Am I crazy to think Oakland won't be affected nearly as much as SF? We never had much of a boom, and I don't think conditions have deteriorated nearly as much.

We never had much of a boom, and I don't think conditions have deteriorated nearly as much. In part because they were never great to begin with :)
- diogenescynic 3y agoI wouldn't count on that. It's anecdotal, but I used to occasionally visit Oakland and now I avoid it entirely. I see way too many violent crimes in the news and it's just not worth it. There's nothing in Oakland I can't do somewhere else and feel safer.
- BurningFrog 3y agoAll true, but I think Oakland has always had this kind of reputation, while SF only recently fell into it. So I think that's been "priced in" for a long time. My part of Oakland is quite safe, though we have some minor homeless camps.
