One of the many harmful legacies of redlining is inequity in neighborhood tree coverage:

“Tree equity: Who gets trees in their neighborhood?

Why are some neighborhoods so much greener than others? ... It turns out that neighborhoods that were historically redlined in the ‘30s and ‘40s live today with only half the tree cover of their "greenlined" neighborhood counterparts.”

#Federal charges against key participants involved in #Oakland #Waste processing proposal at old #Army base not helping progress of project amidst detritus, disputes, bureaucratic bogus biz bs, and constant contractual crap

Essentially article reveals "#California Waste Solutions" is not necessarily providing solutions, but local govt is pretty good at waste?

While city and developer feud, both fail to follow thru and serve #WestOakland #Community, as residents, #ratepayers and #taxpayers suffer during decades delayed deferred dreams of improved #recycling facility that just seems to #recycle hopes and turn them into more cockroach attracting stink.

California Waste Solutions — key player in Oakland FBI case — loses land deal at former Army Base

City officials say California Waste Solutions blew deadlines to build a new facility at the former Oakland Army Base. Environmental advocates say this is bad for West Oakland residents.

The Oaklandside

Visited the #WestOakland #FarmersMarket & the #PrescottMarket food court today near #RaimondiPark where the semi-pro baseball team, the #Ballers play near 18th & Peralta.

The Framers Market, which is held on Sundays, is pretty small but I bought 2# of fresh #apricots (my favorite fruit next to LARGE #MandarinOranges).

The food court at the Prescott Market adjoining 18th St where the Farmer's Market is held is small too but I was able to find a vendor selling a decent IPA & another that offered a reasonably priced BLT & I was happy.

Walked over to check out the Ballers' park, which is a far cry from what was there before, but I was more interested in getting back home to see the end of the #SFGiants vs #Nationals game than watch a semi-pro ball game there.

Anyway, if you haven't checked out this part of Oakland recently, this is an interesting Sunday morning destination.

Some of the best damn BBQ you will find in Oakland. (And the sloppiest sandwich’s)

#MLB #MinorLeagues

Haven't been to an MLB game in #SF or #Oakland for years.

Just watch them on #TV when I can now but I have been going to minor league games in #Modesto, #Stockton & #Sacramento.

Now that the #Athletics have moved to #Sac, I'll have to consider whether to go up to see their games but I'd still rather go there just to watch the #AAA #RiverCats

May also take the time to go to #WestOakland to watch a #SemiPro #Ballers game this season. Just heard they've opened a food mall across the street which will give me another reason to go there to check it out.

I'm currently planning to drive down to Modesto to watch the #SingleA minor league game between the #ModestoNuts & #SanJoseGiants on Sunday at 1pm.

Go Giants!!!! 🥳🥳🥳
