What about west Oakland?

Are these the high violent crime areas? Or where the shooting are. Six people were just shot in Lakeshore area.

Oakland had 29 murders a year know it's 140 a year old stay in Marin.

Thanks for the compliment!

same he makes seem like its not that bad lol

@@lightyagami7991 it really isn’t

Thanks for stopping by the channel.

Thanks for watching and sharing.

Thanks for the update. I heard they were planning to move, but didn't know if it had happened.

The price in Oakland can vary DRAMATICALLY in Oakland ... it may be pushing $1 million

Thanks for watching! Rockridge does have some renting options ... it's just a tough neighborhood to get rentals in. Probably the most popular neighborhood to rent in, and really only mom and pop rentals available. Add in rent control and you just don't have a lot of availability in Rockridge. Let me know if you have questions.

I like Millsmont! Kind of a tucked away area with some cute homes. It's really picking up in popularity like Maxwell Park did around 5 years ago. I have a potential client selling a home in Millsmont in the next couple of months. Let me know if you have any questions or need assistance. reach me at 925.386.2999.

Probably $1,100 or so.

Like most cities, it's got it's good areas and challenging ones. But, if you only listen to the news, you'd think all of Oakland is a war zone. The news focuses on the bad, because the good is boring and doesn't attract viewers. Thanks for watching!

It's definitely changing.

Thanks for watching! People's experiences with Oakland schools can vary dramatically depending on the school and your child's needs. I always encourage people to do research on the specific school and special programs offered by the district. I probably won't be able to do video specifically on school for a couple of reasons: 1) I'm not an expert on education and don't want to steer people wrong on this service; 2) Because I'm a licensed real estate agent, I have to be wary of giving information that may steer people. Saying "these are the good schools and these are the bad ones" isn't something I can do. If you have any questions, drop me a text at 925.386.2999.

Toler Heights is a pretty safe area. Not the best, but definitely not the worst. Safety becomes more of a concern as you get southwest of International Blvd. I'd feel okay with a family member living there.

What neighborhoods would you suggest?

Unfortunately, car break-ins are a big problem ... as they are in SF. Uptown is FAR from the only neighborhood facing this challenge.

Don't live in Oakland hills. The fire will coming again. No government agency will help you. No fireman can save you

@@janjohannessmith7033 thanks I'll keep that in mind I'll look into it

then make sure you research a lot more then this guy, try joing a oakland group on Facebook, get the real Oakland. If you do come do not leave anything in a rental car, they will steal the car they know if its a rental. never leave anything in a uhaul, ever. dont leave anything in your car downtown, stay above Macarthur and if the front yards are all fence you dont want to be there.

be care ful anywhere in the flat areas is scary. try Alameda or San Leandro. much safer oakland is fun to visit, not live,

@@donnagatts8890 thanks Donna I will use this advice kindly. Thanks💕:) I do know about the car thefts out there

Omar! Sorry for the delay in responding. If you still have questions, let's talk offine. Reach out to me at 925.386.2999.

Would would you like to know? Bushrod is a great neighborhood! Gives you the benefits of living in Berkeley AND the North Oakland area. Close to Berkeley Bowl. Housing is somewhat less expensive than many surrounding neighborhoods. Biggest drawback, in my opinion, is BART runs on elevated tracks along MLK Jr Way and can be heard throughout the neighborhood. Bushrod is on my list of videos to make. Thanks for watching and commenting.

@@RichFlemingRealtor Thanks so much! Looking forward to your video

Actually, Fenton's is on Piedmont Ave. in the city of Oakland. Thanks for stopping by and watching the video!

then stay out of oakland! Oakland is not the American experience its about people struggling. and crime they have homeless living along the major freeways! and trust me you are alone in Oakland dont expect help ever!!!

Thanks for stopping buy and sharing. I hope the utopia you live in is fairing well.

Thanks for sharing your memories of Oakland.

What makes you say that? Temescal is great.

Piedmont Ave is different from the city of Piedmont.

Doug, thanks for sharing. You are correct shootings and murders are up in Oakland this year ... as shootings and murders are up in just about every major city in the country. You are also doing a comparison of the pandemic year to a year of coming out of the pandemic. I'm not anti-cop, but they don't prevent crime ... they respond to it. More police does not get to the root causes of crime. Which editorial are you referring to?

