We can't have nice things. www.instagram.com/p/DLxnuSdyiq...
COUCHDATE IS LEAVING DOWNTOWN OAKLAND On May 6th, I was unloading groceries into couchdate, and there was a shooting right in front of our doors. One of the bullets richocheted off of my car. Thankfully me and all the staff present were ok, but two people were shot and injured. This is the second shooting in front of our doors in the last year. The City of Oakland are not just couchdate's landlord, they have City Hall across from me, their personal offices above me, and the Police Department offices right next door. Despite my emails and calls, the City of Oakland has done absolutely nothing in response. How about some rent relief, or literally anything until the area is stabilized? I couldn't even get a meeting with the Head of Economic and Workforce Development (I have been trying to meet with her and the Head of Real Estate for the better part of a year and they keep on avoiding me). In fact, after the shooting the City fined me for having an artist showcase and raised my rent. As the anchor business of Frank Ogawa Plaza the City of Oakland has done absolutely nothing for couchdate. Going from me, by myself, stirring martinis and flipping records in a warehouse to a bar/restaurant in a historic flat-iron building in the heart of Oakland has been epic. I had never imagined couchdate being "legitimate» or at that scale. The ride has been wild, and the people of Downtown Oakland have f*king shown up. You, the people, are so beautiful. Seriously, ya'll are such a discerning and sophisticated crowd when it comes to music, food, wine - culture in general. The folx of downtown really understood what we were doing, and supported the hell out of it. Brown and Back people deserve to have nice things in beautiful places. Unfortunately the City of Oakland staff, the developers, and the powers that be don't believe in this. They prefer Chipotle over local chefs and farm-to-table produce. They prefer Starbucks over single origin small batch coffee. Over the last year, couchdate has brought over 200 artists to downtown Oakland. We have served over 5,000 people, and spent over $300k on Downtown. The City of Oakland staff discriminated against us, denied us our property, tried to close down our business, and are a MAJOR reason why we are leaving Downtown Oakland. I'm speaking specifically about Deputy Director of Economic & Workforce Development Cristy Johnston, Real Estate Property Asset Manager Brendan Moriarty, and Special Activity Permit Inspector Ricardo Salas - they are actively working against small businesses and Brown and Black culture.

Couchdate — a bar, cafe, vinyl shop, and community space in Frank Ogawa Plaza — says the city pushed it out of downtown Oakland.

Records I obtained show there’s more to the story. oaklandside.org/2025/07/23/o...
Why is couchdate leaving downtown? It depends on who you ask
A city spokesperson says the bar held unpermitted events and had a “concerning history” as a commercial tenant. The owner says Oakland made it “impossible” to stay open. Records show there’s more to t...
