and here's one for The Omni to MacArthur two block radius (a bigger area

Simple Assault: 9
Aggravated Assault: 1

Burglary: 2
Vandalism: 2
Narcotics: 0
Seems the area may be more robbery-prone, or maybe it's just more "people
who have insurance and need a police report to file a claim"-prone. I'm not
sure how to get actual useful safety date.
Um, not that I wouldn't support a space here, but your impression that it
seems/feels safe there is wrong. That is exactly where my kid was thrown
to the ground in the middle of the street by three teenagers, with a gun
held to her stomach, and robbed. I won't even use that Bart station
anymore.
That's horrible.
I've compiled some basic stats about this new area vs. our existing
location. Not that these stats are necessarily a good estimate of safety,
but it's the best I could do with the data from oakland.crimespotting.org.
Reported crimes between January 1st 2013 and when they stopped reporting
64 days ago within a two-block radius of the path between this new
potential location and the BART stop.
Theft: 5
Simple Assault: 4
Aggravated Assault: 2
Vehicle theft: 1
Robbery: 1
Burglary: 1
Vandalism: 1
Narcotics: 0
The same, but for the path between sudo room's current location and the
19th st BART stop:
Theft: 6
Simple Assault: 12
Aggravated Assault: 0
Vehicle theft : 2
Robbery: 3
Burglary: 2
Vandalism: 1
Narcotics: 1
I make no guarantees as to the accuracy of this data.

Matt, Jenny and myself went and looked at another space that could
potentially be a new sudo space.
We've started gathering information about it here:
https://sudoroom.org/wiki/8th_and_Alice
My personal feeling about the space is:
This is an awesome space with lots of natural light. It addresses two of
the major concerns raised about The Omni in being two blocks from BART in a
neighborhood that seems/feels safer than the area around MacArthur BART,
and in being located in a less gentrified neighborhood. The one drawback in
comparing it to the current space and The Omni is the lack of a big
separate common area for events. It is _very_ similar to Noisebridge in
almost every way.
