I keep telling my wife this summer is going to be insane. It's been ramping up the past couple years, and when the weather is warm, shit gets crazy.

We live super close to a lot of the sideshows, right on the border, in Alameda. On warm nights I lay in bed while the drone of engine redlines and tire screeches lull me to sleep from across the estuary. :laughing

My shop, on the other hand, is in Oakland, a block from where they usually take place.

I've overall been getting a pretty nervous in general about Oakland.

lol this was done daily back in early to mid 2000's

the sideshow died down alot imo, but something just retriggered it this spring, like world star did some vid over xmas or something that retriggered this shit, i have no fooqn clue

but before sideshows we had bubb rubb and lil sis whistles go woooooooooooooot woooooooooooooot, if you ask oakland residents they much prefer sideshows over whistle tips lol

Charge tickets to watch the fun from the roof of your shop?

Set charges on all the bridges/tunnels into the island, set off when needed.

Someone on my neighborhood Nextdoor summed it nicely:

”Oakland had so much potential yet time and time again it screwed it up with a city council that makes Alameda look positive and that is saying a lot. How they let the tent encampments become so pervasive even after multiples fires and property destruction. Explain in what first world city does a sideshow start at 3pm and "gets out of hand at 8:45" with a city bus and big rig getting stuck and looted and burned down (LA Riots, anyone?) and then, finally at around 10pm the police start to clear the intersection? 7 hours after it started blocking intersections?”
