Oakland Mayor Sheng Thao is holding a community event Saturday at 9:30 a.m. at McClymonds High School where attendants will be asked to offer suggestions on how to combat crime, homelessness and other issues.
The event, dubbed "Town Talks," comes after the City of Oakland missed a deadline for state funds that could have been used to combat retail theft
citywide. Compared to this time last year, aggravated assaults are up 11%, robberies are up 25%, burglaries are up 44% and motor vehicle thefts are up 52%.
