Oakland Restaurant Owners Are Split on Mayor Sheng Thao’s Efforts to Combat Crime | Eater SF
"At the Ethiopian restaurant Mela Bistro, Chef Adiam Tsegaye says years of COVID-related struggle have left her feeling ignored by the city as employees’ cars have been stolen, broken into, or vandalized; she has cut staff hours and closed earlier because she won't have anyone stay past 9 p.m., and during a recent brunch service eight customers’ cars were broken into in less than 15 minutes, prompting her to question whether it’s worth continuing given mounting safety concerns." - Dianne de Guzman
