Oral history is a modern research technique involving an interviewee and an informed interviewer in spontaneous conversation. The taped record is transcribed, lightly edited for continuity and clarity, and reviewed by the interviewee. The resulting manuscript is typed in final form, indexed, bound with photographs and illustrative materials, and placed in The Bancroft Library at the University of California, Berkeley, and other research collections for scholarly use. Because it is primary material, oral history is not intended to present the final, verified, or complete narrative of events. It is a spoken account, offered by the interviewee in response to questioning, and as such it is reflective, partisan, deeply involved, and irreplaceable. ************************************ All uses of this manuscript are covered by a legal agreement between The Regents of the University of California and Robert B.

  • Oakland Market Assessment
    MEMORANDUM To: Matt Maloney, Metropolitan Transportation Commission CC: Aidan Hughes, Tony Bruzzone, and Lauren Dong, Arup From: Nadine Fogarty, Alison Nemirow, and Flavio Coppola, Strategic Economics Date: April 15, 2016 Title: Revised Oakland Market Assessment 1 Introduction This memorandum assesses the potential for employment and household growth in Downtown Oakland between 2015 and 2040, based on an analysis of recent employment, demographic, and real estate market trends. The analysis is intended to inform the Core Capacity Transit Study (CCTS), and accompanies Strategic Economics’ previous assessment of the potential for future employment growth in the San Francisco Core. Following this introduction, the memorandum includes the following sections: Purpose, Approach, and Limitations of the Analysis Demographic and Residential Market Trends Employment and Commercial Market Trends Household and Employment Growth Scenarios Appendix A includes a detailed description of the assumptions and methodology used to develop the household and employment growth scenarios. Appendix B compares the scenarios to projections from other sources. Appendix C provides an overview of recent development trends in the Broadway-Valdez area. Core Capacity Transit Study Page 1 of 54 2 Purpose, Approach, and Limitations of the Analysis 2.1 Purpose Downtown Oakland serves as one of the key regional employment centers in the Bay Area, accounting for the largest concentration of employment in the East Bay (Alameda and Contra Costa Counties) and benefiting from its location at the center of the region, excellent transit access, and proximity to the Oakland International Airport and Port of Oakland. Downtown Oakland accounted for approximately 2.2 percent of the nine-county Bay Area’s jobs and 0.4 percent of the region’s households in 2013 – making it substantially smaller and less dense than the San Francisco Core (Figure 1).
