    As you likely know, its a very small place, mostly industrial, commercial, large box retail, with a few large apartment complexes. The worst of it, all the tracks with trains running all hours of the day and night, making noise and shaking the ground.

    Before deciding on Alameda (Shoreline Drive), the only place in Emeryville I considered living were the condos off of Powell and Commodore, near Trader Vics restaurant.
    My bad, I was living in the Dogpatch in SF around 2012 so that time frame. I remember Emeryville was where you hung out to fuck around if it wasn't Oakland.

    Also I just went on google maps for west Oakland and they gentrified the HELL out of it near 880 in Prescott area. Clearly I need to visit the Bay Area again.

        (I guess I could do that at the Jersey Shore but ugh, not into that whole Sopranos scene.)

            Sorry not hating - I also have a home in New Jersey and the property taxes here are killer.

            But honestly, anything above SF - especially the Sacromento area - is probably the 'safest' cleanest part of the State, so close to oregon etc.

            I'm glad you love where you live and you find it awesome. My experience with CA is more in the LA-to-SF corridor. California really should be split into two States since southern and northern are so very different.
            Born and raised in NJ. Never ever moving back. Fuck that. It's cold in the winter and hot and humid in the summer. If you are into winter stuff then that's great. If I suddenly want to see snow or go skiing I can drive an hour up the mountain. I will admit, however, that NJ is beautiful once out of Newark, etc.

            And that area between LA and SF... We don't talk about that area. It's nasty.

                    And I just had to use ChatGPT to figure out where exactly Dogpatch is. LOL.
                    When I was living in Alameda, about once a month, I’d take the ferry across the Bay and head into the Financial District.

                    There are definitely pockets of improvement in Oakland, for better or worse. It’s sad, though, because if you peel back the mess, the ineffective police, the homeless encampments, the trash, the burned-out and stripped-down cars, you see that Oakland is actually a great city.

                    I’m no longer in Alameda, but the tunnel and bridges that separated it from Oakland really did make it feel like a different world.

                    Take care.

                                                            No one actually lives in LA. They move to LA, then say something like "oh heh yea i went to a BETTER place" 7 years later when you find out they burned out on the highly competitive LA lifestyle which is actually just an extension of the post-modern late stage capitalism game.

                                                            In summary, i have no idea what im talking about.
