Promulgated in 2004, the Oakland Nuisance and Unlawful Activity Ordinance permitted landlords to evict Oakland tenants for nuisance and unlawful conduct on or near their rental homes, such as drug offenses, sex-work, and gang-related activity.  Passed in the wake of the early-90s California crimewave and Oakland’s soaring homicide rate, Oakland implemented the law intending to reduce crime.  However, the recent, emerging prevalent opinion is that the law, and other similar laws, (shockingly) have no practical impact on crime and (not shockingly) disproportionately impacted black Oakland tenants.  Further, a recently enacted state law prohibits cities from enforcing policies that require or encourage landlords to evict residential tenants due to alleged unlawful conduct or arrest (The Oakland law empowered the City of Oakland to fine landlords who took no action to oust an Oakland tenant from their home for unlawful or nuisance conduct).   For these reasons, the Oakland City Council repealed the law in December 2024.

Does this mean that Oakland tenants may henceforth go dumb reenacting scenes from Scarface, Rent, Menace II Society, Lola (1961), Party Monster, Blow, Up, and, our personal favorite, Christiane F. all from the comfort of their rental homes?  No.  Rather, the Oakland City Council has simply repealed one aspect of their statutory scheme making official city policy to compel landlords to evict Oakland tenants engaging in nuisance and unlawful conduct.  The Oakland Rent Ordinance’s just cause for eviction ordinance still contains a provision enabling landlords to evict Oakland tenants for nuisance activity at the property, such as for hosting unlawful gambling dens or raves, or unlawful commercial cannabis grow operations.  Oakland Municipal Code § 8.22.360(A)(5).  And, another provision of that same law permits landlords to evict Oakland tenants that use their home or the parcel’s common areas for unlawful purposes, such as for drug sales, stabbings, sex-work, and gun violence. Oakland Municipal Code § 8.22.360(A)(6).

So, while the City of Oakland has no longer a policy requiring landlords to evict tenants for nuisance or unlawful conduct, Oakland tenants must still follow and read the law and be good, very good.  What is the alternative?  Zi Gattina.

