This SPUR report from May 2025 analyzes Oakland's structural budget deficit and proposes nine recommendations to achieve fiscal solvency and economic growth. The report identifies a decades-long imbalance where revenue growth has not kept pace with rising pension, healthcare, insurance, and operational costs, exacerbated by post-pandemic challenges including labor shortages, decreased tax revenues from real estate, tourism, and retail sales, and a 78% disapproval rating of city government according to an Oakland Budget Advisory Commission survey. The analysis notes that Oakland's fiscal crisis mirrors broader challenges in comparable California cities including San Francisco and San José, and occurred against a backdrop of governance disruption following the former mayor's recall in November 2024 and subsequent federal indictment.
