"content": "\u003cp>News that the NFL's owners approved a plan to move the St. Louis Rams back to Los Angeles next season is causing excitement in California — and bitter dismay in St. Louis, where fans and officials alike say they feel betrayed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Late on Tuesday, \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/sections/thetwo-way/2016/01/12/462848857/nfl-votes-to-move-rams-to-los-angeles-with-option-for-chargers-to-join-them\">the NFL endorsed Rams owner Stan Kroenke's proposal\u003c/a> to build a $1.86 billion stadium in Inglewood, a suburb of Los Angeles. It also gave the San Diego Chargers an option to share the facility.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In response, St. Louis fans vented their sadness and anger, mixed with appreciation for the franchise that won a Super Bowl in 2000. One very conspicuous message came from Andy Cohen, a St. Louis native who hosts the talk show \"\u003ca href=\"http://www.bravotv.com/watch-what-happens-live/season-13/episode-8/videos/andy-chooses-stan-kroenke-as-jackhole\">Watch What Happens Live\u003c/a>\" on the Bravo network.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[contextly_sidebar id=\"V6dAbVoSgI3hKQWH7dSqP8wz31SXxP8n\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I can't forgive this,\" Cohen said, in a segment in which he noted that St. Louis had recently topped t\u003ca href=\"http://www.wsj.com/articles/ranking-americas-top-sports-cities-in-2015new-york-ok-philadelphia-terrible-1451696231\">he Wall Street Journal's\u003c/a> list of America's top sports cities.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Addressing Kroenke through the camera, Cohen said, \"As a proud St. Louisan, I want to give you something on behalf of my hometown.\" He proceeded to make a rude gesture with both hands, saying, \"That's for you, buddy.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When news of the move emerged during Tuesday night's St. Louis Blues NHL game, fans inside Scottrade Center took up a loud chant to air their disdain for Kroenke.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://twitter.com/kingbrian_/status/687139607687729152\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Rams' exit is particularly galling for some in St. Louis because officials had offered a deal to build a $1.1 billion riverfront stadium — only to learn last week that Kroenke had sharply criticized the city in his NFL application to move the franchise, calling St. Louis a \"struggling\" place where the population isn't projected to grow.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"No NFL club would be interested\" in the city's plan for a new stadium, \u003ca href=\"https://www.scribd.com/fullscreen/294704700?access_key=key-TDpB4kf7vHtfPavo22Dy&allow_share=true&escape=false&view_mode=scroll\">the application said\u003c/a>, adding later, \"The public contribution is only $355 million.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Those and other observations in the document set off a wave of negative reaction in St. Louis. Local podcast host Kelly Manno launched a plan to send $250 worth of animal excrement to Kroenke — a plan that has now apparently been carried out, after Manno said \u003ca href=\"http://kellymanno.blogspot.com/2016/01/who-wants-to-help-send-stan-kroenke-box.html\">her public financing goal\u003c/a> was surpassed in just six hours.

Local TV \u003ca href=\"http://fox2now.com/2016/01/13/silence-of-the-rams-nfl-approves-vote-to-move-to-los-angeles/\">2 Now reports\u003c/a> that \"fans, or former fans, are purposely driving past the park to throw out unwanted jerseys and team gear.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_10831757\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width: 640px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-large wp-image-10831757\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/01/StanK-1440x1652.jpg\" alt=\"St. Louis Rams owner Stan Kroenke.\" width=\"640\" height=\"734\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/01/StanK-1440x1652.jpg 1440w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/01/StanK-400x459.jpg 400w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/01/StanK-800x918.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/01/StanK-768x881.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/01/StanK.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/01/StanK-1180x1353.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/01/StanK-960x1101.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">St. Louis Rams owner Stan Kroenke. \u003ccite>(GLYN KIRK/AFP/Getty Images)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Saying that the NFL had ignored the truth about his city as well as fans \"who supported the team through far more downs than ups,\" St. Louis Mayor Francis Slay says, \"St. Louis is great place to live and build a business — with or without NFL football.