Odd, because I keep reading of murders in SF over these same 6 weeks. Usually Oakland sees more then SF.

Why did murders drop in LA? Ask the residents of Palmdale and San Birdoo.

Why did murders drop in Oakland? Ask the residents of Tracy, Antioch, and Stockton.

Pretty basic collusion between politicians, RE developers, and shyster banks, to push out the poor.

I'm thinking there is some truth to that and I have noticed an outflow of low income families.

At one time I managed a lot of residential units and many were Section 8 with 99% in Oakland.

I only know of a single Section 8 family still residing in a building I managed.

Virtually none of the families were asked to leave or pushed out... when HUD introduced portability into the Housing Voucher program within 4 to 5 years the families ported out... this is what the OHA calls it.

Popular destinations include Hayward, Antioch and Vallejo with other areas like San Leandro and Tracy thrown into the mix.

I have no idea if or how this may be connected to the murder rate... only a comment on demographic change I have witnessed.

I've seen a number of neighborhood transitions... one still had a lot of longtime elderly caucasian families going back to the 1930's... 50 years in the same homes... homes were bought by African American families who sold to Asian families who sold to Hispanic families and then the RE bubble burst...

Now, the new families are very mixed and just about all that have bought more often than not have some tie to San Francisco...
