For being a city with a bad reputation yall sure are a bunch of cry babies. Yall over here getting offended like its a little girl and you ruined her tea party. Get the crap outta here you know where you at. I just drove thru and spoke my mind i had no idea having an opinion could hurt so many feelings.
For sure I know where I’m at it is bad. No way around it . I’m sure that’s how everyone sees it when they visit . Bad choice to visit Oakland . If you ain’t from Oakland or have any type of business why would you come ? It is what it is . Nono e should get butt hurt . It has it good and bad like everywhere . But Oakland is bad . No way around it LOL
Yea they are being sensitive. The reason is Oakland gets a lot of hate in the Bay Area and it's actually really annoying. My mother was born in Oakland and I Iived there as a kid and later as an adult while attending college. I also have lived in Berkeley and San Francisco. I still spend a lot of time in Oakland for various reasons. The reason people are sensitive is that people on the peninsula will look down on Oakland and are quite ridiculous about it. even if you mention that there are good neighborhoods that are really nice, they will respond "that's not really Oakland". they want to define it to meet their absurd stereotype. So people who actually live in Oakland get sensitive about that. Particularly when someone wants to show the hood or homeless but ignore the abundant good that is in Oakland. I get that. I also understand most of the people here being sensitive dont' understand that this is something you do in every city. I saw your video on the Tenderloin. It would have been good to contrast International with Temescal, Uptown, Lake Merrit, rockridge, or many other good districts in Oakland. peace!

