents foreclosed homes to
police officers for as little as $1,000, to keep them in the city.)'

sounds like a sensible plan to me
