… The overall goal is to build community,” said Stephan Doues of Mercy Housing. “That starts with building anew.”
A West Sacramento nonprofit, Mercy built the $24 million apartments with stimulus funds and a $5.9 million city loan.
Stockton-based Visionary Home Builders of California built the $5.9 million homes with stimulus funds and a $2.6 million city loan.
Other state tax credits, grants and private bank funding also went into the project.
The attractive units line two sides of a rebuilt and reopened Gleason Park, which around 1984 became a feverish center of drug activity and utter lawlessness.
Scores of drug dealers, big- and small-time, brazenly crowded the park, selling marijuana, cocaine, PCP, meth and heroin in plain sight.
The drug activity led to shootings, drive-bys, stabbings, beatings, robberies, carjackings and prostitution – sometimes all on the same day. Police were unable to tame the area.

When the California gold rush began in 1848, San Francisco went from being a small, sleepy town on the Bay to being the busy starting-off point for gold seekers. The city grew fast, and not always in the best ways. Part of its waterfront became known as the Barbary Coast, the seedy home of prostitutes, thieves, gamblers, con-men, and opium addicts. That section of San Francisco wasn’t really erased until 1914.
…
The Tribune noted in 1893, “The crusade against ladies’ entrance saloons is spreading … No more demoralizing influence is at work … than (in) those saloons. They are the destroyers of homes and the recruiting stations of the brothel. Pure womanhood is the greatest mainstay of our civilization.”
…
In January, 1888, the Tribune asked if an existing ordinance prohibiting houses of prostitution would be enforced. In July of that year, Ordinance 54 was passed, levying a $100 fine for running a bawdyhouse.

OAKLAND — The former head of a Contra Costa drug task force pleaded not guilty in federal court Monday morning to an array of corruption charges, and he is expected to be released on bond — if he can convince prosecutors he isn’t a suicide risk.
Norman Wielsch, 50, of Antioch, appeared in an Oakland courthouse Monday, handcuffed and dressed in the red jail uniform that, former peace officers wear for their own safety to separate them from the general population at Alameda County Jail.
He fought back tears as Federal Magistrate Laurel Beeler read the charges against him, which include accusations that the ousted drug agent — who routinely oversaw some of Contra Costa County’s biggest narcotics busts — resold drugs taken from police evidence and was involved with phony arrests and prostitution.

STOCKTON – Gunfire again echoed in Gleason Park and a man died Thursday night, breaking the relative peace the neighborhood had enjoyed in recent years.
Stockton Police Department spokesman Officer Pete Smith said officers responded to the 400 block of South California Street about 8 p.m. Thursday to investigate a report of a person shot. They arrived to find two men shot – one who was pronounced dead shortly after he was taken to a local hospital and another whose wounds were not life threatening.
Smith said that Gleason Park recently has been relatively quiet.
That’s a stark contrast to the 1980s and early 1990s when the area was plagued by drug addicts, gangs and prostitutes. In 1994, city officials gave up on being able to police the area, opting instead to bulldoze bathrooms in the park and turn the water off. In 2001, they surrounded it with chain link fence.

The indictment alleges that Wielsch, who was working as the commander of the state-run Central Contra Costa County Narcotic Enforcement Team, known as CNET, stole methamphetamine and marijuana from county evidence lockers and, working with Butler, a private investigator and former Antioch police officer, sold them back out onto the streets.
The two men are also charged with committing a phony sting operation in which they falsely detained a person, conducted searches without warrants and seized drugs from him while pretending to be conducting a legitimate law enforcement operation.
The indictment also alleges that Butler opened a massage parlor in Pleasant Hill where prostitution was occurring. Butler allegedly required the prostitutes to pay him a weekly fee, which he allegedly shared with Wielsch, in exchange for Wielsch providing them protection from law enforcement.
The pair also allegedly conducted false stings of prostitutes in which they arranged to meet them in local hotels and then, pretending to be acting under legitimate law enforcement authority, stole money and property from them, according to the indictment.

DAVE MITCHELL:  It’s just very unfortunate that one of the Best opportunities  to keep kids out of trouble, to give them a positive alternative, we just don’t have the funding right now to keep them open. I wish that we had the money to open all thirteen pools for as many years as I have been here and I have been here twenty-five years
While the pool in Oak Park remains open for the moment, because of deep cuts in park maintenance, the surrounding park already shows signs of blight. The grass is parched in some areas, weeds grow in others.
A  few miles away, in Tahoe Park the situation seems brighter. Trees are neatly trimmed, Well tended ball fields are crowded.
ISAAC GONZALEZ:  A lot of people enjoy this park because even twenty years ago it wasn’t. There used to be cruises around this park and gang bangers and  prostitution.  But the Neighborhood association, which was started by Darrell Steinberger came in here, got very active. They were the squeaky wheel that got the grease. And that is why this is a great park today.

A recent radio spot airing in Sacramento andSouthern California has garnered a lot of attention for its controversial message that signing petitions could increase your risk for identity theft.
For days now, good government advocates have been criticizing the advertisement by the labor-backed Californians Against Identity Theft, saying it intimidates voters into not exercising their rights.
The state attorney general and the Fair Political Practices Commission recently were asked to investigate the group.
The political machinations behind the ad are the subject of much conjecture, but its warning – that many signature gatherers are “from out of state and move from city to city to carry petitions… Anyone can do it, even convicted felons and forgers” – is right on point.
A 2006 Orange County Register investigation exposed the unregulated underbelly of the signature gathering industry, where workers can circulate petitions despite convictions for child molestation, prostitution, methamphetamine use and immigrant smuggling.