More good than bad in Oakland. Oakland is underrated how big it is, much larger than San Francisco. If you spent considerable time in Oakland, you'd realize how amazing it is.
My dad started working for the City of Oakland Parks Department in the early 1960s. He trimmed most of the Oakland trees among other things. He always said that Oakland was one of the most beautiful cities. The people of Oakland saved his life. The strap that supported him when he climbed trees broke and he fell to the ground the old chainsaws didn't shut off fell on his leg and hit an artery. Near the very so called bad neighborhood people always talk about. The neighbors and passer-bys all stopped to help my father until help could arrive. They tied his leg with a belt near the artery calmed him and prayed for him. He never forgot that. The scar was massive but he lived. The local newspaper put it in the paper. Oakland will always be special to me
I at no point said anything bad about the people. I said the facts about crime here. I have been watching music videos about Oakland since i was little and i was fascinated to see the place for the first time. People in the hood are not bad, they are just not smart enough to get out.
man I love this comment. I remember when the 89 quake happened and the old cypress freeway collapsed hundreds of people were trapped under the collapsed freeway in west oakland and I remember all those people from the hood were climbing up onto the freeway to help people. I have no idea how many lives they saved but I'll never forget that. The Bay and Oakland especially filled with awesome people.
Oakland folks are in major denial . My sister lives here I worry about her daily. It ain’t cool to worry about getting shot near your home especially when you think about how much they’re paying to live here.
All they’re doing is driving around the less fortunate, and people with struggles and feelings better about themselves. I feel bad that they think they’re doing something great “ ignorance is bliss “
Yeah but if they didn't you'd be saying that places like Oakland are "invisible to most Americans" and that the rest of the country just wants to look the other way because they don't want to see how things really are.
I grew up in these streets on 98th and my grandparents house is on 33rd and even though it's tuff but I'll always love this city cause it's like no other 🌴
I'm sorry! Sorry you had to grow up in a city! Being born and raised on a horse ranch i just couldn't even imagine! Also did you use the word's beautiful and city in the same sentence? Didn't know there was such a thing as a beautiful city!?!?
That's worst area in Oakland. Oakland has high crime and poverty but also wealth in the hills and north Oakland. I grew up in a transitional neighborhood of North Oakland (Temescal) in the 80's when it was cheap. We paid around $300 for a large two bedroom in a 4 Plex.
@@Richnrollinbeatsthat is completely false. $300 in 1982 is equivalent to $925.53 in today's Dollars. But I'm talking 35 years ago anyhow so that would be equivalent to $786.21 today. Actually we started out in 1983 and I believe it was less then $200 then, -inflation adjusted rents were already rising back then.
@@carolyoung1938 for the record $300 in 1982 is equivalent to about $925.53 in 2022 Dollars, not $3000 as another poster inaccurately claims. Temescal has dramatically changed during that time, mainly since the year 2000
@@Richnrollinbeats the 2 bedroom in Temescal would indeed be over $3000 today however mainly due to massive gentrification in the area since the year 2000. Inflation alone wouldn't put the rent anywhere near $3000 however. Again it would only be $900 something based on inflation alone. But I was talking more like 35 years near the peak of a big rent spike before things cooled down. We actually paid the equivalent to less $700 today 39 years ago when we first moved in.
my dad literally stopped at a panda express in oakland… he was traveling with his instrument and suitcase (because he’s a musician) and some people broke into his rental car and took his things 😭 he was in panda express for 5 mins
Well, did he stop at the Hegenberger one? That’s where most of Oakland’s theft crime happens. Like about 50-60% at this point. One of the worst for car break-ins. They watch to see if people from the airport leave stuff in cars and target rentals specifically. Why would he leave his rental car with unattended things inside? They target that area cause people flying in from the airport often leave their stuff in cars. Sorry but locals know not to leave things in their cars, especially in the airport area in the Hegenberger Plaza.
Dont go at night with out of state plates. And always have a car space at a stop light. Side shows can be a any given day n night. There’s alot to see in Oakland.
I literally grew up on 98 A street. 4:00 I love Oakland, our culture like no other. Poverty in every city but at the end of the day its a mindset. Growing through the struggle is a gift, you develop certain character that gives you an edge in this game of life.