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Collecting other reactions Wednesday, the \u003ca href=\"http://sports.live.stltoday.com/Article/1694945-Rams-fans-react-to-teams-departure\">St. Louis Post-Dispatch\u003c/a> included several tweets from fans who cited kids' disappointment. One photo showed a child opening a Christmas present containing a Rams jersey.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Breakups between a pro sports franchise and a host city are rarely amicable. For many in L.A., there were hard feelings when the Rams left after the 1994 season. And in that city today, the mood for many enduring Rams fans is one of jubilation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A posting about the move on \u003ca href=\"https://www.facebook.com/latimes\">the Los Angeles Times Facebook page\u003c/a> has drawn enthusiastic responses, with some fans welcoming the return of rivalries such as the 49ers-Rams. But one of the highest-ranked comments read, \"LOS ANGELES RAIDERS... nobody wants the rams only those yellow journalism workers at the LA times.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://www.laweekly.com/news/nfl-football-returns-to-la-6472979\">LA Weekly\u003c/a> celebrated the decision by exclaiming, \"NFL Football Returns To L.A.!\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti welcomed the move by saying, \"With the NFL returning home, Los Angeles cements itself as the epicenter of the sports world.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Fans in St. Louis will likely take scant solace in the fact that they're not the only losers in this deal. \u003ca href=\"http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap3000000621841/article/nfls-return-to-la-business-deal-smiles-on-rams-hurts-others\">NFL.com's Judy Battista writes\u003c/a> that Chargers owner Dean Spanos and Oakland Raiders owner Mark Davis, who presented a rival plan to share a stadium in L.A., were also spurned:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>\"They, alone on that stage, knew what St. Louis Rams fans were feeling Tuesday night, because they had just endured a day in which the people they thought would have their backs had instead rejected them — dramatically, stunningly, but soundly.\"\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>Battista also notes that when the NFL's team owners voted on the proposals, they did so by secret ballot. The final tally was 30-2 in favor of Kroenke's plan.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Current and former Rams players had a range of reactions to the deal. Kurt Warner, quarterback of the Super Bowl-winning team, told \"all the awesome St. Louis Rams fans\" that he'll never forget them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Former running back Eric Dickerson, who played for the Los Angeles Rams in the 1980s, \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/EricDickerson/status/687088316613693440\">tweeted\u003c/a>, \"Welcome home! #LARams2016.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Under the headline \"It's over,\" \u003ca href=\"http://news.stlpublicradio.org/post/its-over-kroenke-moving-rams-los-angeles\">St. Louis Public Radio\u003c/a> reports, \"The moving trucks lining up at Rams' Park will mark the second time since 1988 that an NFL squad departed from the Gateway City.

One photo showed a child opening a Christmas present containing a Rams jersey.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Breakups between a pro sports franchise and a host city are rarely amicable. For many in L.A., there were hard feelings when the Rams left after the 1994 season.

The final tally was 30-2 in favor of Kroenke's plan.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Current and former Rams players had a range of reactions to the deal. Kurt Warner, quarterback of the Super Bowl-winning team, told \"all the awesome St. Louis Rams fans\" that he'll never forget them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Former running back Eric Dickerson, who played for the Los Angeles Rams in the 1980s, \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/EricDickerson/status/687088316613693440\">tweeted\u003c/a>, \"Welcome home! #LARams2016.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Under the headline \"It's over,\" \u003ca href=\"http://news.stlpublicradio.org/post/its-over-kroenke-moving-rams-los-angeles\">St. Louis Public Radio\u003c/a> reports, \"The moving trucks lining up at Rams' Park will mark the second time since 1988 that an NFL squad departed from the Gateway City.

