You can tell when Oakland’s feeling industrious: Outside the library, the horseshoe-shaped bike racks are \u003ca href=\"http://yarn-bombing.com/\" target=\"_blank\">yarn bombed\u003c/a>. Temescal is one of the busier branches, a clinker brick Carnegie library on the corner of 52nd Street and Telegraph Avenue. The tool lending library is tucked at the back of the building, a neat mishmash of repair manuals and wound-up tools hanging from pegboards.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s a small space for such a busy operation. Ty Yurgelevic, the library’s manager, thinks they can do better but stays positive. “Right now, we’re dealing with success.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The fact is, the tool lending library is long overdue for a bigger space. This month, Oakland City Council member Rebecca Kaplan and the Director of Library Services Gerry Garzon are working with the Friends of the Tool Lending Library to draft a budget request to expand and relocate the facility. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The tool lending library started in 2000 with a city Community Development Block Grant of $81,000. In its first month, the library checked out 51 tools in its first month. This October, it checked out 4,500. The library has seen a 32 percent increase in usage in the past year, with 175 new registrations each month on average.

You can tell when Oakland’s feeling industrious: Outside the library, the horseshoe-shaped bike racks are \u003ca href=\"http://yarn-bombing.com/\" target=\"_blank\">yarn bombed\u003c/a>. Temescal is one of the busier branches, a clinker brick Carnegie library on the corner of 52nd Street and Telegraph Avenue. The tool lending library is tucked at the back of the building, a neat mishmash of repair manuals and wound-up tools hanging from pegboards.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s a small space for such a busy operation. Ty Yurgelevic, the library’s manager, thinks they can do better but stays positive. “Right now, we’re dealing with success.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The fact is, the tool lending library is long overdue for a bigger space. This month, Oakland City Council member Rebecca Kaplan and the Director of Library Services Gerry Garzon are working with the Friends of the Tool Lending Library to draft a budget request to expand and relocate the facility. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The tool lending library started in 2000 with a city Community Development Block Grant of $81,000. In its first month, the library checked out 51 tools in its first month. This October, it checked out 4,500. The library has seen a 32 percent increase in usage in the past year, with 175 new registrations each month on average. Yet Yurgelevic is the only full-time employee, along with four part-time workers and many volunteers. While the library has better systems for tracking the tools and putting tools on hold, it’s running at capacity. Take weed-whackers, the most in-demand tool. Typically, there's a wait list of 50 people trying to get their hands on one of the library's 18 to 20 weed-whackers. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Two of the nation's largest collections of contiguous Super Zips are found in the South Bay (No. 3) and East Bay (No. 5). And if that's note enough to convince you we're darn special, check out \u003ca href=\"http://www.fastcoexist.com/3021592/the-10-smartest-cities-in-north-america?partner=rss&utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed:+fastcoexist/feed+%28Co.Exist%29\">Fast Company's list of the smartest U.S. cities\u003c/a>: San Francisco tied for second with Boston (Seattle is ranked No. 1).

Those with a rank of 95 or higher are \"Super Zips\" (the phrase was coined by \u003ca href=\"http://www.aei.org/scholar/charles-murray/\">Charles Murray\u003c/a>, an American Enterprise Institute scholar and author). Typical household income in one of the 650 Super Zips is $120,272, and 68 percent of adults hold college degrees.