This video is so full of inaccuracies and blanket generalizations. Oakland has a lot of really nice areas and you talk about being from Florida? Well, Oakland is MUCH wealthier than Miami if we're talking about Median Income, so go and figure out your low incomes and inferior college education before you come here and talk about our problems. How's that for stereotyping?
First of all, your retarded at best. When you factor in Housing cost and taxes, people in Louisiana are better off than someone in Oakland. Oakland is covered in gangs and graffiti with a murder rate about 3X higher than Miami. Miami is one of the safest cities its size, oakland is one of the most dangerous. Miami has beaches, and warm weather.. oakland has graffiti and gangs. Statistically to try to compare Oakland to anything other than Detroit is absurd. Oakland is KNOWN for crime, miami is known for palm trees and beaches. The idea you could even compare these two cities shows how far up the back san fran has taken you
@@leftisland2603 Forget housing, food and taxes.. just factor fuel cost in California.. you can compare California cost of living to LA or FL. Poverty rates are higher in the south because you can live on less. you have no idea what your talking about, I have been in Oakland, Miami and NO in the last 2 months have you?
@@FLORIDAHOODVLOGS Oh I have been to all 3 within the past 2 years and Oakland is by far the BEST place to live NO QUESTION. The Bay Area runs circles around **ANY** southern metro, effortlessly.
The commentary was pure comedy! Lol! I didn’t even finish watching it, but I bet y’all never got out the car to actually interact with the people of Oakland! And you literally drove down E.14th lol did you touch any area of the city? Oh and about SFO drive through their hoods you’d be surprised 🤷🏽♀️
@@FLORIDAHOODVLOGS Also, you do not know me. Why are you assuming that I am from Oakland? Very ignorant statement on your behalf to assume that I am from “the hood”.
@@jasperbagley why would you assume they need help? Its one of the most expensive places in USA. I think your the judgmental one and now your withdrawing from the conversation you started cuz you know how i am coming at you. Let’s discuss this your the one who started talking. Why try to back out now? I don’t owe these people anything and they’re fine without you and me. You don’t even live here like half the other people on here talking. I bet real people from Oakland would be glad to met us, get to know more about our travels. I know plenty about the artist and cultures of the people here.. enough to know they simply would love who we are and how we make a living.
I was born and raised in Oakland from 1963 - 1995 it was a beautiful place. I left Oakland in 1995 after that the city went down hill. I don't even go visit.
Walgreens,CVS are all leaving Because state law holds that stealing merchandise worth $950 or less is just a misdemeanor, which means that law enforcement probably won't bother to investigate, and if they do, prosecutors will let it go. Why won't store employees do anything about this theft? Because they don't want to take the risk.
as delivery driver my route is exactly where you drove... for six days a week . seven years .i see shooting one time I see a lot of reckless drivers but I don't care . From 105th Ave all the way to first Ave by the lake that's my territory..
As a Bay Area local and someone who lives in Oakland I agree that Oakland has really bad areas but you have to show the good areas too, Oakland Zoo, Montclair, The Cathedral Building, Oakland City Hall, Chabot Space and Science Center, Shepherds Canyon Park, Lake Merritt, Reinhardt Redwood Regional Park, and other places. Oakland may not be the best city, but it’s my city. Another thing I would like to point out is that other big cities like San Francisco, Los Angeles, New York also have areas like this. Every city has its ups and downs. I’m not saying that this video is wrong, there are many places like this in Oakland, but I just wanted to point out some of the highlights of the city.
I’m not saying the video is wrong though, I’m saying that Oakland isn’t all bad, there are some bad areas I will acknowledge that, but it’s not all bad. @@FLORIDAHOODVLOGS
Reminds me also of Philly in DA HOOD areas. The problem again is the high cost of living drives many of these folks on the streets and also you have to blame the local Government for allowing it...
Lmfaoo i thought I’d dread the day I see your kind studying my neighborhood if you don’t live or not from Oakland you will never understand Oakland your daughter said Oakland has good artist and your reply to her was “vandalism “ please if your going to speak on my city speak on what the people do in my city speak highly of them if not videos as such with your unwarranted opinions on the people in this city can and will get you called out.

