This is the most important story I write for The Oaklandside, sadly, every year: Those who die from traffic violence. In 2023, 33 died while driving, biking, and walking. All had interesting, complicated, full lives and histories people should know about: oaklandside.org/2024/02/08/33-…

A tech exec and Oakland resident, who supported Tesla's goals and was excited about the Cybertruck, told me he became disillusioned and then angry with the company when a CT door scarily unlatched next to his baby as he was about to get on the freeway: oaklandside.org/2026/01/23/tes…

@fruitvalelocal Oof that sucks. I definitely got to see the last few days some recent paves that are not looking so great.

@fermoso My street has zero years. We already knew this. Last winter's patches are already crumbling. After this week's atmospheric river we'll have wading pools in the street.

I traveled all over Oakland to find its worst streets. The city paved 18.6 miles in '25, so the searchable list of 3,304 road sections here, based on an independent survey of paving quality, is thorough. Find your road and paving score and post it here. oaklandside.org/2025/12/23/lis…

Oakland sold $285M in Measure U bonds over the last week for parks, housing, and road infrastructure after 2 years of concerns about its financial outlook, which led to a credit downgrade last year. With the sale, the city says its finances are looking up oaklandside.org/2025/12/09/oak…

California law requires police to disclose recordings of “critical incidents” in 45 days. Oakland police argue the “brief struggle” that led to former NFL star Doug Martin’s death was not a critical incident. oaklandside.org/2025/12/02/dou…

@fermoso @nat_orenstein 2 were taken today & two are older, my point is that the city never followed through on its promise that it would start proactively ticketing cars that park on sidewalks, despite the fact that there are plenty to choose from. I’ll start reporting them and looping you in.

Coach John Beam was so excited that Super Bowl 60 was being held in the Bay Area in February 2026. He was excited to have Laney College be a featured venue to host a Football Camp for kids from Oakland and the Bay Area. We were deep in the planning stage and now this tragic moment has us at a lost. RIP Coach Beam

My hero. This world just seems to get worse as time goes on. Sickening to hear what’s happened to Coach today. I know you can get through this, Coach Beam. I love you. 💚👏🏼👏🏼

@eastbaycitizen Since I didn't read your newsletter, I would have been happy to add your note to the story as the first person who published something alluding to it. You could have emailed me or called me. Instead, you chose to do whatever this is. I'll wait for an apology.

Oaklandside straight up stole my scoop without attributing East Bay Insiders. I work 14 hours a day, sit through dozens of meeting a week, and these extremely lazy cub reporters, paid with unearned non-profit money, are stealing revenue from me. oaklandside.org/2025/09/17/top…

@eastbaycitizen I knew about this before your newsletter, which I didn't read. Confirm with Zabrae Valentine (on this thread). Also, I've been a reporter for 15 yrs, including at Wired (starting podcasts for Conde Nast), the Business Journal, and The Guardian. Do a little more research next time

I spoke with the family of Castlemont teacher Marvin Boomer, including his girlfriend (who was with him at the tragic collision), his mom and dad, and his sisters. They're in shock, mourning the passing of a man they call "extraordinary." New story: oaklandside.org/2025/06/06/mar…
