I totally agree with batkid. As a black person who has contributed directly
to the gentrification of west oakland I'd like to say that gentrification
is an issue that can not be reduced to race, social status, industry, etc.
I would encourage people to think critically about how their actions affect
the communities they live in, but not to get caught up in liberal guilt
land unless you plan on taking some kind of direct action.

It's not productive and I truly do not understand what the end goal is
here. We're not going to solve racism in the bay area
with the mailing list.
It's ok to displace the Chinese, but not blacks? WTF?
Incentives applicable at this location:
- The City of Oakland is offering business license and sales tax
abatement as incentives
- The State of California's manufacturing equipment sale and use tax
exemptions
- The State of California's California Competes income tax credit
- The State of California's New Employment Credit
- No African Americans would be displaced, only Chinese