You two are ignorant. Crime in Oakland, Ca is not much different than in other hoods, stop the cap. Watch out when you make that right turn, on International.
Nothing like hearing the typical outsider judging here based on crime statistics and literally not stating anything good about the city which there is many good things. You are the crybaby being scared of homeless people and graffiti. You stated nothing about the history or landmarks or how beautiful parts of the city are. Oakland is very diverse, good culture, has great food, wonderful hiking trails, and I have had way better experiences here than bad with the locals and the wonderful bay mountain and bay views. Almost has 460,000 people and is a big city. There are good and bad parts. You are judge the lower income parts and kept saying how grimy it is. Dude, you are privileged. You think people who are local would be happy about the complaining you did in the video? No. You are soft and you can tell from this video. Yes, Oakland has some crime problems but it also has many good things.
Are you Hispanic? Because i am. If your not part of our community i dont care about your opinion. Y’all don’t like it when we talk about yours.. so why come Mingle here?
Oakland is not Sketchy it’s real life. Nothing in life is perfect nevertheless a city. I was born and raised in East oakland 28th and Foothill. My parents bought a house I Havenscourt in 2004. I left to college to San Jose State came back to my hood and bought a house on my parents block in Havenscourt. Oakland is beautiful including the struggle. I lived in different places in the country and I continue and prefer to come back to Oakland. Oakland has heart and character it’s not for the weak people. You learn street smart which eventually becomes a life skill. You learn to hustle and survive. You just a hater that lives in a upscale neighborhood. Don’t ever disrespect Oakland like. We will come for you. You disrespected the people that we are from here. As the spokesperson from Oakland don’t pass by come back the the hood.
He made Us seem and sound so bad kept saying super sketchy thanks for putting His boot-c ass in His place and Big Ups to The Murder Dubbs but You got Snapchat?
Every word out this dude's mouth is "grimy"... WTF you come out to the bay for? They don't roll out to your neighborhood and tell you your mansion is too big. Get out and talk to the folks and let them know how much you don't like the town and how grimy it is.
Your fear is what will cause you to be a victim. You are breaking traffic violations and panicking. Always keep your head on a swivel but don’t make it obvious. Maybe speak with a few locals find out more information before you spew out misinformation.
Big cap tent city in west Oakland was sketchy , lower bottoms is sketchy n San Leandro blvd all the way down is sketchy , u not really from the town if u think that fr
Drives by the GhostShip oblivious. Says the Dollar Tree is closed when looking at the back of a large and always filled store. Walgreens is closed but in many places including San Francisco. Completely avoids the beautiful Lake Merritt, Jack London and the Estuary, the hills, Leona Heights, the Observatory, the non-tourist Chinatown area. Yeah, poor people always live in the lowlands and often in old apartments. Misses all the new buildings and renovations happening in the downtown area. Middle of the day, No chance to see the many Farmers Markets, Friday Nights Off the Grid at the Oakland Museum, weekend soccer games on Wood Street, City Slickers Community Gardens. Amazing hiking trails, ferryboats, gondolas trams at the zoo, archery range, symphony, can't be enjoyed from inside a locked car. Didn't interact with any Oaklanders, so no contact with the very diverse community. Could have had Eritrean, Ethiopian, Korean, Japanese, Mandarin, Szechuan, Mongolian, Mexican, Guatemalan, Nicaraguan, Vietnamese, Soul Food, Afghan, Cambodian, Burmese, Chicken and Waffles, Macaroni and Beers, Middle Eastern (Kosher, Halal, Iraqi, Persian and more), Thai, French, Spanish, Italian, Brazilian (and more) types of food, breweries, pubs, clubs and cafes, vibrant LGBTQ, artist, activist, and music communities. Could have found any religious, agnostic, or atheist community. The hometown of the Vice President and of the Black Panthers. Strong Unions, motorcycle clubs, street racing and so much more. Too bad you missed all the Warrior celebrations with more than a million peoplein the streets. Just sayin.
@@FLORIDAHOODVLOGS Hmm, you used the plural, so which group are you specifically referring to in that list? I could guess at what you mean but can't answer your vague comment. Oakland is the most diverse city in the country. Diversity means a whole lot of everybody. I did not mention several groups who would fit your category. I also didn't mention significant protests that happen here. Also, forgot to mention that the Port of Oakland is a major gateway for products coming from eastern countries and being sent by truck, sea, air and rail across the U.S. I didn't mention the boom in construction (commercial and residential) and the tech workers who have driven up the cost of housing. Also, the huge amount of beautiful and meaningful murals in the city that came out of the efforts of the city council to help some of the taggers shift to jobs where they are acknowledged and paid for their talents while building legit reputations.

