Russel City is 100% within the city of Hayward I don't know why they said it's part of unincorporated Alameda county
-
I was 4 years old when my family was forced to move away from Russell City. Wow. When I saw that map and the name of "Herman's Store", it had not crossed my mind for 50 plus years until then.

Typical "redevelopement agency" tactics
-
I love learning about the history of Russel City I actually have the Images of America Russel City book right next to me
-
wow! i am learning so much about racism in san leandro and now hayward
-
Oh wow. Born and raised in the Bay and never heard of this before..
-
My Dad and his family grew up there!
-
I would love to watch Part 2.
-
Great reporting. I would like to see follow ups on possible reparations.

The people that know of people implementing Urban Renewal, are still here today. They are NIMBYs that prevent density of housing, especially in rich-resourced areas (e.g. Rockridge, Piedmont, etc, Berkeley). #YIMBY

I love how they try to make it a white racism thing. We lived in that area for 30 years until two years ago. It never was a majority white area, and in the last 10 years the Asian and Indians have become the majority. The main push to clean up and modernize the decaying Russel City area was really done to build the huge industrial park area that is there now. Industrial Blvd now separates that commercial area from the housing areas.

Russell City isn't a real place, in the same way that Santa Clara and Cherryland in Hayward, also aren't real cities either. These are neighborhoods within cities. It's like people calling Willow Glen in San Jose its own city when it isn't and never was. If you want to talk about lost cities, there are none. California has only 1 city that is a CITY and is lost, in the way that it never grew the way it should have, California City. All others are just neighborhoods or suburban tract developments of cities.

Enough with this race crap. My great grandmother had a little home in Daly City and they bulldozed her house to make westborough rd and serramonte shopping center. She and all the neighbors were Italian.. where is the news story and sympathy on them and their community or are only black people who had childhoods where they “played and had no cares in the world “ the only people we have to give sympathy to and give all of our attention?
-
This is so sad. We should give them reparations.