@@RichFlemingRealtor Don't know of any other city where shooting are up 77% or have had more than six mass shooting this year. Editorial is in the East Bay Times www.mercurynews.com/2021/06/24/editorial-its-a-shooting-gallery-in-oakland-more-cops-are-needed/ And in related article "Oakland City Council slashes $18 million from police budget" I agree more police are not the answer especially when find out a FEW OPD offices are the criminals. www.smdailyjournal.com/news/world/oakland-struggles-with-the-riders-police-scandal/article_32ab3b2e-7817-5d72-b693-b2e4854b8a47.html And this is just one case of many in OPDs history. It's hard to want to live in a city where the chances of being a violent crime victim are 1 in 13. I've been a victim several times including by an off duty OPD officer. He was disciplined when he should have been fired.

@@dougspindler4947 ... so you claim to be a repeat victim of crime in Oakland, including by a OPD officer, yet you didn't stop visiting?!?! I've lived in Oakland, on and off for 30 years, and continuously for the last 11. I've never been a victim of violent crime. Could it happen? Yes. But, maybe YOU play a role in your experiences ... I mean YOU are the one common factor in all of those negative events. Yes, shootings are up 77% in Oakland and they are up 73% nationally. Do you know where else shooting are up dramatically? Primary and secondary schools throughout the country. Mass shootings are up across the country. Oakland is experience the same challenges that the rest of the country is experiencing, so your attempt to characterize Oakland as being exceptional bad are patently FALSE! www.insider.com/mass-shootings-increased-in-2021-gun-violence-experts-cite-contagion-effect2021-4 Without question, Oakland has its challenges ... just like every other city. But, there is WAY more good things going on here than bad things! If you don't like Oakland, that's your choice ... don't live or visit here. But, please go grind your axe somewhere else.

@@RichFlemingRealtor Why not tell people the whole story about Oakland in your videos? Violent crime and shooting is way above the national average. Hate crime in Oakland is on the rise. Gangs and gang violence is on the rise. Oakland schools are some of the worst in the country. Property taxes and transfer taxes in Oakland are some of highest in the state. And now the city is making property owners responsible for the sidewalks. Why not tell people to buy one city over where the could use all of that money they have to pay taxes to buy a better house. Just say houses in Oakland can be purchased for $90,000 in some neighborhoods. As much as I like Oakland you are the first person who has said they were not a crime victim. Did you see the guy who has been promoting non-violence in Oakland just moved saying Oakland is unsafe and too violent these days.

* @Doug Spindler ... I'm the FIRST person not to be victim of violent crime in Oakland?!?! Once, again, maybe YOU should change who you hang out with! Hysterical! YOU and the people you associate with are the common denominator in these bad outcomes! I never claim Oakland is crime free nor doesn't have its challenges. But, there is WAY more good than bad in Oakland. Oh, and the city next door, Berkeley has higher transfer taxes than Oakland. Many of the other neighboring cities have transfer taxes that are nearly as high. *If you don't like the content on my channel, you are free to start your own channel to share YOUR version of what Oakland is like!* I don't mind criticism or different views about my content, but if you continue your trolling ways, I'll ban you from the channel and you'll have spread you salt somewhere else.

I never hear about the good Black or Latin Oakland neighborhoods, can you name a few ?

@@ontarionagasaki1441 First of all never say never. Second, if you were out here you would know that East Oakland is a mixture of Black, Hispanic and Asian people not enough room for one race one area. The good neighborhoods are starting with Fruitvale, Diamond and Laurel, Melrose, Millsmont, Ivy Hill, and all around Lake Merritt. North Oakland is more black and white. But black people are in the neighborhoods of Bushrod, Golden Gate, North Pole(near the border), Mosswood, Santa Fe, and Temescal. And West Oakland you have certain areas of Dogtown, Ghost town and Lower Bottoms. A lot has been cleaned up in the last decade with rehabbing the neighborhoods. And shootings happen all over Oakland that goes for the the White neighborhoods too.

Thanks for taking the time to stop by and comment. It helps with the algorithm! Hope you have a successful day spreading your salt everywhere you go!

You're entitled to your uninformed opinion.

Thanks for stopping by to share your uninformed opinion. Your ignorance of Oakland is on full display.

Is creating a Korean town and making the city friendly for Latinos and gays a bad thing?