Is it the residents of Oakland that give it a bad reputation or people that visit and target Oakland that make it look bad? Look at it in the perspective of people throwing garbage in front of your home and tagging the sidewalk leading to your porch….. is it you that should be labeled with a bad reputation or the evil of people that actually had done it?
You think it was bad in 2022, come back now. It's a living and breathing shitshow, with giant homeless encampments everywhere, burnt out cars, trash everywhere, car hijackings, breakins, burglaries, gang shootouts. And our leaders think everything is peachy. I've lived here for over a decade, it's really gotten a lot worse.

why does my opinion bother you? AT LEAST I gave your town a try.. everyone told me NOT TO VISIT,.. I STILL WENT. And with out of plate tags and the highest car jacking rates in USA... thats not a easy move to make.. my car looks cool too with red rims.. i really risked it.. maybe your cars not a target but i really risked it. i think your really narrow minded i see plenty of locals who loved us going there. and if you feel the need to "delete" other peoples opinions, GO SEE A physiatrist service your in denial about something.

Because city officials over the years took money out the city. When I grew up the city was a beautiful city. I was able to walk up and down the streets with no problem. Black owned business were thriving and money was coming in to support the black owned businesses. Now most off all the summer programs for the you are gone because of lack of funding. City officials took all money black own or minority own businesses, which meant they were forced to shut down. City of Oakland refused to clean the city that why you see all the trash. If you notice how north Oakland is all remodeled and clean compared to east Oakland. Gentrification is the reason. Mayor's that were into off either stole city funds for personal use or even used money to house the rich and build all those high rise buildings you see in on telegraph Ave. Do your research from the 1990's until now. High rent, no jobs and nothing for the youth to do. This is what happens to all inner cities like Oakland .
@@FLORIDAHOODVLOGS its city officials that take money out of certain areas like Oakland that the people are predominantly black and put the money into other areas. That's why cities like Oakland, Michigan and other cities are ran down and businesses in those communities are closed.
Actually Oakland is not bad. Oakland was considered sketchy back in the 80’s and 90’s. Back then, you wouldn't have gotten away with riding through filiming the area. Now Stockton is sketchy 🤷🏾♀️
Oakland is actually pretty bad it’s one of the worst cities in California every year , and has real urban slums not that rural slums like Florida , I would rather live in Florida , Oakland was out of control when I stayed on 90th n olive , and 72nd n rudsdale
Oakland got grafiti everywere vandalism violence great food it has a lot of culture everywere but trust me if you in the wrong spot it’s over everyone be safe

Lol why were you so scared driving thru there lol. Talking about cars pulling up in back of you. Wasn't nobody gonna do nothing to y'all. As long as you mind your business you'll be fine lol.
I was born and raised in Oakland it has gone down, but that what the powers to be want and if you are scared you need to stay out of Oakland and how can you compare Oakland to Los Angeles or any other big cities you know you say it has the highest crime and all this but it's not what about Chicago Detroit New York ect. it's sad when people make videos and they don't know what they are talking about
Dudes voice is annoying I love Oakland I have an office there I do direct marketing I walk up and down these neighborhoods day and night distributing free phones to all community not once did I feel threatened or scared I will just say this at 8 o’clock I leave the city And where the couch is at with all the people chilling there I’ve personally been there helping them get they services really cool cats seriously offered me a chair and drink When your not raised in the hood it’s looks like a whole new country to some Like I tell most people I feel the most comfortable with the fiends crackheads and drug dealers because I come from a place and love to all no matter the situation