The Super Zips are indicated in yellow.\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>The Post story that accompanies its Super Zip map notes that the clustering of the educated wealthy has been increasing, and is resulting in deeper stratification of socioeconomic classes:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>Although the wealthiest Americans have always lived in their own islands of privilege, sociologists and demographers say the degree to which today’s professional class resides in a world apart is a departure from earlier generations. People of widely different incomes and professions commonly lived close enough that they mingled at stores, sports arenas and school. In an era in which women had fewer educational and professional opportunities, lawyers married secretaries and doctors married nurses. Now, lawyers and doctors marry each other.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A recent analysis of census data by sociologists Sean Reardon of Stanford and Kendra Bischoff of Cornell highlighted how middle-income neighborhoods have been fading away as more people live in areas that are either poor or affluent.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In 1970, 65 percent of families lived in middle-income neighborhoods; four decades later, 42 percent did.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Meanwhile, the share of families living in affluent neighborhoods doubled, from 7 percent to 15 percent, as did families living in poor neighborhoods, from 8 percent to 18 percent.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>The trend toward stratification is not a positive one, say sociologists, in part because it impedes the upward mobility that has always been a part of the American Dream. Again from the Post story:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>As the affluent become more isolated, the working class and the poor become confined “to communities where no one has a college education and no one has connections to the world,” said Stephen Klineberg, a Rice University sociologist. “The social capital that’s so necessary for upward mobility is more difficult to come by than it was in the old days when there was broad-based prosperity.”\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>And, the Post notes, the impact on children, particularly those from affluent families who grow up knowing only their privileged world, could be substantial and long-lasting:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>“We ought to worry about what this means for society when kids who are the most advantaged don’t grow up with much experience or understanding of how the other 95 percent live, particularly the bottom half,” said Reardon, who studies the consequences of income inequality. “Will they be less empathetic? Do they understand what it’s like to grow up poor?”\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>But let us move on to \u003ca href=\"http://www.fastcoexist.com/1680538/what-exactly-is-a-smart-city\">smartness\u003c/a>.

Those with a rank of 95 or higher are \"Super Zips\" (the phrase was coined by \u003ca href=\"http://www.aei.org/scholar/charles-murray/\">Charles Murray\u003c/a>, an American Enterprise Institute scholar and author). Typical household income in one of the 650 Super Zips is $120,272, and 68 percent of adults hold college degrees.

People of widely different incomes and professions commonly lived close enough that they mingled at stores, sports arenas and school. In an era in which women had fewer educational and professional opportunities, lawyers married secretaries and doctors married nurses. Now, lawyers and doctors marry each other.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A recent analysis of census data by sociologists Sean Reardon of Stanford and Kendra Bischoff of Cornell highlighted how middle-income neighborhoods have been fading away as more people live in areas that are either poor or affluent.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In 1970, 65 percent of families lived in middle-income neighborhoods; four decades later, 42 percent did.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Meanwhile, the share of families living in affluent neighborhoods doubled, from 7 percent to 15 percent, as did families living in poor neighborhoods, from 8 percent to 18 percent.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>The trend toward stratification is not a positive one, say sociologists, in part because it impedes the upward mobility that has always been a part of the American Dream. Again from the Post story:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>As the affluent become more isolated, the working class and the poor become confined “to communities where no one has a college education and no one has connections to the world,” said Stephen Klineberg, a Rice University sociologist. “The social capital that’s so necessary for upward mobility is more difficult to come by than it was in the old days when there was broad-based prosperity.”\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>And, the Post notes, the impact on children, particularly those from affluent families who grow up knowing only their privileged world, could be substantial and long-lasting:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>“We ought to worry about what this means for society when kids who are the most advantaged don’t grow up with much experience or understanding of how the other 95 percent live, particularly the bottom half,” said Reardon, who studies the consequences of income inequality. “Will they be less empathetic? Do they understand what it’s like to grow up poor?”\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>But let us move on to \u003ca href=\"http://www.fastcoexist.com/1680538/what-exactly-is-a-smart-city\">smartness\u003c/a>.

(Before, Cleveland Heights was an outlier combined with neighborhoods to the west of Lake Merritt in District 3.) These wishes were represented in three earlier maps the Council considered, which in turn represented common opinions, as described by the city \u003ca title=\"here\" href=\"https://maps.google.com/maps/ms?msid=216906368307969429944.0004e980a4a4fb4f4fe07&msa=0&ll=37.75874,-122.235298&spn=0.459799,1.056747\" target=\"_blank\">here\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But it also keeps the Adams Point neighborhood intact, in District 3, defeating proposals to split it up, after the Adams Point Neighborhood Association sent a letter to the Council asking that the neighborhood be kept together in its current district, McElhaney said.

