IF YOU HAVE CHILDREN STAY THE HELL OUT OF THIS APARTMENT COMPLEX, OR FOR THAT MATTER OUT OF MOST OF THE APARTMENTS ON THE WEST SIDE OF ALAMEDA. ESPECIALLY ANY APARTMENT ON BUENA VISTA AVENUE. PREFERRABLY STAY OVER GRAND STREET AND BEYOND, BUT ALAMEDA IS REALLY LOSING THE FIGHT TO KEEP UNDESIREABLES OUT OF ITS APARTMENTS. BY UNDESIRABLES I DON'T MEAN BLACK, HISPANIC, VIETNAMESE ETC. BY UNDESIRABLES I MEAN JACKED UP PEOPLE WHO DON'T KNOW THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN RIGHT AND WRONG. THE BEEVEE'S ARE THE PROVING GROUNDS FOR MOST THUGS IN ALAMEDA, AND FOR THAT MATTER MOST WANNABEES FROM AROUND THE NEIGHBORHOOD TRY AND HANG OUT WITHIN THE COMPLEX WITH KNOWN GANGBANGERS COMPUNDING THE PROBLEM. THE PROPERTY IS TOO LUCRATIVE TO JUST DEMOLISH. I LIVED THERE FOR OVER 4 YEARS AND PASS BY IT EVERY OTHER WEEKEND. GUESS WHERE THE PEOPLE ARE I HUNG AROUND' DEAD OR STANDING IN FRONT OF SEVEN ELEVEN AND IF THEY ARE LUCKY IN JAIL. THE PLACE TOOK A SEVERE DOWNTURN, AS IF IT WASN'T BAD ENOUGH, WHEN THE NAVY PULLED OUT OF ALAMEDA. THIS IS OAKLAND, LA, CHICAGO, NEW YORK AND JAMAICA ROLLED INTO A NUTSHELL. ON THE OTHER HAND YOU WILL NOT FIND A CHEAPER PLACE FOR THE PRICE IN NORTHERN CALIFORNIA. WE HAD A FOUR BEDROOM APARTMENT I COULDN'T BELIEVE IT. DON'T BELIEVE ME GO TO ALAMEDA POLICE DEPARTMENT AND ASK THEM TO SEE A LIST FOR REGISTERED SEX OFFENDERS, AND TO ALSO SEE HOW THE REGISTERED FELON PER POPULATED ARE OF ALAMEDA STACKS UP. BE AFRAID, BE VERY AFRAID.

PLEASE PREPARE FOR YOU STAY IN THE BEEVEE'S BY READING THESE BOOKS.

HUSTLER: PROBABLY GOING TO SEE SOME PROSTITUTION, EVEN IF YOUR NEIGHBOOR ISN'T ONE. CONDOMS CAN BE FOUND IN PARKING LOT.

COLORS/NEW JACK CITY/JUICE: NEED TO WATCH FOR VIOLENCE. ALSO SHOWS TRANSFORMATION OF HOW YOUR KIDS ARE AND WHAT THEY WILL BECOME AFTER LIVING HERE. DRUG LINGO.

SCARFACE/GODFATHER: TO MAKE YOU THINK YOUR WHITE ASS HAS A CHANCE. THESE WILL MAKE YOU FEEL TOUGH, BUT STILL BE PREPARED TO GET THE CRAP BEAT OU OF YOU. IF SOMEONE PARKS IN YOUR PLACE LET IT GO, DON'T PUSH IT.

HOMETIME/HGTV/THIS OLD HOUSE/HOME DEPOT CARD: REPAIRS WILL BE DONE BY YOU. WATCH THESE SHOWS TO GE KNOWLEDGE.

RACISM: DONT DO IT. IF YOUR WHITE AND HATE ------- AMERICANS YOU WILL GET THE CRAP BEAT OUT OF YOURSELF AND POSSIBLY YOUR FAMILY. AND IF YOUR BLACK AND HATE WHITES YOU WILL GET HARRASED BY THE POLICE.

BIBLE: NOT GOING TO HELP YOU. UNLESS YOU CAN THROW IT AT THE PERSON BRAKING INTO YOUR HOUSE.

ON THAT NOTE THE ALAMEDA POLICE ARE VERY TOLERATIVE TO YOUTH, AND ONLY RARELY USE EXTREME MEASURES WHEN NEEDED. OVERALL RATE THE POLICE DEPARTMENT AS KNOWLEDGEABLE ABOUT WHAT IS GOING ON, BUT I DON'T THINK THEY HAVE ANYONE ON THE INSIDE ON THIS ONE.

THIS COMMUNITY JUST NEEDS A LOT OF LOVE.