Why would you say these people are leas fortunate? You only see the material things?
Yeah but if they didn't you'd be saying that places like Oakland are "invisible to most Americans" and that the rest of the country just wants to look the other way because they don't want to see how things really are.
Glad she appreciated the art. Thats when the hate started lol
what? LOL explain!
I grew up in these streets on 98th and my grandparents house is on 33rd and even though it's tuff but I'll always love this city cause it's like no other 🌴
It has gone done hill. The last several tree hugging mayors have been horrible for the city,
@@maloney7461 Agree
Frfr
in the late 80s and early 90s was hell
I'm sorry! Sorry you had to grow up in a city! Being born and raised on a horse ranch i just couldn't even imagine! Also did you use the word's beautiful and city in the same sentence? Didn't know there was such a thing as a beautiful city!?!?
That's worst area in Oakland. Oakland has high crime and poverty but also wealth in the hills and north Oakland. I grew up in a transitional neighborhood of North Oakland (Temescal) in the 80's when it was cheap. We paid around $300 for a large two bedroom in a 4 Plex.
And in the hills they can afford private security, and they get it and need it
Due to inflation 40 years later that same 2 bedroom today would be at least 10 times ($3,000) the amount
@@Richnrollinbeatsthat is completely false. $300 in 1982 is equivalent to $925.53 in today's Dollars. But I'm talking 35 years ago anyhow so that would be equivalent to $786.21 today. Actually we started out in 1983 and I believe it was less then $200 then, -inflation adjusted rents were already rising back then.
@@carolyoung1938 for the record $300 in 1982 is equivalent to about $925.53 in 2022 Dollars, not $3000 as another poster inaccurately claims. Temescal has dramatically changed during that time, mainly since the year 2000
@@Richnrollinbeats the 2 bedroom in Temescal would indeed be over $3000 today however mainly due to massive gentrification in the area since the year 2000. Inflation alone wouldn't put the rent anywhere near $3000 however. Again it would only be $900 something based on inflation alone. But I was talking more like 35 years near the peak of a big rent spike before things cooled down. We actually paid the equivalent to less $700 today 39 years ago when we first moved in.
Oakland is one of those places we’re if you ain’t got no business there you don’t go there !
great place for sure, i agree
my dad literally stopped at a panda express in oakland… he was traveling with his instrument and suitcase (because he’s a musician) and some people broke into his rental car and took his things 😭 he was in panda express for 5 mins
Well, did he stop at the Hegenberger one? That’s where most of Oakland’s theft crime happens. Like about 50-60% at this point. One of the worst for car break-ins. They watch to see if people from the airport leave stuff in cars and target rentals specifically. Why would he leave his rental car with unattended things inside? They target that area cause people flying in from the airport often leave their stuff in cars. Sorry but locals know not to leave things in their cars, especially in the airport area in the Hegenberger Plaza.
Dont go at night with out of state plates. And always have a car space at a stop light. Side shows can be a any given day n night. There’s alot to see in Oakland.
They did a sideshow on The Embarcadero then on the bay bridge a few nights ago. I got som video of them driving through Sue Bierman park.
I literally grew up on 98 A street. 4:00 I love Oakland, our culture like no other. Poverty in every city but at the end of the day its a mindset. Growing through the struggle is a gift, you develop certain character that gives you an edge in this game of life.
Welcome to Oakland California ain't another city like us
Not something to be proud of, high murder rate
@@thedanwriter1 many cities with high murder rates it’s never just 1 city or state
I'm born n raised in Oakland now living in Rosarito Beach Mx...and let me tell you Oakland is one of the most expensive ghettos you'll ever see.
correct
Cause it isnt ghetto, its prime real estate
even siri sounded nervous lol
Always leave enough space in front of your car in traffic to make a quick get away!!! From the evil ones!!!!
This video is so full of inaccuracies and blanket generalizations. Oakland has a lot of really nice areas and you talk about being from Florida? Well, Oakland is MUCH wealthier than Miami if we're talking about Median Income, so go and figure out your low incomes and inferior college education before you come here and talk about our problems. How's that for stereotyping?
First of all, your retarded at best. When you factor in Housing cost and taxes, people in Louisiana are better off than someone in Oakland. Oakland is covered in gangs and graffiti with a murder rate about 3X higher than Miami. Miami is one of the safest cities its size, oakland is one of the most dangerous. Miami has beaches, and warm weather.. oakland has graffiti and gangs. Statistically to try to compare Oakland to anything other than Detroit is absurd. Oakland is KNOWN for crime, miami is known for palm trees and beaches. The idea you could even compare these two cities shows how far up the back san fran has taken you
there is no stereotyping, these are STATISTICS learn how to read
Poverty Rate, 2021(US Census Bureau)
New Orleans, LA 23%
Miami. FL 20%
Oakland, CA 13%
Im just saying. Lol.
@@leftisland2603 Forget housing, food and taxes.. just factor fuel cost in California.. you can compare California cost of living to LA or FL. Poverty rates are higher in the south because you can live on less. you have no idea what your talking about, I have been in Oakland, Miami and NO in the last 2 months have you?
@@FLORIDAHOODVLOGS Oh I have been to all 3 within the past 2 years and Oakland is by far the BEST place to live NO QUESTION. The Bay Area runs circles around **ANY** southern metro, effortlessly.