Council member Larry Reid (District 7) was absent and did not vote.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>What happens now is that City staff will develop an ordinance citing this new map as the City’s official definition of its districts, and then two public hearings will be held on that ordinance, November 19 and December 10, concluding with a final vote by the Council, likely on December 10, according to Devan Reiff, the planner from the City’s Department of Planning and Building, who has overseen the redistricting process. More can be learned under the \u003ca title=\"Redistricting\" href=\"http://www2.oaklandnet.com/Government/o/PBN/OurOrganization/PlanningZoning/OAK041315\" target=\"_blank\">Redistricting\u003c/a> menu on the City’s website.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Redistricting is required by City Charter, as well as by federal and state law, if voting districts change so substantially in population size over a decade, as shown by the U.S. census, as to render them unequal. Over the last 10 years since Oakland’s last redistricting process in 2003, West Oakland, or District 3′s population, has soared by 12 percent, while the populations in District 2, generally east of Lake Merritt and part of downtown, and District 5, including the Fruitvale and surrounding areas, have shrunk considerably.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>No districts are supposed to deviate more than 5 percent from the median population count, which is 55,800 per district in Oakland. The City Council voted on June 4 that redistricting was warranted because of the population shifts and interest in creating more equity. Since then it has held a dozen meetings in district neighborhoods and at City Hall while a coalition of community groups, the \u003ca title=\"Oakland Votes Coalition\" href=\"http://www.oaklandvotes.org\" target=\"_blank\">Oakland Votes Coalition\u003c/a>, also held several meetings to encourage public participation. Oakland Votes members today drew an \u003ca title=\"illustration\" href=\"http://www.infoalamedacounty.org/index.php/research/maps/oaklandredistricts.html\" target=\"_blank\">illustration\u003c/a> of how the new redistricting map compares with the existing map created in 2003.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While some residents and community groups raised the idea of creating districts that were socio-economically homogenous to give more voting clout to often under-represented flatland neighborhoods and school districts, the maps the Council voted on do not include wholesale changes to the City’s past districts, just some adjustments. As before, Districts 4, 5, 6 and 7 — and particularly 6 and 7 — include both wealthy neighborhoods in the hills and low-income neighborhoods in the flatlands.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The June 4 vote stipulated that the 2013 redistricting should accomplish the following:\u003c/p>\n\u003col>\n\u003cli>Each Council District shall contain a nearly equal number of inhabitants.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Council District borders shall be drawn in a manner that complies with the U.S. Constitution and the Federal Voting Rights Act.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Council Districts shall respect communities of interest as much as possible.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Council Districts shall consist of contiguous territory in a reasonably compact form.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Council District borders shall follow visible natural and man-made geographical and\u003cbr>\ntopographical features as much as possible.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>The population and territory of each existing Council District shall be considered when drawing each corresponding new Council District.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Council Districts should avoid displacing any incumbent City Councilmember or Oakland Unified School District Board member from the district he or she was elected to represent.\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ol>\n\u003cp>Council members went into Tuesday night’s meeting prepared to vote for either Map #23, #24 or #25, maps that under their earlier direction combined, but slightly tweaked, maps submitted by constituents. The biggest debate was about whether to make Maxwell Park a part of District 4 or District 6, with residents calling for each. The vote approving Map #26 puts it in District 6.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Instead, they voted on a completely new map that included some of the changes but also resolved some as yet not settled issues, particularly what to do with the Adams Point neighborhood, which McElhaney represents.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>\u003cbr>\nThe proposed districts on \u003ca href=\"https://maps.google.com/maps/ms?msid=216906368307969429944.0004e980a4a4fb4f4fe07&msa=0\" target=\"_blank\">Google Maps\u003c/a>\u003c/em>:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[googlemaps https://maps.google.com/maps/ms?msid=216906368307969429944.0004e980a4a4fb4f4fe07&msa=0&ie=UTF8&t=m&source=embed&ll=37.814124,-122.251053&spn=0.189858,0.291824&z=11&output=embed&w=425&h=350]\u003c/p>\n\n",

