As violence returns to '90s level, so does response from Black leadership, Oakland NAACP asks city to get tougher on crime/* Mayor & DA recalled

[ISO]

One thing Ill counter with is, even IF someone can get a municipal job in the bay area that pays something lie 80k starting salary, they run into another problem which is affordable housing.

The Bay is a nightmare as far as finding something livable, under 2.5k a month that puts you close to Oakland. The West Coast has and WILL NEVER catch up to the East Coast in terms of affordable solutions for Working Class people in terms of housing projects and public transport. The mountains, ocean, exponential population increases, earthquakes, NIMBY-ism, and overall racism have historically been huge hurdles in making the West Coast more comfortable for poor people (I live in Seattle and the same reasons apply and more, the wealth gap may be even worse here).

Youre from NYC right? the Tri-State area has more negotiable geography and most importantly around 200+ years of dealing with vast numbers of immigrants pouring in and being in closer proximity to the cradle of the Nation meant resources could easily be divvied out. All that matters to this day in terms of how people respond to poverty.

Cost of living is a major issue in all major U.S. cities nowadays and people have to sacrifice to survive whether it’s getting a SO/spouse also bringing in an income and living together or having roommates and budgeting.

Those jobs simply need to be filled it’s explains a lot of the dysfunction in the city and the alternative lifestyle isn’t any better.

That's part of the issue. People are fed up with working net negative shyt jobs to not have shyt. You work hard as a dog, then have to have 2 roommates, and broads are looking at you like trash because you aren't "good enough". So nikkas would rather be bums or rob and steal. Someone earlier brought up stealing from the Gucci store isn't "surviving". The hell it isn't. You can resell that overpriced nonsense, then drape yourself in it to get some p*ssy these 9-5, multiple job new slaves don't see. This is what happens when people can't live decently legit.

You live in Oakland?

Everyone non black in Oakland is getting attacked by blacks? Violent Crime in Oakland isn’t intra-racial?

Man that’s bullshyt thinking

Ain’t nothing wrong with having roommates either

 

[Biscayne]

can’t wait for the future documentary about the “gang wars” of Oakland and terror that black residents deal with daily, there. Oh wait those exists.

Why are you bringing up black victims, when NAACP specifically told non-black ppl “it’s not racist to speak up against crime”. Why would they need to tell non black people it’s not racist to speak up against crime? What is the implication here? You may be concerned with black on black crime in Oakland, but clearly the NAACP is implying something totally different.

That’s very sweet that you think this way. Really. But what you think, doesn’t reflect how society views men who aren’t financially stable. Capitalism gonna capitalism.

Having roommates doesn’t mean you aren’t financially stable.

That’s how you save $ plus a quick search shows there are a decent amount of apartments under $2000 in Oakland which can be afforded on an $80,000 salary.

The alternative is hurting others and your community robbing and stealing or living under govt assistance and still likely living shacked up.

Y’all talking about bytches giving nikkas play that’s part of the problem no talk of settling down which was integral in past generations.

How do you settle down if they won't even let you talk to them because you're "broke"? Unless you're handsome gang or a great talker (preferably both), how are you getting a quality woman someone would actually want to settle down with struggling super hard?

Crime is nowhere near 90s level

 

[MyApps]

Now is the time for young black men to take over 2 industries.

The police force, AND the military. Both industries need more people. Both can provide upgrade in pay. Both can start working in as little as 6 months.

Get trained, get skills, and get a direct foothold in sectors that will ALWAYS have work

Breh you stereotyping hardbody rn lol this is not the reality of dating in 2023

A quality woman doesn’t care about you having a roommate especially if you have your shyt together with a career and whatnot and present yourself as a good partner to them most young women themselves are in this same economy and have roommates themselves people dating off fukking apps now.

I'm talking about women with standards. Wife material. Ones with options willing to struggle with nikkas are few and far between.
