West Oakland BART should be a transit hub for everything on the east bay. The whole neighborhood should have way more resources. It should be more walkable. There should be better road design, traffic calming, bike lanes. I can dream, I guess.

@skinnylatte whenever I hear "West Oakland" I think of this one guy's tilapia and greens growing operation that was getting written up a bunch about ten years ago. As best as I can tell it's still going.

You can tell that this one article on the guy is from 2014 because the article contains
1. A link to a video on Vimeo instead of YouTube
2. And a hopeful attitude about the future

I don't particularly miss Vimeo as a platform, but I do experience nostalgia for the era that it represents.

Out of a small section of warehouse space in West Oakland, Eric Maundu is growing a big dream. He wants to make it possible for almost anyone to grow food in an economical, energy efficient and water saving manner.
