Been asked recently why I am salty with folks who want HT ballpark. And it's because for years I and other people have whittled ourselves to splinters trying to get city to prioritize homeless, but HT is fast-tracked because of how much more power people who like baseball wield.
Honestly, who looks at Oakland and says we need a new development behind a railroad tracks, instead of screaming oh my god, this city is quickly on its way to institutionalizing the shanty-town as its official affordable housing policy.
So, if that's you, I can understand why maybe you'd say, whoops, you're right, it doesn't make sense to devote all my energy to making this happen, when there are so many other things in Oakland that needed attention yesterday.
But if you don't, second, third, fourth time, I think it says something about the kind of person you are. I don't have infinite patience and don't like people who don't care about other human beings, or use transparent excuses to ignore the plight of people around them
