I live in West Oakland and the favorite game is still "fireworks or gunshots". Its a great place to live if you're in your 20s, but I wouldn't want to move my family here. Maybe up by Berkeley is better?
- some-guy 11y agoI have lived in West Oakland and currently live in Adam's Point (both in Oakland's borders) and it feels like an entirely different city.
- jtfairbank 11y agoAh yeah, I can see why! But I'm a cheapo startup founder. My safety for a thousand bucks a month? Sure I'll give it up!
- beatpanda 11y agoHuh, that's funny, because West Oakland is mostly families and they are fighting for their lives to stay in their neighborhood due to pressure from people like you. P.S. if you're scared, move.
- jtfairbank 11y agoNot scared! Most of the families I've talked to around my neighborhood want to move out to a better / safer place. Could just be my specific block though.
