Laz, Although Oakland has become a synonym for abject poverty and rampant crime, I know you know that Oakland is home to a whole 'nother populace and to housing costs which rival Palo Alto, et al. Oakland is home to prestigious medical centers and to Mills College. The architect Julia Morgan did much of her work in Oakland. I could go on in this vein.
