Project Diary: The Oakland Quartet

Night, North Oakland

Four of the pieces I wrote for San Francisco Magazine about Oakland. Together, they present a picture of a fascinating, complicated, beautiful, wounded city.


A Unified Theory of a Very Tough Town (2014): Four walks that illuminate the city in all its complexity


Guns Down, Don't Shoot (2014): At a Ceasefire call-in, law enforcement, victims and perpetrators meet


No Escape, No Surrender (2012): To stem violence, former victims (and perpetrators) step up to take care of their own


It's Oakland's Turn (2007): What's always been great about Oakland has not been pushed aside by what's new


Driving through East Oakland