(Adam Grossberg/KQED)\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>This recent productivity is even more impressive when you consider the timing — it has come while the Warriors are suffering through a stretch of injuries, most notably to MVP Stephen Curry.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sure, the injuries have given Green more opportunities to fill up the stat sheet. But it has also meant a significant increase in the team’s reliance on Green in all phases of the game: scoring, defending and setting up his teammates.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And so far this season, he is a big reason the team is 33-2 -- the \u003ca href=\"http://www.basketball-reference.com/leagues/NBA_best_records.html\" target=\"_blank\">best record ever\u003c/a> for an NBA team after 35 games.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Not only has Green been dependable — he is the only Warrior to have started every game this season and one of only two players to have played in every game (Andre Iguodala is the other) — but he is also productive, currently ranking in the league's top 20 in assists, rebounds, blocks and plus/minus.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignright\">'He’s approaching stardom in his own idiosyncratic way.'\u003ccite>Ethan Sherwood Strauss,\u003cbr>\nESPN staff writer\u003c/cite>\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>He \u003ca href=\"http://www.nba.com/warriors/stats\" target=\"_blank\">currently leads the Warriors\u003c/a> in both rebounds and assists — a fact that perfectly exemplifies Green’s style of play: He does it all.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“When the team needs him, when we’re down and when we’ve got injuries up and down the line, he does whatever it takes,” Warriors interim head coach Luke Walton \u003ca href=\"http://www.sfgate.com/warriors/article/Warriors-Draymond-Green-making-history-with-6734353.php\" target=\"_blank\">said after an overtime victory\u003c/a> last Saturday over the Denver Nuggets. “We needed his rebounding, his playmaking and his scoring, and he did all three of them. You come to expect whatever’s needed.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In addition to playing all five positions and doing all the little things on the court, Green brings something just as important to this Warriors team: heart and soul.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And he does it with his own special brand of Draymond-ness.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://espn.go.com/blog/golden-state-warriors/post/_/id/1081/draymond-green-reigns-in-shoes-of-the-king\" target=\"_blank\">ESPN's Ethan Sherwood Strauss\u003c/a> writes:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>“Green has been great without needing to fit old standards. He’s approaching stardom in his own idiosyncratic way. It doesn’t come in the form of an isolation, step-back game winner. It comes in the form of stopping that game winner. It comes in the form of screening for the guy hitting that game winner.”\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>A few months ago, Hall of Famer (and Warriors' executive) Jerry West called Green \u003ca href=\"http://www.cbssports.com/nba/eye-on-basketball/25391679/jerry-west-calls-draymond-green-top-10-player-most-underrated-in-nba\" target=\"_blank\">one of the NBA's top 10 players\u003c/a> -- and the most underrated player in the league.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But not everyone agrees. Green has been criticized for being a “system player” — someone who excels because of those around him.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This week, ESPN's Strauss asked him about those criticisms:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://twitter.com/SherwoodStrauss/status/684231674696089600\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://twitter.com/SherwoodStrauss/status/684233179268435969\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In his answer, Green let shine another important characteristic, something Strauss calls his “unique iteration of stardom.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That trait was on display last June, when the newly crowned world champion Golden State Warriors \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2015/06/19/crowds-gather-for-warriors-victory-parade\" target=\"_blank\">paraded through the streets of Oakland\u003c/a> to celebrate with their fans.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[gallery type=\"rectangular\" link=\"file\" ids=\"10825369,10825370,10825371\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Draymond Green seemed to have more fun than anyone else in attendance. As other players rode on double-decker buses and waved to the masses, Green hopped off his bus and ran down the street high-fiving anyone he could reach. Most players wore their white championship T-Shirts. Green wore all black.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://abc7news.com/sports/video-golden-state-warriors-star-draymond-green-celebrates-on-stage-at-rally-in-oakland/795574/\">At the ceremony\u003c/a> following the parade, Green sprayed champagne and talked about partying all night. Then he grabbed the team's coach, Steve Kerr, pulling him out of his seat and throwing an arm around him. Green joked that \"from the start of training camp, he hated me, and that's no lie. He probably still hates me, and that's no lie. But we're going to keep winning these championships -- and that's no lie.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The point is: Draymond Green does things differently. And in doing so, he gives this team a personality.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For all of the amazing performances on the court by Curry and Klay Thompson -- the Warriors' Splash Brothers -- they both can be dull interviews. With his grin, goofy charm and relentless energy on the court, Green makes this team even easier to root for.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This offseason, the Warriors signed him to a five-year $85 million contract, making him the second-highest-paid player on the team, behind only Thompson. With that new contract came increased expectations, which so far, Green is living up to.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On Thursday, the league released the \u003ca href=\"http://www.nba.com/warriors/news/nba-all-star-voting-returns-curry-ranks-second-among-all-players\" target=\"_blank\">latest round of All-Star voting results\u003c/a>. Green is currently third in the Western Conference voting for frontcourt players, ahead of NBA stars like the L.A. Clippers' Blake Griffin, New Orleans Pelicans' Anthony Davis and San Antonio Spurs' Tim Duncan. If the voting closed today, Green would be starting in that game.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Such an accomplishment would be further recognition of Green’s star status and his contribution to the Warriors’ incredible season so far.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As good as Curry is, as good as the Warriors are, they would not be champions without Draymond Green.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>The Golden State Warriors are back in action on Friday night at 7 p.m. when they take on the Trailblazers in Portland. \u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\n",

Now, his eight career triple-doubles tie him for \u003ca href=\"http://espn.go.com/blog/statsinfo/post/_/id/113141/draymond-green-matches-2-nba-legends-in-1-night\" target=\"_blank\">fourth most in Warriors franchise history\u003c/a>, according to the Elias Sports Bureau. Who’s he tied with? Someone named Wilt Chamberlain.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Green is just the second player in team history to record three straight triple-doubles. The other is Tom Gola, who played with the Warriors from 1955 to 1962. For a scouting report on Gola, let’s turn to famed UCLA coach John Wooden, who called him the \"greatest all-round basketball player.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>High praise and stellar company for Draymond Green.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_10825365\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg class=\"wp-image-10825365 size-medium\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/01/green-with-trophy-800x533.jpg\" alt=\"Green and teammates celebrate at the championship parade in Oakland last June.

