I lived in Oakland for 1 years. In that year, I got my car stolen (epidemic in Oaktown), witnessed a murder by the old Walmart, got rear-ended by someone who drove off, robbed at knifepoint, and saw teen prostitutes on International Blvd. I got out of there fast. I was working in IT doing technical support.
In 20+ years in Oakland, I had my car stolen once and my car broken into twice. That's about the norm for my Oakland social circle. Everyone's experience in life is different. Sorry to hear your year in Oakland was so challenging. Like most cities, it has its crime challenges, but that's far from being the norm throughout the city. Hope you're happier now.
Walmart left a long time ago. Right now, in terms of crime, it’s a near hell hole. Carjackings, shootings, machine gun fire, people robbing you at gun point.
Lmao near hell hole? People are so easily brainwashed by the news... if people like you look at the FBI crimes stats the last 5 decades in Oakland, the 80s and 90s are the worst, the peak... 2021-2022 crimes are no where near near the 80s and 90s... also when crimes was the lowest ever in 2019, and there's an "increase" all of sudden Oakland is a hell hole? Just because we live in an Era where there are cameras everywhere all of sudden there's more crimes? People are so ignorant
? I've been there recently and it was nice no crime
@5:07 Bro, the Walmart in Oakland closed 5 years ago.
Tells you how often I went. Thanks for the update.
I find myself feeling nostalgic about Oakland a lot of times. It was a great place to grow up back in the 60's and 70's and I often wish I had more chances to visit. You are right though about the bad rap that the city gets. The last time I was there people were still very nice and I remember if you lived there your neighborhood was like an extended family, not just a place that you lived. I wish that I new what the schools were like now but I felt like I got a world class education, which I didn't fully appreciate until I left Oakland. I think you would be surprised at how many conservatives actually live in Oakland, though many of them don't consider themselves from Oakland. I often have to remind one of my sisters that Piedmont is part of Oakland, though she denies it. Personally, I'm proud to be from Oakland. The Lake Merritt area was a tad conservative back in the 70's but you are right, its mostly a liberal progressive city. I'm just saying, conservatives will be able to find friends too. Oakland is more than just a diverse city, but having lived there I would consider it a more culturally rich city than San Francisco as well. I don't think people fully appreciate the talent that came from Oakland. Clint Eastwood, Tom Hanks, believe it or not Max Baer from the Beverly Hillbillies, MC Hammer, Tower of Power, the Pointer Sisters, En Vogue and that's just who I can think of off the top of my head. Oakland has museums, and historic theatres that for some reason people outside of Oakland don't seem to know about but really inspired me growing up. The traffic can be bad, but back when my mom commuted to San Francisco to work, she always took BART. AC transit was also another good way to travel, but I have to admit, I haven't been on BART or AC Transit since the 80's, so I'm guessing it has changed somewhat. Driving I usually found staying off the highways got me where I was going depending on where that was. I can go on and on about the things that I loved about Oakland growing up. I don't know how much of it has changed, but I still feel lucky that I got to grow up there.
Thanks foe watching and sharing your thoughts about and memories of Oakland.
Keep your starry illusions and STAY AWAY!!!
Great video! Informative and honest.
Thanks ... I love Oakland, but it isn't perfect. No place is! Thanks for watching.
I was starting to fall in love with Oakland before the Pandemic hit but now Oakland and Berkeley look like completely different places due to new apartment complexes. It's very cramped. I just stopped thinking about moving to Oakland when my Catalytic Converter got stolen and someone kept messing with my gas and stealing some of it from my car when visiting friends.
OAKLAND is a doomed habitation.
I've traveled through 39 states and many cities in this country and believe me it's very different
very honest analyze.
Thanks for viewing and commenting.
i lived around lake merritt many years and absolutely loved it. i felt i thrived there. but the housing situation became horrible so i had to move. ☹️
Housing in the Bay Area is its biggest challenge.
Im so happy I got the fuck up out of there
Hope you're living somewhere happy.
I hear your voice in voice overs… you should do that as a career too!
It sounds like all of the necesitys that is needed in a city - is not in Oakland 😢
Do you think the mass exodus of people that left the bay area had affected the housing or rental markets?
There really hasn't been a mass exodus of people leaving the Bay Area. That's more media hype than anything else. Most people leaving SF and Silicon Valley are relocating in other nearby counties. Traditionally, about 15% to 18% percent of relocations are out of area and there hasn't been any indication that those numbers have changed recently.
Housing prices have definitely not declined as you would anticipate if a mass exodus were happening.
I love Oakland I will still stay
Are you one of the criminals there? I imagine they are very happy there.
These are fair assessments of Oakland, but I wouldn’t describe them as reasons not to move there. Every city of similar population has similar problems.
Transfer tax interesting, is it deductible
In general, transfer taxes are not pass deductible. However, they do increase your cost basis when calculating any potential capital gains in the future. Please check with your tax advisor on your individual situation.
Oakland should be the cheapest place to live one Bay Area. Just because
Well, apparently, your OPINION doesn't impact the cost of housing in Oakland.
Prices are starting to nosedive.
