East Bay Conservative takes a look at events in Oakland and the surrounding areas from a non-Leftist viewpoint. This does not necessarily mean we’re actually conservatives, as traditionally defined across the US. We’re not evangelical Christians, we’re pro-choice, and we’re not particularly fond of guns. That being said, we stand opposed the throngs of people in the Bay Area who can properly be called Leftists — those who believe things such as:

  •  There is no reasonable maximum tax rate. The more you tax people, the better.
  • Government services generally, or always, work better than those provided by private industry.
  • Organic food is meaningfully better for people and/or the environment than regular food.
  • Schools should receive as much money as possible, and no one should ever ask what they use it for.
  • The homeless should never be regulated or constrained in any way.

The East Bay provides daily evidence of the failure of these and other Leftist beliefs. East Bay Conservative exists to expose these failures and to suggest alternatives to the good people of the East Bay.

    I am delighted to learn of your new blog. As a free-market public policy research organization based in Oakland, we believe that much of our work may be of special interest regarding such issues as housing, transportation, crime, education, etc.

    Please let me know how to contact you by phone and email.

    Best regards,