Then he grabbed the team's coach, Steve Kerr, pulling him out of his seat and throwing an arm around him. Green joked that \"from the start of training camp, he hated me, and that's no lie. He probably still hates me, and that's no lie. But we're going to keep winning these championships -- and that's no lie.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The point is: Draymond Green does things differently.

After a decline in the homicide rate in 2014, the numbers inched up again in 2015. Two homicides in particular stood out.\u003cbr>\n\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">First was the murder of artist\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/arts/2015/09/29/artist-shot-killed-while-working-on-west-oakland-community-mural/\"> Antonio Ramos\u003c/a>, who was killed in late September while painting a mural on an underpass beneath Interstate 580 in West Oakland. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">The painting was the idea of a nonprofit group and portrays the vision of an inclusive and renewed West Oakland.

He was a young man intent on giving back to his community and the tragic irony of his death -- painting a symbol of peace -- rippled throughout the city.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">At the end of the year, \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2015/12/24/oakland-city-council-presidents-grandson-killed-in-street-robbery\">Torian Hughes\u003c/a> -- considered a grandson by City Council president Lynette McElhaney -- was slain in what police say was a robbery homicide. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>4. \u003cstrong>Fatal Police Shootings\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">The hashtag that helped define a movement, #\u003ca href=\"https://stories.californiasunday.com/2015-03-01/black-lives-matter/\" target=\"_blank\">Black Lives Matter\u003c/a>, began, among other places, in Oakland.\u003cbr>\n\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Oakland's police department has been singled out by the Obama administration as a \u003ca href=\"http://www.politico.com/magazine/story/2015/03/oakland-police-reform-115552_Page4.html#.VoUPR8ArLjA\" target=\"_blank\">progressive department\u003c/a> implementing new tactics to work more effectively in the community. But after two years of no fatal officer-involved shootings by the OPD, 2015 saw five killings at the hands of police, including \u003ca href=\"http://www.sfgate.com/crime/article/Man-fleeing-Oakland-police-found-dead-after-6394929.php\" target=\"_blank\">at least one death \u003c/a>some saw as suspicious. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">The circumstances in each instance were distinct, but the message of Black Lives Matter and other activists was uniform: They criticized OPD as too ready to fire on black men. A group known as Mapping Police Violence ranked \u003ca href=\"http://mappingpoliceviolence.org/2015/\" target=\"_blank\">Oakland as the third-most-dangerous city\u003c/a> in the U.S. for being killed by police in 2015. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">The city says that each of these cases was justified and that it has strengthened internal review of all instances where officers use force against civilians.\u003cbr>\n\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>5. \u003cstrong>The Coal Wars\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Many Oaklanders were angry when they learned that developers of a new logistics facility being built on the site of a former army base want \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2015/07/30/a-dust-up-in-oakland-over-plan-to-ship-coal-through-new-terminal\" target=\"_blank\">to export coal through the city\u003c/a>. This got the attention of Mayor Libby Schaaf, who wrote “s\u003ca href=\"http://documents.scribd.com.s3.amazonaws.com/docs/3khxtyd4w4j07hq.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">top it immediately\u003c/a>” in a letter to investor Phil Tagami.\u003cbr>\n\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Oakland officials are now considering what legal options the city has to stop the movement of coal through the city, although it appears there may not be many. There is a clause in the agreement between the city and Tagami’s group that would allow the city to amend the agreement if the project would affect the health or safety of employees or neighbors. A hearing on the issue is scheduled for Feb. 16.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>6. \u003cstrong> Oakland's 'Soul'\u003cbr>\n\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A distinct feeling of what might be called gentrification anxiety lingered heavily in the air in 2015, like a fog rolling across the bay. There was a widespread sense of dread that seemed to say that nothing less than Oakland's soul was at stake.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Given this tension, it is perhaps not surprising that what started out as a noise complaint one night at Lake Merritt by a newer white resident against a group of mostly black drummers ended in an altercation and the police being called.