Oakland looks like the east coast hoods. Rough and gritty. Nothing like Southern California.
I was born and raised in Oakland from 1963 - 1995 it was a beautiful place. I left Oakland in 1995 after that the city went down hill. I don't even go visit.
If Oakland is so grimy for you why do you even bother driving around Oakland???
to get paid, my rich neighborhood aint cheap
Walgreens,CVS are all leaving Because state law holds that stealing merchandise worth $950 or less is just a misdemeanor, which means that law enforcement probably won't bother to investigate, and if they do, prosecutors will let it go. Why won't store employees do anything about this theft? Because they don't want to take the risk.
absolutely insane. catering to crime
as delivery driver my route is exactly where you drove... for six days a week . seven years .i see shooting one time I see a lot of reckless drivers but I don't care .

As a Bay Area local and someone who lives in Oakland I agree that Oakland has really bad areas but you have to show the good areas too, Oakland Zoo, Montclair, The Cathedral Building, Oakland City Hall, Chabot Space and Science Center, Shepherds Canyon Park, Lake Merritt, Reinhardt Redwood Regional Park, and other places. Oakland may not be the best city, but it’s my city. Another thing I would like to point out is that other big cities like San Francisco, Los Angeles, New York also have areas like this. Every city has its ups and downs.
I’m not saying that this video is wrong, there are many places like this in Oakland, but I just wanted to point out some of the highlights of the city.
If i showed the good areas you wouldn’t be in the comments talking about my video
I’m not saying the video is wrong though, I’m saying that Oakland isn’t all bad, there are some bad areas I will acknowledge that, but it’s not all bad. @@FLORIDAHOODVLOGS
Reminds me also of Philly in DA HOOD areas. The problem again is the high cost of living drives many of these folks on the streets and also you have to blame the local Government for allowing it...

You two are ignorant. Crime in Oakland, Ca is not much different than in other hoods, stop the cap. Watch out when you make that right turn, on International.
20/100K is getting to be high... thats not normal.
Nothing like hearing the typical outsider judging here based on crime statistics and literally not stating anything good about the city which there is many good things. You are the crybaby being scared of homeless people and graffiti. You stated nothing about the history or landmarks or how beautiful parts of the city are. Oakland is very diverse, good culture, has great food, wonderful hiking trails, and I have had way better experiences here than bad with the locals and the wonderful bay mountain and bay views. Almost has 460,000 people and is a big city. There are good and bad parts. You are judge the lower income parts and kept saying how grimy it is. Dude, you are privileged. You think people who are local would be happy about the complaining you did in the video? No. You are soft and you can tell from this video. Yes, Oakland has some crime problems but it also has many good things.
Who even says super sketchy 😂😂😂 bruhhhhh outta here
why bothers you so much about my opinion? your in denial? whats you problem? everyone is entitle to an opinion

Oakland is not Sketchy it’s real life. Nothing in life is perfect nevertheless a city. I was born and raised in East oakland 28th and Foothill. My parents bought a house I Havenscourt in 2004. I left to college to San Jose State came back to my hood and bought a house on my parents block in Havenscourt. Oakland is beautiful including the struggle. I lived in different places in the country and I continue and prefer to come back to Oakland. Oakland has heart and character it’s not for the weak people. You learn street smart which eventually becomes a life skill. You learn to hustle and survive. You just a hater that lives in a upscale neighborhood. Don’t ever disrespect Oakland like. We will come for you. You disrespected the people that we are from here. As the spokesperson from Oakland don’t pass by come back the the hood.
Relax girl out of towners dont know the business haha

“We will come for you” That says it all right there.
Every word out this dude's mouth is "grimy"... WTF you come out to the bay for? They don't roll out to your neighborhood and tell you your mansion is too big. Get out and talk to the folks and let them know how much you don't like the town and how grimy it is.
were known for palm trees and beaches not,,, what your area is known for

