Remove all the industries from Oakland including those freeways. Problem solved.

sooo pollution is racist now? ok and using 90 year old maps to show housing racism, what a joke

Disproportionately affecting who?!?!?!. The city has surpassed last years Homicide rate in 9 months... what about bullet pollution in Oakland?! Wouldn’t it be more beneficial to focus on the real-time priorities and focus on what’s REALLY hurting citizens now; before discussing the possibility of reducing economic opportunity for the citizens of Oakland.

the good old deflection tactic. we're talking about pollution and you bring up an entirely different debate because you don't want to confront the one at hand.

Thanks for keeping us aware of what is going on in West Oakland, but has anyone looked into the dust from the cement plant near 24th and Peralta as well as the metal recycler near 26th and Peralta. The recycle also makes lots of noise pollution.

Didn't they have to shut down the Walgreens because of you people?