(I purchased Daft Punk's Alive 1997 on vinyl in 1998 from a record shop in Berkeley on Shattuck. I was 9, everyone thought it was wild.). This is the hottest girl. Aren't You Tired? If you give consent, plz bring your bff from the EU - someone like this - that wants to emigrate to the US for ChunChun (I know his type). Imagine. Zi Gattina. My most favorite photo. Coz look like a euro synth pop singer here. Zi Gattina. Zi Gattina. Zi Gattina. Zi Gattina. Zi Gattina. Yes, I bought this album in 1997. This was my favorite track on it. Not Barbie Girl. Zi Gattina. Zi Gattina. Zi Gattina. Zi Gattina. Zi Gattina. Zi Gattina. I want to date you, get to know you, and then stab you repeatedly in the vagina....with my male sexual organ several times until we produce 3-5 children and then keep doing it. Then have a black wedding, live in a haunted house in Forestland, and then leave you with crippling anxiety and emotional distress by dying of natural causes before you at age 105.3 b/c you don't want to live without me (you'll be like 97.3 years old). Or stated in non-alternative terms, I enjoyed our rendezvous very much and would love to date you and hopefully spend the rest of our lives together in Forestland, with kids. You are by far the hottest girl I have ever seen. Alameda County officials, please screen capture all of this. this dance will last us forever. (but I'd prefer to do it IRL) MY NATURAL SPEAKING VOICE IS SORT OF LIKE THIS. This is the hottest girl/woman in the history of humankind. No couple will ever produce any person hotter than her. No, it's not an asian thing. I dont have an asian fetish. I find all women hot, including black women (Rihanna), white women (Katy Perry), and Latinas (Selena Gomez). But, this is the hottest woman I have ever seen. She's not even from Asia. So, it's annoying to classify her like this. I have been a fan since JustCuteGirls. She was so cute then and I saved those photos. Then she got really hot and hotter, and I saved those photos, too. Then in berlin it got weird, but I still saved those photos. Now, back home it's getting too pornographic, but I saved those photos and videos. She is still so hot. The most beautiful woman ever. She should retire while she is still young, and get with a dude. Think about it, while there is more to a relationship than looks you should let the dude be with you while you're still young. How unfair would it be to show them all these pics of you but they never got to be with you at that age. As to the dude, I recommend me. I really can't be bothered to try for anyone else at this point. Also, I am keeping all of your photos. Yes, I guess it is sort of creepy but at least I am giving you notice. IDGAF who knows about it or any of this. In fact, I am glad that you are aware. I think more guys should just tell girls they find hot that they are hot. What do we all collectively have to lose? She might reject you? Other people might find out? Be a man. But, I think they should reserve it for the person they find most hot. In any event, I am keeping all of your photographs. I think you are the most hot. That other model from the hotel was also hot. I think you are hotter than her and all of the German models. As I laid on the other side of the bed listening to the two of you talk about Europe as you held each other, I knew that I liked you more than her. The only thing that could have made that night better was including an Australian woman and a South American woman. of course, you would be the hottest and the best, but that definitely would have made it better. This is the hottest, most beautifulest, prettiest, and stunning woman in the past present and future of human kind. Zi Gattina, I really really want it to be you. Why? In addition to being effervescent and extremely fkin' beautiful, I would love for you to "mature" and dress refined in public with a new mature role. But then privately bring back Zi Gattina for me... Think Gwen Stefani. She probably dresses like this for Gavin til this day. But we'll never see it. But she evolved into this. Also, this song is very New Order-y. My favorite song of hers. That would be very hot. For this reason alone, I hope to marry you. I hope you keep your tats, but hide them in public. I will do whatever look you want. Buff (which I don't really like but would do), waifshly thin like an art student (which I love), or something else. You pick. I'll do it. Zi Gattina, remember when Madonna went on Letterman to promote that sex book. I want to recreate every pose in that book with you and only you for the rest of my life. Gotta say I do. That reminds me, you look like her in this photo. Tupac, NOT Rodmon. You are the hottest girl I have ever seen. No other girl comes close. x∞. You are the hottest girl in the past, present, and future of woman. x∞. ZI GATTINA I WANT TO MARRY YOU. WHILE IT IS TOO EARLY TO ASK YOU TO MARRY ME, I WANT YOU TO KNOW THAT IS WHAT I WANT TO DO. I AM YELLING THIS AT YOU LOUDER THAN A BART TRAIN ROARING THROUGH THE TRANSBAY TUBE BETWEEN SF AND OAKLAND.... YES, WE BOTH KNOW HOW LOUD IT IS AS WE BOTH TOOK IT BETWEEN THE TWO CITIES FOR OUR ENTIER LIVES. MAYBE WE WERE ON THE SAME TRAIN ONCE... ZI GATTINNAAAAAAoioagihdgoaghoadgihoasdhiohgaio;agwhoiwaoigioagdohahoIO!*(#(YHFUOudgoajdgjhlagdlkgada. HOW DID I COPE WITH THE NOISE? YES, YOU GUESSED IT. I TURNED THIS UP ON FULL BLAST DURING EVERY TRIP... WHILE WE ARE ON TOPIC, WHATS YOUR FAVORITE RESTAURANT IN OAKLAND? ZACHARY'S? YOSHI'S? THE GOURMET GHETTO IN BERKELEY? HOW ABOUT IN SF? EMMY'S SPAGHETTI SHACK? LIMON? FLOUR + WATER? BARETTA? THE ALAMO DRAFT HOUSE/MISSION THEATER? THE FRONT PORCH? BOTTEGA? ALL ARE GREAT CHOICES AND THEN, FOR DESSERT, THERES BI RITE! I'VE NEVER BEEN TO FENTONS IN OAKLAND! WHO IS YOUR FAVORITE COMEDIAN? I LOVE RUSSELL BRAND. BASED ON WHAT I SAW THAT NIGHT IN THAT HOTEL, IM THINKING YOU LIKE NICKI GLASER, AND PROBABLY LENA DUNHAM. METO! WHAT ARE YOUR FAVORITE SHOWS? I LOVE 30 ROCK. BUT, I ALSO LOVE SIX FEET UNDER. LET ME GUESS, YOU PROBABLY DON"T REALLY WATCH TV. BUT IF YOU DID, YOU'D PROBABLY LIKE GIRLS. WATCHED THAT ENTIRE SHOW. YOU'RE JESSA. SHE WAS MY FAV. WHAT'S ENTOURAGE? OH WHAT GUY TV SHOW DO I LIKE? uhhh......Breaking Bad? yeah, breaking bad! loved that show! FAVORITE BOOK? The Picture of Dorian Gray by Oscar Wilde. Yours? If I'm guessing, the Scarlett Letter. Love that book as well. Or maybe Little Woman. NO, THIS IS NOT A JOKE. I WOULD ACTUALLY DATE YOU. IN GOOD FAITH. AND IF IT WENT WELL, ID MARRY YOU. AND IF IT WENT WELL, ID HAVE KIDS WITH YOU. IT STARTS WITH ONE THING, I FIND YOU HOT AS FUCK. IF YOU WANT TO KNOW MORE, YOU HAVE TO ACTUALLY DATE ME. also, why am I sharing all of this shit? So, that way if you do give consent we can skip the first 2-3 awkward dates where we decide if we like each other and if it is going to work out while eating food we may or may not like and are probably not going to remember and just skip to laying in bed watching this show with the Bay Area breeze keeping things cool.
