It is time we focus our scrutinizing eye on the many, shabby, sub-standared dwellings that dot the cityscape of Oakland. These multi-user dwellings are hives of crime and filth. The residents don’t seem to show any pride in their residence and the owners poorly maintain them. Some have turned into hives of crime and neglect. Many of them need to be leveled and replaced by market rate lofts or condos.

This months Hive Hall of Shame winner is next to the newer Telegraph Lofts on 24th and Telegraph. Walk around the block to 25th st. and you can see that this is quite a different place. The first thing you notice is the stench, then the garbage that’s strewn about. What a disgusting place. There’s usually matresses and discarded appliances in the back too.
