A fork of Rural Dictionary
A city in the East San Francisco Bay Area. It has gorgeous weather, exceptionally high crime and can't seem to keep its sports teams. The Warriors left back to San Francisco after a 47 year run in Oakland. The Raiders, although forever associated with the bay area, got fed up with Oakland's shit and they left for Las Vegas, were the benefits and fan base were more enticing. They built a nice stadium (the rideshare thing is dumb, because not everyone wants to take Uber or Lyft to a football game or music concert) right next to the strip. So, you get football (or a concert), gambling, casinos, restaurants, buffets and all other sorts of things. Oakland dropped the ball (pun intended). Their only team left is the Oakland A's, and even they are considering leaving for Las Vegas since Oakland can't or won't build a new stadium. The city is also rife with homelessness, since the cost of living in the San Francisco Bay area is disgustingly high. Under the over passes of Interstate 880, one can find entire homeless cities.
Oakland, that one city that can be seen across the bay from San Francisco...
One of the most overlooked city's in America. The crime there is pretty overrated. Of course their is a lot of crime, but you shouldn't worry about being shot when you walk down the street. Whenever I tell people that I lived in Oakland their first reaction is always that I'm ghetto. You should check out Lake Merrit, The Cleveland Steps, Jack London Square, and the beaches in Alameda, Chabot space and science center, middle harbor shoreline park, butters drive, and Grizzly Peak.
Damn I'm starting to like Oakland more than San Francisco.
my hometown,packed with Chicanos and OGs riding their box chevys while the system plays any CD from Too $hort the hometown of drug deals,prostitution,car jackings,hustlers,pimps,convicts,crime scene tape,chalk outlines,shell casings,and proud ass Raider fans damn,i love oakland
A city in northern California. Though it isn't my personal home soil, I have been there and am officially declaring it the 3rd most dangerous ghetto in America. Do not enter Oakland, California unless you have the intentions of getting shot or making a drop.
Oakland is THE hood.
NOT just a gehtto. Do dare to enter. Oakland has tons of hella nice areas. Rockridge, Clarmont, Downtown, Uptown, Grand Ave., The Oakland hills, and North Oakland are all really awsome. The topagraphy is beautiful too and it is right next to Berkeley which is hella cool and right across the bay from San Francisco. So when someone tells you that oakland is just a huge ghetto, they're wrong.
Me "Hey dude wana just chill out in Pleasanton." Justus: "Hell no lets go to rockridge in oakland and bomb some hills and eat bagels."
town that everyone disses but everyone is also too much of a fucking scared ass punk to say anything to anyone that is a fan of the raider nation. maybe because the silver and black will kick their lame ass.
<fag> man, oakland is a dump. <raider fan> what was that? <fag> shit, nothing.