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>News spread quickly on social media that there were new bans being enforced at the lake. There weren't, actually, but -- added to reports that some black churches had also been the subject of complaints over late-night choir practices -- many were left feeling that the \u003ca href=\"https://soundcloud.com/kqed/who-owns-communal-space-in-oakland#t=0:00\" target=\"_blank\">city's culture, especially black culture, was under assault\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>7. \u003cstrong> Uber\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">When \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2015/09/23/uber-comes-to-oakland-in-a-big-way\" target=\"_blank\">Uber announced\u003c/a> in September that it would open a major office in Oakland’s Uptown neighborhood,\u003c/span>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> Schaaf called it a game-changer.

Since the purchase was made on the private market, the company wasn’t required to provide any specific community benefits beyond a \u003ca href=\"http://www.bizjournals.com/sanfrancisco/blog/real-estate/2015/10/uber-oakland-affordable-housing-fee-gentrification.html\" target=\"_blank\">$1 million affordable housing\u003c/a> fee. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Some are concerned that, as Oakland attracts more large powerful companies, the housing market will price out current residents, as has happened in San Francisco. \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/pop/2015/09/24/welcome-to-oakland-uber-a-few-tips-for-the-big-move/\" target=\"_blank\">Read some tips KQED has for Uber here\u003c/a>.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>8. \u003cstrong>The Warriors\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Of course the \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2015/06/16/game-6-warriors-look-to-clinch-nba-championship\" target=\"_blank\">Golden State Warriors winning\u003c/a> their first championship in 40 years made this year’s list.

The #SaveE12th campaign was a major win for those who have pushed the city to create more affordable housing. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">The city has been \u003ca href=\"http://www2.oaklandnet.com/oakca1/groups/cityattorney/documents/agenda/oak055937.pdf\">meeting privately\u003c/a> with five separate developer groups that want to purchase the 1-acre parcel. All of the groups have included affordable housing in their proposals. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>3. \u003cstrong>Homicides\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Oakland has long been on the list of \u003ca href=\"http://www.forbes.com/pictures/mlj45eldkd/no-3-oakland-calif/\">most dangerous cities\u003c/a> in America, for its disproportionately high rate of homicides. After a decline in the homicide rate in 2014, the numbers inched up again in 2015. Two homicides in particular stood out.\u003cbr>\n\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">First was the murder of artist\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/arts/2015/09/29/artist-shot-killed-while-working-on-west-oakland-community-mural/\"> Antonio Ramos\u003c/a>, who was killed in late September while painting a mural on an underpass beneath Interstate 580 in West Oakland. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">The painting was the idea of a nonprofit group and portrays the vision of an inclusive and renewed West Oakland. It is sprinkled with images of musical notes that seem to sing above the sound of the highway. \u003c/span>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Among renderings of brightly painted Victorian houses and the faces of children, white doves fly. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">In the middle of working on the mural, Ramos was shot and killed. He was a young man intent on giving back to his community and the tragic irony of his death -- painting a symbol of peace -- rippled throughout the city.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">At the end of the year, \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2015/12/24/oakland-city-council-presidents-grandson-killed-in-street-robbery\">Torian Hughes\u003c/a> -- considered a grandson by City Council president Lynette McElhaney -- was slain in what police say was a robbery homicide. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>4. \u003cstrong>Fatal Police Shootings\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">The hashtag that helped define a movement, #\u003ca href=\"https://stories.californiasunday.com/2015-03-01/black-lives-matter/\" target=\"_blank\">Black Lives Matter\u003c/a>, began, among other places, in Oakland.\u003cbr>\n\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Oakland's police department has been singled out by the Obama administration as a \u003ca href=\"http://www.politico.com/magazine/story/2015/03/oakland-police-reform-115552_Page4.html#.VoUPR8ArLjA\" target=\"_blank\">progressive department\u003c/a> implementing new tactics to work more effectively in the community. But after two years of no fatal officer-involved shootings by the OPD, 2015 saw five killings at the hands of police, including \u003ca href=\"http://www.sfgate.com/crime/article/Man-fleeing-Oakland-police-found-dead-after-6394929.php\" target=\"_blank\">at least one death \u003c/a>some saw as suspicious. