Ain't that the truth. Oakland makes the Mission look like El Sobrante.

That place would be like living in a ghost town. What would you do with the rest of downtown Oakland locks the doors and goes home at 6pm?

Hipsters are already all over Oakland. Oakland is to SF, as Brooklyn is to NYC.

Well hipsters are going to need somewhere to go when the market recovers and rents go through the roof. Plus Art Murmur is really cool.

Most of the new high rises in downtown SF don't appear to be doing much better. Then again, it's different if you inflate your residency numbers and refuse to drop the prices.

Yeah I walked past these the other day. They're really nice. The location is pretty central. I walked by these apartments around 11pm, and I didn't feel too unsafe.
