  2. To be fare, Oakland isnt 100% bad. It's more like LA, there's really bad areas, but there's also pretty nice areas. And i'd rather live in OAK town than freaking Oklahoma where the weather is so unpredictable and one day it could be 101 degrees and the next it'd be 42. Having lived in both areas, Santa Rosa (30 mins north of San Fran) and OKC (few hours south of Tulsa), the easy choice is Oakland for me.
