Yes, the letter was excellent. And no, oakland native didn't write it. Today's letters section includes a good anti-Dellums letter as well as another response to Brenda Payton's column. Have there been any positive responses?

I hope you read this again. Sorry we haven't responded to you. We weren't ignoring you on purpose, just been really busy. I'm hoping to post a blog about the whole exchange this weekend. Please check back!

I hope you’re still checking this stream. Did you see the editorial in the Tribune today (5/4)? About Brenda Payton’s latest piece of offal? Was that you? If not, then that means they got a lot of responses our direction. Papers use the letters section to represent the responses they get. That is, every letter published usually stands for many.

I’m curious what you mean by “got yelled down.” I’d like to hear more.

The champagne socialists in the hills and their shill Nancy Nadel has it out for us downtown residents. They really want to fuck us over to soothe their consciences. Did you know Nancy Nadel is hosting a “forum” tonight called Housing Verus Jobs? My friend sent her an email about it and got yelled down. She’s using city money to advocate her radical mayoral platform, and that’s wrong.

Nicely put; it’s either mind boggling shortsightedness on the part of the ‘progressive’ community, or it’s a willfull ‘f— you’ to people who, like me, were lucky enough to buy small condos (in my case a 400 sq. foot studio downtown) and bring money and life downtown.

Although it’s not Oakland, I know personally of a Berkeley hills resident who authors (in her fair city) many of these types of ‘funding drives’ for programs that would never affect her and for which the cost is a pittence of her ample net worth. I imagine Montclair has more than a few like her.
