Moving to Oakland with kids -good idea?

OK so Poverty rate is 1.4%, which is pretty low. The unemployment rate is 3.4%, which is pretty low. Homes are going for about $567,200 on average. Night life is decent if you know the right spots. Cost of living is definitely rising, but still manageable. The school system varies a lot by neighborhood. What neighborhoods would you suggest? Thanks for reading. The weather takes some getting used to. It's changing fast -some good, some not so much. The suburbs are where most families end up. Public transit needs a lot of work honestly.
