Yep, it's all about drawing lines around things. Piedmont has little crime, but it's encircled by Oakland. Should it just be lumped in with Oakland statistically?
Speaking of which, when I get around to running for mayor of Oakland, I'm going to have only 2 planks:
1) Charging the people of Piedmont $50 to drive out of Piedmont.
2) Divesting "Oakland" of almost all of its real estate, while retaining all of its civic debts, then letting the remnant entity of "Oakland" just go bankrupt.
I think this is going to be a very popular platform!
