? It’s just a run of the mill canon r8 mirrorless camera with a 28mm prime lens attached to it

Yea thats what I mean. You don’t have a big SLR camera because you’re using a pancake lens

Anyways is the public transport/walking possible around Oakland or do you need a car?

The buses are kinda janky, bart is ok but not great. You’d be best off renting a car with uber being the second best option.

You mean Bart from fruitville station movie?

They haven’t made that better by now? So basically it’s not a tourist friendly place :yeshrug:


And you gotta spend a lot of money to get around :unimpressed:

I’m going to the Bay for NBA All-Star weekend on a boys trip type shyt.

Is Oakland worth going into? I’ll be there for 3 days.
takes me back to the NBA finals some years ago between GSW and Cleveland. the ESPN crew went to In N Out on Hegenberger for some grubb, came out and them fools broke in the ESPN van and stole all the equipment. that place has since shut down.

ive missed back home and often thought about moving back but there is literally no reason. oakland needs a vigilante or some shyt :laugh:

I kinda see why warriors left Oakland now. So where are all the NBA all star events taking place this year

Oakland seems too risky to hold a major event. Although I bet they’ll have someone like Ant or Ja do a meet and greet in the hood

them leaving had nothing to do with crime, but the higher valuation for the team. average folks cant afford the tickets now. what pissed me off though was no parade for east oakland where they played at. downtown, ok cool. no quarrels with that. but come back to the hood and have a parade for the community where u won 3 of those titles.

Has the crime slowed up?

Vibe definitely is off every time i come out here these days. I’ve never been one to be shook but i was definitely singing, “I hope my ride dont get bipped while parked in oakland.. while parked in oakland”

Heavy hipster and fentanyl energy is how it feels, absent of any soul and pride like the yesteryears of the 80s and 90s.

What’s the demographics like in Oakland compared to the new area they moved to?

Y’all make it seem like Oakland is Detroit or something

Or is it basically like LA Mexicans and Blacks?

When you get outside of Oakland it basically becomes gentrified like Brooklyn

not outside, the city has experienced gentrification. mainly in west oakland. the demographics in the new area compared to the former? the coliseum complex (oracle and oakland coliseum) was in an area populated primarily by working class blacks and mexicans. its basically in my old church backyard. the As, Raiders and Warriors all shared that space.

where the chase arena is, well put it like this. compare the east oakland valuation to the current valuation and there's your answer.
