I don't know enough about Oakland to form a valid opinion. Just what I've seen on tv and online. I would visit it over cities like Baltimore and St Louis tho. I know it's notorious for its pimping and hustling history. Not too sure about the crime but I do know there's some black and Mexican gangs over there but I don't think on the same level as LA. What's the food scene like out there? What about the interesting places to visit? I'm sure Oakland got some and not just SF. Weather doesn't look too bad. Don't know about living there but I imagine it's cheaper than SF and a lot of people may live in Oakland and commute, especially to jobs in Silicon Valley. Would a week-long trip to the bay area cover a decent amount of what there is to do out there?

Oakland has always been the heart of the black, afro, afro-Carribean, and African culture in the bay area.

More black solidarity, outlets to get money, and networking has dropped the crime rate in the black community over the past 7 years.

Club scenes are predominately black.

You can easily find unique restaurants from a variety of African cultures.

The weather's warmer than SF not as hot as Sacramento.

9/10
