    West Oakland has amazing weather and laid back vibe.. It's literally the first exit off the bridge from SF.. Looks like it's about to do a "Brooklyn".

    The neighborhood should be overlooked! It's a hot mess.

    It's all about money or lack of it. If you are not behind on your taxes, own your home, have savings and other assets, and live debt free no one can come in and move you out easily. Broke people needing money badly are prey to those with money who want their property. America is about wealth period. If you are poor it will treat you unkindly.

    When I lived on 9th and Oak, the best food you could find was hotdogs at a liquor store.
    I was pretty happy with myself doing a boardslide on that entire round rail.

    2018 update, hippsters have priced themselves out of west and north Oakland the neighborhood is going to crap again. In fact they made it worse the homeless population has doubled.

      Roman Loya - apparently so. I understand 2 bedroom 1 bath bungalows in East Oakland (which has an even worse reputation) are selling for $400,000, yet it's so dangerous you have to carry a gun with you in the daytime, and you can't go out at night. Gentrification does not seem to be working in Oakland.

    • @kinshayshafra6842
      @kinshayshafra6842 6 років тому +1

      A A Q it is working. This why the higher rent/selling goes. The higher crime will go up. Cause they have to sell even more dope/rob more people/ just to stay there. Unless they don't mind moving to the valley like most do/did. And cops aren't gonna babysit the hard working man and protect him. So you protect yourself and either get in a jam and catch a case. Or get killed. Either way. They'll weed folks out.

      @ brut 20
      "Hipsterfied?" No, it's moved up to straight yuppie-fied. It's always the same pattern: the Punx and weirdos find affordable living space where the neighbors don't mind you making noise. Then the hipsters start trickling in (with their trust fund money), and demanding organic free-range coffee, and jack up the rental costs. Then the yuppies pour in, when (at least in West Oakland) they can afford to own a Victorian house that just needs some major TLC.... And There Goes The Neighborhood.

    I live in a mostly white community where immigrants came from norway and sweden and built this culture of hard work, family and community spirit and now the blacks from Chicago,Detroit,Milwaukee are moving here for the good welfare systems and they DON'T GIVE A DAM about our culture " Their words" This is a small town and they tend to want to stay inside or sit on the porch, but there is trash in front of their places and the kids are running all over the place screaming and the adults are talking that trash i CALL IT TALKING SIDEWAYS, WHAT SHOULD WE DO I ASK YOU OUT THERE?.

    Send back the caravans to their homelands, and give those Emigration Centers to the homeless. It’s no fair that while people from here are living on such horrible conditions, the emigrants are living very comfortable, at no cost to them.
