Pros and Cons of Moving to Oakland, CA

Published April 2, 2013

Well known as San Francisco’s dingy little brother, Oakland, CA, is turning some of its negative qualities into positives.  For example, rents in Oakland are a fraction of the price of those across the bay, and its graffitioid culture has become an artform all its own. That being said, Oakland still suffers from high-crime neighborhoods.

But high crime simply cannot hurt Oakland’s current momentum. The best thing to do in Oakland is watch the sun fall behind the bay from Beer Revolution’s sunny patio, then head into the heart of the city, preferably on a First Friday Art Murmur night, so you can gawk at the local art.
