Its unfortunate that Emeryville attracts so many miscreant visitors. We loved our eight years at Watergate and miss the accessibility, but the prevalence of violent opportunism and a few disturbing encounters with criminal thuggery shunted us to the suburbs when we started our family.
How “mindful” do we need to be before crime in Emeryville starts going down?
Seems like our new Police chief needs to spend more focused on her day job.
When crime is rising in your city, you need to get off the speaking circuit and get back on the beat. The community is funding your absence in auto glass.
