Check out this infographic I made for Oakland North, which illustrates some of the costs incurred by the City of Oakland as officials attempted to manage the Occupy Oakland protests.
Byrhonda Lyons did the reporting:
A week after Occupy Oakland protesters were evicted from Frank Ogawa Plaza for the second time, the city is still paying for the cleanup and security. Currently, the city provides 24-hour patrolled security to make sure no more tents are pitched in the plaza and has upgraded its security systems, as well. As things begin to calm down, many residents are left wondering: How much did Occupy Oakland cost the city? And was it worth it?
Using information released by the City Administrator’s Office, city budget reports and our own reporting, Oakland North reporters have created an infographic that weighs the costs of Occupy Oakland.
All of the graphics I’ve ever never up to this point now seem like crude, childish doodles.
