I live on the "urban frontier" in Oakland (east side of Lake Merritt) and it's pretty nice, I don't feel endangered at all. South of me there's just huge swaths of residential and commercial land that can be developed - and I think will be developed. The main problem is that there are not enough professional/middle class people living there now. But once some move in, more will follow (as has happened in other parts of Oakland). My point is that the Bay Area has quite a bit of capacity for further development once you step out of SF.
