r/Emeryville

I just asked my parents in Wisconsin if I could move back home.

The reason for this is so that I can have a place to stay at while I attempt to complete my Computer Science degree.

My mom said "We need to learn to live with the decisions that we make in life."

why are there so many beggars in emeryville now? 15-20 years ago it wasn't like this.

Our June 2026 Food & Drink recap brings mostly positive news for local foodies, including a Colombian food truck’s new brick-and-mortar home, a Jamaican Public Market stall, a celebrity-founded "lifestyle brand," and an empanada spot that recently changed hands.

Let me know if you want free furniture.

The first Planning Commission Study Session on Sutter’s proposed Emeryville Medical Center will be held tonight at the 6:30pm. Early concerns are centered on impacts to the Horton St Bike Blvd & estimates the project could generate roughly 20K daily trips.

I'm putting my money on the fat chick.

The people of Emeryville are arguably now more conservative than their neighbors in Oakland and Berkeley. This is to be expected when for years Emeryville built homes almost exclusively for tech bros and as a consequence morphed into the most expensive place to rent in the entire East Bay Area.

But for as conservative as we have become (see r/emeryville over the years for evidence), it still would be considered a bridge too far to assume the majority of Emeryville residents support Israel’s genocidal war in Gaza. There is no evidence Emeryville has slipped that far. And yet our political class ensconced in city hall clearly does support the genocide in Gaza. Four out of five Emeryville City Council members (Priforce dissenting) couldn’t even vote to support a ceasefire in Gaza after that same four voted to direct our city hall against the US war on Iran and the Russian war on Ukraine (Solomon wasn’t on the council for the Russian vote).

These council votes deliver a take away for the people of Emeryville: we have a large city council majority that has no political courage. And what can be said of politicians that lack political courage? They are self interested. We pay them to work in OUR interests but this is too much to ask of Courney Welch, David Mourra Sukhdeep Kaur and (the former mayor) John Bauters. The people of Emeryville are not desiring to send Israel more bombs to slaughter Palestinians but you wouldn’t know it by looking at who represents us.

The shame of political cowardice reflects on US the people of Emeryville.
