where did they live? probably some sketchy part of west oakland where out-of-towners like to move because it's so grungy. you won't get robbed in piedmont, rockridge, montclair, temescal, grand lake usually, or JLS ever. but please keep upvoting this to the top! our rents are already going up because of SF spillover, feel free to avoid it and those of us in the know will keep enjoying our lives in the east bay with no complaints.
- cpeterso 13y agoRockridge and Piedmont have crime, too. I live in Rockridge and follow the crime watch mailing lists. People get mugged in broad daylight at the BART station and just a couple years ago was a rash of restaurant "take-over" robberies. Crime follows the money.
- liveinoakland 13y agoMugged in broad daylight at Rockridge BART? I'm sorry I just don't believe this.
- cpeterso 13y agoHere's a list of recent Rockridge crimes, including a 5:15 PM robbery in front of Cactus Taqueria: http://spotcrime.com/ca/oakland/rockridge http://spotcrime.com/ca/oakland/rockridge

Loving my own apartment, but wishing more and more I had searched harder for a place near the walkable parts of Grand Ave or Piedmont Ave.
