Anyone else love living in Oakland?
First post here. Median household income is $162,862, which feels pretty solid for the area. What would you do?

From a safety perspective, it really depends on the area. Some neighborhoods are hit or miss, others not so much. Do your research on specific streets.

OK so I've been meaning to write this for a while. I moved here 8 years ago from Atlanta and here's my honest breakdown:
Housing: It's gotten pricier but still beats the coasts. We're paying /mo for a 3-bed in Pine Hills. It's tough for what you get.
Jobs: The market is growing right now, especially in finance. If you're in consulting you might struggle.
People: Generally challenging. It took about 12 months to build a solid friend group.
Food: average. Tons of options if you like Asian.
Feel free to reach out with questions..
