You don't even have to go to Montana. Some of my neighbors in Oakland have been beefing with a local restaurant/nightclub that keeps blocking off access to public waterfront and sends beefy rent-a-cops to intimidate people in the public space.
- gamblor956 9y agoPlease name the restaurant. I have some connections with Oakland City Council and they can take a look into this.
- electricslpnsld 9y agoEve's Waterfront. Neighbors have complained that they've gone as far as blocking off the San Francisco Bay Trail during bigger events at night. Edit: Interesting, I dug up some zoning documents from the restaurant, and the Bay Conservation and Development Commission specifically called out the actions they are doing now (blocking the trail, blocking public access decks) as violations on page 4.

- nielsbot 9y agoMan it would be a real shame if the Oakland Department of Public Health received a spate of complaints and found unsanitary conditions in the kitchen...
- alex_hitchins 9y agoWould it also not be likely illegal (?) and as unethical as their action?
- nielsbot 9y agoIt was not a serious suggestion. Sorry HN. I suppose you could get in trouble for misusing city resources? Assuming that didn't actually have any violations.
- alex_hitchins 9y agoThank you. While I believe their actions are disgraceful, it only adds fuel to their fire. My belief is we need to find a way to understand their concerns as best we can to show them their fears are un-grounded. Even if it was in jest which I fully appreciate, to the 'other side' it looks like what it was.
- nielsbot 9y agoTo clarify: Just for discussion purposes, not actually recommending this course of action.
- gamblor956 9y agoCall the cops the next time the restaurant tries to do this. The City manager has made them aware of the situation.
- f2n 9y agoSounds like a great opportunity for some IRL trollin. Get it on film + name and shame the venue.