I cant believe they didnt even consider going to San Francisco when its just 7 miles away on the other side of the bridge
Drives by the GhostShip oblivious. Says the Dollar Tree is closed when looking at the back of a large and always filled store. Walgreens is closed but in many places including San Francisco. Completely avoids the beautiful Lake Merritt, Jack London and the Estuary, the hills, Leona Heights, the Observatory, the non-tourist Chinatown area. Yeah, poor people always live in the lowlands and often in old apartments. Misses all the new buildings and renovations happening in the downtown area. Middle of the day, No chance to see the many Farmers Markets, Friday Nights Off the Grid at the Oakland Museum, weekend soccer games on Wood Street, City Slickers Community Gardens. Amazing hiking trails, ferryboats, gondolas trams at the zoo, archery range, symphony, can't be enjoyed from inside a locked car. Didn't interact with any Oaklanders, so no contact with the very diverse community. Could have had Eritrean, Ethiopian, Korean, Japanese, Mandarin, Szechuan, Mongolian, Mexican, Guatemalan, Nicaraguan, Vietnamese, Soul Food, Afghan, Cambodian, Burmese, Chicken and Waffles, Macaroni and Beers, Middle Eastern (Kosher, Halal, Iraqi, Persian and more), Thai, French, Spanish, Italian, Brazilian (and more) types of food, breweries, pubs, clubs and cafes, vibrant LGBTQ, artist, activist, and music communities. Could have found any religious, agnostic, or atheist community. The hometown of the Vice President and of the Black Panthers. Strong Unions, motorcycle clubs, street racing and so much more. Too bad you missed all the Warrior celebrations with more than a million peoplein the streets. Just sayin.
How is being home to hate groups worth mentioning?
@@FLORIDAHOODVLOGS Hmm, you used the plural, so which group are you specifically referring to in that list? I could guess at what you mean but can't answer your vague comment. Oakland is the most diverse city in the country. Diversity means a whole lot of everybody. I did not mention several groups who would fit your category. I also didn't mention significant protests that happen here. Also, forgot to mention that the Port of Oakland is a major gateway for products coming from eastern countries and being sent by truck, sea, air and rail across the U.S. I didn't mention the boom in construction (commercial and residential) and the tech workers who have driven up the cost of housing. Also, the huge amount of beautiful and meaningful murals in the city that came out of the efforts of the city council to help some of the taggers shift to jobs where they are acknowledged and paid for their talents while building legit reputations.
My rental car got broken into, I only had maybe $3 in change in cup holder,empty clip and spare tire lol all gone in seconds on international

Rental cars are a target cause they think you are coming from the airport and have stuff you leave inside it.

Is it the residents of Oakland that give it a bad reputation or people that visit and target Oakland that make it look bad? Look at it in the perspective of people throwing garbage in front of your home and tagging the sidewalk leading to your porch….. is it you that should be labeled with a bad reputation or the evil of people that actually had done it?
You think it was bad in 2022, come back now. It's a living and breathing shitshow, with giant homeless encampments everywhere, burnt out cars, trash everywhere, car hijackings, breakins, burglaries, gang shootouts.

Because city officials over the years took money out the city. When I grew up the city was a beautiful city. I was able to walk up and down the streets with no problem. Black owned business were thriving and money was coming in to support the black owned businesses. Now most off all the summer programs for the you are gone because of lack of funding. City officials took all money black own or minority own businesses, which meant they were forced to shut down. City of Oakland refused to clean the city that why you see all the trash. If you notice how north Oakland is all remodeled and clean compared to east Oakland. Gentrification is the reason. Mayor's that were into off either stole city funds for personal use or even used money to house the rich and build all those high rise buildings you see in on telegraph Ave. Do your research from the 1990's until now. High rent, no jobs and nothing for the youth to do. This is what happens to all inner cities like Oakland .

blame city officials? they the ones doing graffiti?
