Embarc objects to requirement despite promising, and not delivering, it in its 2020 permit application that was the subject of intense City Council debate; council also backs expanded buffer zone
Alert: Ad Hominid argument to follow. 20 years ago whilst deep East Oakland was still less Hispanic than Black, I was a children's librarian at 69th and International, King branch it was called. We were not as bad off as the next south library in the 70s, but once every ten days someone in our service area was homicided. Why? Weed territory. Selling weed on someone else's turf. People who tend to be in the more poverty classes will go bonkers over marijuana as it is so sellable. The great irony about this is there is a grow house not far from Embarc which the cops have known about for decades but the owner of the property used to have alot of clout. Yes, up the road from the high school but in another direction.
