Jen Izeck, 51, a medical social worker who has lived in Oakland for more than 20 years, said docking the ship in Oakland was “not great.” Clint Carter, a programmer who works in Jack London Square, also questioned why Oakland was chosen to host the ship.“They didn’t put them over in Mill Valley,” he said, referring to the affluent city in Marin County.“The federal leadership we have now, I have no confidence in them,” he said. Carter said his employer subsidizes employees for riding BART, but he has stopped taking it because of fear of contagion. He is now driving to work, he said. He gave his age as “over 50.
“I am more concerned with getting human beings help than with the president’s agenda of keeping the numbers down,” he said. “What if you were on that ship or you had family members on that ship?”