More can be learned under the \u003ca title=\"Redistricting\" href=\"http://www2.oaklandnet.com/Government/o/PBN/OurOrganization/PlanningZoning/OAK041315\" target=\"_blank\">Redistricting\u003c/a> menu on the City’s website.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Redistricting is required by City Charter, as well as by federal and state law, if voting districts change so substantially in population size over a decade, as shown by the U.S. census, as to render them unequal. Over the last 10 years since Oakland’s last redistricting process in 2003, West Oakland, or District 3′s population, has soared by 12 percent, while the populations in District 2, generally east of Lake Merritt and part of downtown, and District 5, including the Fruitvale and surrounding areas, have shrunk considerably.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>No districts are supposed to deviate more than 5 percent from the median population count, which is 55,800 per district in Oakland. The City Council voted on June 4 that redistricting was warranted because of the population shifts and interest in creating more equity. Since then it has held a dozen meetings in district neighborhoods and at City Hall while a coalition of community groups, the \u003ca title=\"Oakland Votes Coalition\" href=\"http://www.oaklandvotes.org\" target=\"_blank\">Oakland Votes Coalition\u003c/a>, also held several meetings to encourage public participation. Oakland Votes members today drew an \u003ca title=\"illustration\" href=\"http://www.infoalamedacounty.org/index.php/research/maps/oaklandredistricts.html\" target=\"_blank\">illustration\u003c/a> of how the new redistricting map compares with the existing map created in 2003.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While some residents and community groups raised the idea of creating districts that were socio-economically homogenous to give more voting clout to often under-represented flatland neighborhoods and school districts, the maps the Council voted on do not include wholesale changes to the City’s past districts, just some adjustments. As before, Districts 4, 5, 6 and 7 — and particularly 6 and 7 — include both wealthy neighborhoods in the hills and low-income neighborhoods in the flatlands.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The June 4 vote stipulated that the 2013 redistricting should accomplish the following:\u003c/p>\n\u003col>\n\u003cli>Each Council District shall contain a nearly equal number of inhabitants.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Council District borders shall be drawn in a manner that complies with the U.S. Constitution and the Federal Voting Rights Act.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Council Districts shall respect communities of interest as much as possible.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Council Districts shall consist of contiguous territory in a reasonably compact form.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Council District borders shall follow visible natural and man-made geographical and\u003cbr>\ntopographical features as much as possible.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>The population and territory of each existing Council District shall be considered when drawing each corresponding new Council District.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Council Districts should avoid displacing any incumbent City Councilmember or Oakland Unified School District Board member from the district he or she was elected to represent.\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ol>\n\u003cp>Council members went into Tuesday night’s meeting prepared to vote for either Map #23, #24 or #25, maps that under their earlier direction combined, but slightly tweaked, maps submitted by constituents. The biggest debate was about whether to make Maxwell Park a part of District 4 or District 6, with residents calling for each. The vote approving Map #26 puts it in District 6.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Instead, they voted on a completely new map that included some of the changes but also resolved some as yet not settled issues, particularly what to do with the Adams Point neighborhood, which McElhaney represents.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>\u003cbr>\nThe proposed districts on \u003ca href=\"https://maps.google.com/maps/ms?msid=216906368307969429944.0004e980a4a4fb4f4fe07&msa=0\" target=\"_blank\">Google Maps\u003c/a>\u003c/em>:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003ciframe\n src='https://maps.google.com/maps/ms?msid=216906368307969429944.0004e980a4a4fb4f4fe07&msa=0&ie=UTF8&t=m&source=embed&ll=37.814124,-122.251053&spn=0.189858,0.291824&z=11&output=embed&w=425&h=350'\n title='https://maps.google.com/maps/ms?msid=216906368307969429944.0004e980a4a4fb4f4fe07&msa=0&ie=UTF8&t=m&source=embed&ll=37.814124,-122.251053&spn=0.189858,0.291824&z=11&output=embed&w=425&h=350'\n width='425'\n height='350'\n scrolling='no'\n frameborder='no'>\u003c/iframe>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",
