		<description><![CDATA[It’s been five years since FutureOakland was launched into the wild (originally at Blogspot.com, then WordPress.com). V Smoothe and I started FutureOakland because we felt that our viewpoint was not being heard in the debate over the future of Oakland during the 2006 election.

		<description><![CDATA[Eager readers of the blogoaksphere certainly noticed many bloggers’ cause du jour – preventing the city from installing a surface parking lot in the middle of downtown’s up-and-coming Uptown neighborhood. The issue touched on a lot of the causes dear to bloggers’ hearts: pedestrian and transit-oriented planning, civic engagement, and enjoying nightlife. While advocates were [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Three years ago today, V Smoothe and I started this blog, FutureOakland (then on blogspot). We were disappointed by media coverage of the mayor’s race, and felt the minority of Oaklanders opposed to growth and revitalizing the city were completely dominating the public discussion of Oakland’s future. Under the reactionary handle of OaklandNative, I hoped [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[As Becks and I have written, we and other pedestrian advocates are opposed to the construction of a surface parking lot on Telegraph Avenue at 19th St, next to the Fox Theater.
