Violent crime in Oakland — including homicides, rapes, robberies, and aggravated assaults — fell 19% from 2023 to 2024, according to OPD’s end-of-year crime report.
My latest story for @Oaklandside: oaklandside.org/2025/01/14/o…
Fact: Crime down, economy up. Don’t fall for “alternative facts.”
According to OPD data, Oakland has reported 71 homicides year-to-date — a 32% decline compared with this time last year, when there were 105 homicides.
Experts I interviewed say Oakland appears likely to break its pandemic-era spike in homicides. oaklandside.org/2024/10/31/o…

Such great work by my colleagues, Emily Owens, John Hipp, Clarissa Iliff and Seth Williams! Thanks for all your on this study!
Main takeaway of LCL’s study on #affordablehousing’s impacts: affordable housing in your #OrangeCounty #neighborhood makes your #propertyvalue increase and #crime decrease.
