Have you heard the
one about the broken window? The “broken window” theory
goes like this: If even one window in a
well-tended neighborhood is broken, it can start
to bring down the neighborhood and make people in
the area behave unlawfully. And this is the
principle the City of Oakland is using to attack
grime and crime.
City Manager Robert Bobb is
leading the fight. Bobb has been in office since
November 1997 and is creating programs to guide
the City's departments to work collaboratively on
cleaning up the city.