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">The circumstances in each instance were distinct, but the message of Black Lives Matter and other activists was uniform: They criticized OPD as too ready to fire on black men. A group known as Mapping Police Violence ranked \u003ca href=\"http://mappingpoliceviolence.org/2015/\" target=\"_blank\">Oakland as the third-most-dangerous city\u003c/a> in the U.S. for being killed by police in 2015. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">The city says that each of these cases was justified and that it has strengthened internal review of all instances where officers use force against civilians.\u003cbr>\n\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>5. \u003cstrong>The Coal Wars\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Many Oaklanders were angry when they learned that developers of a new logistics facility being built on the site of a former army base want \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2015/07/30/a-dust-up-in-oakland-over-plan-to-ship-coal-through-new-terminal\" target=\"_blank\">to export coal through the city\u003c/a>. This got the attention of Mayor Libby Schaaf, who wrote “s\u003ca href=\"http://documents.scribd.com.s3.amazonaws.com/docs/3khxtyd4w4j07hq.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">top it immediately\u003c/a>” in a letter to investor Phil Tagami.\u003cbr>\n\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Oakland officials are now considering what legal options the city has to stop the movement of coal through the city, although it appears there may not be many. There is a clause in the agreement between the city and Tagami’s group that would allow the city to amend the agreement if the project would affect the health or safety of employees or neighbors. A hearing on the issue is scheduled for Feb. 16.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>6. \u003cstrong> Oakland's 'Soul'\u003cbr>\n\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A distinct feeling of what might be called gentrification anxiety lingered heavily in the air in 2015, like a fog rolling across the bay. There was a widespread sense of dread that seemed to say that nothing less than Oakland's soul was at stake.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Given this tension, it is perhaps not surprising that what started out as a noise complaint one night at Lake Merritt by a newer white resident against a group of mostly black drummers ended in an altercation and the police being called.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>News spread quickly on social media that there were new bans being enforced at the lake. There weren't, actually, but -- added to reports that some black churches had also been the subject of complaints over late-night choir practices -- many were left feeling that the \u003ca href=\"https://soundcloud.com/kqed/who-owns-communal-space-in-oakland#t=0:00\" target=\"_blank\">city's culture, especially black culture, was under assault\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>7. \u003cstrong> Uber\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">When \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2015/09/23/uber-comes-to-oakland-in-a-big-way\" target=\"_blank\">Uber announced\u003c/a> in September that it would open a major office in Oakland’s Uptown neighborhood,\u003c/span>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> Schaaf called it a game-changer. The ride-service giant says it will create between 2,000 and 3,000 new jobs. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Uber could become a major player in defining the future of downtown Oakland when its office opens in 2017. Since the purchase was made on the private market, the company wasn’t required to provide any specific community benefits beyond a \u003ca href=\"http://www.bizjournals.com/sanfrancisco/blog/real-estate/2015/10/uber-oakland-affordable-housing-fee-gentrification.html\" target=\"_blank\">$1 million affordable housing\u003c/a> fee. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Some are concerned that, as Oakland attracts more large powerful companies, the housing market will price out current residents, as has happened in San Francisco. \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/pop/2015/09/24/welcome-to-oakland-uber-a-few-tips-for-the-big-move/\" target=\"_blank\">Read some tips KQED has for Uber here\u003c/a>.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>8. \u003cstrong>The Warriors\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Of course the \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2015/06/16/game-6-warriors-look-to-clinch-nba-championship\" target=\"_blank\">Golden State Warriors winning\u003c/a> their first championship in 40 years made this year’s list.
