Like many before him, he thought he could stay, not feed same said hood
and expect to live in peace with his money in a hungry hood.

Not happening. Better men than him tried and failed

Oakland can be depressing, but that's mostly in EAST OAKLAND. The city has a lot more to offer, you just have to branch out. Bay Area is beautiful

Oakland isn't that bad. A good 85% of the violence is concentrated in select hoods in West Oakland and from about 60th-98th and below MacArthur (really Bancroft). Yea if you flashing money in the hood or you're trying to get down with that life, you're going to find yourself in some shyt, but there's so much more to Oakland that's worth serving (i.e. having a real mall/shopping district, teams, etc.) Unless you live in the neighborhoods or are involved with those type of people, there's really no reason for you to come in contact with those areas and you're free to live your life - Oakland aint some depressed shythole like Camden, Detroit, or Cleveland. And these half ass, low budget "documentaries" don't do anything but help glorify that life.

Oakland is one of the WORST cities in America. 131 murders in 2012 and its not that bad? buggin bro. The only reason why West Oakland is better off than East Oakland is because they lockin up a ton of niccas (MAC from Acorn got 48 years), and white folks who cannot afford to live in SF are moving into West Oakland and gentrifying the area, so there is more of a PD presence. It has a history of violence, especially homicides, and it's not getting any better. East Oakland is a SLUM that's on it's way to hell. It is depressed, on par with Camden, Detroit, Cleveland, if not worse. That's why it is usually ranked either ahead or behind them yearly in the FBI reports. If a nicca tellin me East Side O isn't depressing or a SLUM, you kiddin yourself. SF has its share of problems, but it is a WORLD CLASS CITY.

oaklands a rough city, i had a few partners from up there. def battled tested veterans coming from that fkin warzone.

poverty n crime will probably never go away, itll just change locations. if oakland ever improves, sadly, it'll be thru gentrification and white movement into the city. the poor mexican n black minorities will b pushed out, and their problems will jus migrate to another area.
