There's an ongoing gentrification of Oakland as tech companies move into San Francisco.

All those tech workers are doing the commute from Oakland and the city is improving.
 
what they should do is roll up with 1 police cruiser...take a few bottles.

then roll in with another 20-30 cruisers and jail all of those assholes.

That's such a load of shit and you know it. Everyone who has half a brain and reads the news would rather commute from anywhere south than fucking commute to the deathtrap that is Oakland. I've pass going to Warrior's games because I don't even want to be near Oakland at 11PM. Do you even live in the Bay Area saying shit like that, fyi? Gentrification of Oakland.........when it's been sliding downhill for years..........thanks for the laugh.

EDIT: Quoted from "Gentrification article":

Oakland experienced a 30 percent decrease in homicides in 2013 compared to the previous year, with nearly 40 fewer killings. This marks the lowest homicide count in Oakland since 2004.”

That is quite a drop and quite an improvement but Oakland is a physically large city, approximately 78 square miles, and most crime is concentrated in certain areas and not representative of The Town as a whole.


Yeah, see? Gentrification of a few places like Merrit are hardly things to be beating the "NEW ERA OF OAKLAND" drums. As someone who has lived in the Bay Area for his entire life I still feel oakland is one of the sketchiest places on the west coast.
