At least 30% of chuds probably don’t know that Oakland exists
SF and Palo Alto/San Mateo area are where all the techbros live so that’s where the crime wave copaganda stories are aimed towards (techbros eat that shit up)
Oakland has got to be one of my favorite cities in the USA. Tons of radicalism, great food, cool people, fun music scene, somewhat bikeable (public transit not bad by American standards, could still use a lot of love), open space pretty accessible. And just enough of a reputation for crime to keep our some of the worst tech, ngo etc types.
Disclaimer: I have worked and visited the city extensively،but never lived there. This post is mostly aspirational, if I didn’t live where I live, I would want to live in Oakland probably
The radicalism is pretty strong, never seen so many mutual aid projects happening in a city at once and I’ve met so many people who just grew up radicalized cause they learned about the BPP and met previous members in their community as a child
New York City
San Francisco
It’s funny how SF gets so much smoke when Oakland is right beside it and has infinitely more violent crimes, gang activity, and far left activism

As far as they’re concerned, Oakland stopped existing when the Raiders moved to Las Vegas.
They’re still the Oakland Raiders in my head canon. Cope and seethe, Vegas, but “Las Vegas Raiders” is fake news

To be fair they probably just include Oakland as part of SF
