Default FBI reports a drop in Oakland's crime rate.

This will probably get minimal press locally.

Anyway,
Homicides are up from last year, but everything is down, including burglaries and auto thefts, both down 10% over the previous year.

Well that's good.

Too bad your average person won't know about it though, because all that's in the news are articles about restaurant robberies and "OAKLAND HITS 100 MURDERS!!!!" etc, etc...

They will continue to glorify Oakland as a murder capital. Run From Oakland into San Francisco. San Francisco is Utopia. Oakland Bad

The statistics barely made the local news. In fact, just today there was an article in the Chronicle comparing Oakland to Iraq. The SF based local media is sooooooo biased. BTW, SF has 88 homicides this year, but you would never know that.

Haha, it takes our crappy paper to get the word out. The Chronicle, meanwhile, is still a shill of SF tourism.

I hope it ups the influx of quality individuals to Oakland and pumps some life into the system.

One could read the Chronicle front-to-back everyday for ten years and still have no idea what San Francisco is like.
