In less than four years of owning my home, the white paint on my walls has turned a dull gray. My ceiling fan has a thick black oily film that covers it and is impossible to remove. My window sills and screens are regularly covered with black soot. West Oakland has an asthma rate that is greatly dispoportionate to other rates in the bay area. There are “industrial jobs” in West Oakland that include burning paint. And Nancy wants more of these sorts of jobs and hazards here? That’s just insane!! Smart growth is about recognizing that “industry” has changed, and revenue generating opportunities must include retail and market-rate housing. I’ve been listening to her rhetoric on preserving industrial lands for a long time, but what the heck for? I have not seen a healthy industry move into West Oakland in the almost fouryears I’ve lived here – this is just plain ridiculous!