Ten reasons not to move to Oakland: 1. Crime and lawlessness 2. Crime and lawlessness 3. Crime and lawlessness 4. Crime and lawlessness 5. Crime and lawlessness 6. Crime and lawlessness 7. Crime and lawlessness 8. Crime and lawlessness 9. Crime and lawlessness 10. Crime and lawlessness. I live in Oakland, in the past two years it has turned into a living and breathing shitshow.
Thanks for sharing your thoughtless, spammy comment. You're free to move from Oakland if you don't like it.
I hear you, brother. I grew up in Oakland just as poor as most people. But, I didn't use that as an excuse to commit crimes.
I left Oakland in 1976 to join the Army. Twenty years in the Army, I had a safer life than in Oakland. I have a better life in Kansas.
@SFBayAreaLiving , Thoughtless and spammy comment? It’s a legitimate comment.
I grew up in Oakland. I tore out of there like a bat out of hell soon as I turned 18, in 1978. It's the BEST decision I ever made!
I rather live in Haiti 😜😭😜😜
Wherever makes you happy.
Oakland has changed for the worst
How did it changed for the worst? Lmao
- every which way, including loose!
What do you think of Havenscourt area? 63-67th
Make sure all your insurance policies are in order💔
@patriciatoscano4169 - if you can get insurance!
This video was made a few years ago and now crime is more pervasive in Oakland. Crime has destroyed the bad neighborhoods and now it has invaded every good part of oakland.
Crime in Oakland has been on the uptick ... like many other places. In my opinion, you comment is a gross exaggeration. Thanks for stopping by, viewing and commenting.
@@RichFlemingRealtor oakland is soooo dangerous!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Wow! Some of the comments are unbelievable. I’ve lived here for over a half a century with no intention of moving. I have not experience what they describe. They are tripping, hallucinating, traveling in the wrong circles or just have bad luck.
Must be nice....there is a reason why Oakland has a busy trauma center and it ain't sprained ankles
lol. You must be the mayor lol BS. Where are you in the Berkeley, Hayward Hills?
Oakland has one of the best freeway systems of any city in America. If you were a local you would know that and how to navigate the Town. Plus it has more BART stations than and other city in the Bay Area.
I lived in Oakland for around 20 years, so spare me the "if you were local" line. I probably visit more Oakland neighborhoods in a week than you do all year. Thanks for stoping by to spread your salt.
You only need one , it’s Oakland
Thank you for stopping by and spreading your salt. You, obviously, haven't spent much time in Oakland in recent years.
Nope bud if you can afford a 1M home you can afford a 15k tax. Taxes pay for sewers and civilization.
Plenty of sewers in Oakland. Civilization - that's a whole other matter.
Idiot. $15,000 every year on top of the mortgage and maintenance means only rich people can afford to buy homes here now. Oakland charges more for infrastructure than almost anywhere and delivers worse than anywhere. But go off celebrating the same social justice insanity that is making life worse for poor and middle class people. Because you have petty envy for an imagined caricature of a rich person that doesn’t really exist
Oakland is just fine; Problem being is that multi-millionaires and billionaires are selfishly and vindictively pauperizing the city. While they may pray to Jesus for salvation, they think He’s too “woke” for their acquisitive MO.
I want a fun fact about me I was born in Oakland I live in Oakland so yeah I’m pretty mad
Only 10 lol
I will pay you $100 not to move to Oakland the most dangerous city in USA or any near by cities. I live close to this are and someone gets killed by gun violence there every single day sometime 2-3 homicide in a day. You will get get broken into maybe even stolen easily. Not to mention bullets fly in from all directions there so you never know. The city looks like a trash bin with lots and lots of homeless encampment along with lot of illegal trashing dumping everywhere. It's a true ghetto. even homes gets broke into , not to mention there is a China town in Oakland and the Asian community live in fear there since they get robbed and assaulted very often there. Just check out the Oakland news everyday and you will see. They had to change Police chief so often because there is simply no end to crime there at all. I think Mexico is safer than Oakland California these days
Homicide 2-3 times a day? Lmao really?
@djdal7769 - to use an old term, you ain't never lied!
I grew up in Oakland during the 1960s and 70s. It was horrible even then. I tore out of there like a bat out of hell soon as I turned 18. To this day, it's the best decision I ever made.
The last time I visited Oakland was in 2004. At that time, it had the atmosphere of a maximum security prison. It was dangerous to ride the bus, or even walk down the street. Now, I understand it has over 90 shantytowns, otherwise known as homeless camps. It averages about 2 carjackings a day, and one murder every 3 days. Even "nice" areas like Rockridge, Trestle Glen, and Skyline Blvd are no longer safe. The reason the big stores left is because of mass looting.
You said you'd pay people $100 to not move to Oakland - YOU should be paid $100 for warning them!
People need jobs Skip; and businesses are leaving! HTF are you making it there??
People need jobs in many locations. Hope you are living in your utopia.
You only need one it’s Oakland
Thanks for stopping by to demonstrate your ignorance on the subject.
Fool
Thanks for taking the time to stop by and comment. It helps with the algorithm! Hope you have a successful day spreading your salt everywhere you go!
