Tonight the City Council violated its own prohibition on resolving international problems to serve what ends? Check it out in the Tattler:

Fountain, Lyons, Lykins, Morrison, Dakota, Benton, Niobrara, Pierre.
That's how you remember the sequence west to east. Taught to me by William Geiger, geology teacher at Boulder High School in 1974.
Have you noticed there are a lot of homeless people in Oakland and Berkeley but not Emeryville? Why is that? The City of Emeryville says they care about homeless people here but do they really?
In 2022, City Hall quietly spent $13,000 for these boulders to be placed on a little piece of City owned land because some homeless people were camping on the land. The boulders are still there and they serve as a reminder that the City of Emeryville routinely clears homeless people out of Emeryville despite all the official claims to the contrary. Check out this Tattler story from 2022 that highlights what the City doesn't want highlighted: https://emeryvilletattler.blogspot.com/2022/05/boulders-emeryville-hits-on-new-way-to.html
Take a look at these four photos. They're pictures of the building formerly at Adeline and San Pablo before and after the City approved a developer's plan to tear it down and replace it with.....well, take a look. For a City that wants everyone to know how much it loves our historic architectural legacy (it has taken pains to put up a bunch of signs all over town and paid for historic walking tours), Emeryville as it turns out likes tearing down more than it does the idea of historical preservation. All it takes to destroy our heritage is a developer with a desire to turn a profit. (see the story link below)
Here's the Tattler story that documents what happened at 3850 San Pablo Avenue: https://emeryvilletattler.blogspot.com/2015/05/emeryvilles-worthless-general-plan.html#comment-form
There's a lot of public policy discussion on r/emeryville but very few people want to stand by their claims, choosing instead to be anonymous, thereby taking away from the value that could be had. There's not much value in anonymity in public debate but when the postings by the anonymous people turn into trolling and ad hominem attacks, the value plummets to essentially zero. It is even more egregious when the anonymous trolls using this space (for public policy discussion/debate in Emeryville) are engaging in the ad hominem diatribes against members who do not conceal their identity. The person on a site like this that is willing to use their name and therefore stand by their claim is bringing value to the discussion/debate. The (troll) person who doesn't, doesn't.
We're building apartments at an unprecedented clip, more by far than our neighbors, and we were told that would bring down rents. It's actually having the opposite effect. Emeryville is now the most expensive place to live in the whole East Bay. The YIMBY enthralled Emeryville City Council needs to account for this: https://emeryvilletattler.blogspot.com/2026/04/emeryville-went-yimby-way-now-it-has.html
