This is an enormous amount of work and incredibly valuable to the city and its residents. Thank you so much for taking the time, and for presenting the data so clearly.

What work it's just looks likw the ramblings of an anti-DEI obsessive.

This is a great analysis, and another example of Oakland‘s dysfunctional administration of resources and failure to manage based on results. It’s part of the systemic failing of our city government, whose officials are disengaged with the concept of seeking to better our city in tangible ways

This is great work Tim Gardner! I do not understand how Oaklandside has a full time staff and wrote this about MACRO after reading your article: https://oaklandside.org/2023/07/10/oakland-macro-policing-alternative-opd-calls/. And they keep emailing me to ask for more money.

Wow a thorough and data-driven overivew of MACRO. Well done and thank you for doing this. I am not surprised that the City set up no systems to measure success or think through its implementation to be most effective. We have a real problem with the Administration falling down on execution and money being wasted.

Tim… yes what an incredible piece of work you have provided to the citizens of Oakland as the face a tragic situation in your community. Is anyone listening ? Hopefully those who are listening can form a task force, perhaps chaired by you, to make the constructive changes that you have thoroughly outlined in detail…Twink
