At first, I was confused why Oakland has an astronomically high population of sex offenders compared to anywhere else in California (per the Megan's Law website).

Then, I learned that it is the only place where it is illegal to run a background check for housing rentals. We are one of the few places welcoming them into our community with open arms.

Did you discover that the man renting the room down the hall from your teenage daughter is a sexually violent predator? Tough luck, you must continue to provide that room to him. Denying his housing needs is a violation of his rights.

The r/oakland brigaders will find some reason to say I'm being racist or classist for pointing this out.
