West Berkeley got some hood parts, word to BasedGod. South Berkeley also got some areas but nothing you have to be worried about walking through or anything just make sure to lock your doors cuz nikka will strip your whip. But east Bay Area in general>>>>> any other part of the Bay and this is coming from a Vallejo nikka.

^^^ quantity doesn't equal quality. Why would I put myself through walking around the big ass great mall, immersed in 300 stores for only 8 of them to be relevant? I'd rather have a concentration of 20 stores that I shop at among 100 shops, versus only being interested in 10 outta 300. So much of great mall is filler, plus there are better outlets in gilory and Vacaville (I'll have to check Livermore the next time I go home)

Great mall has more than enough for an average nikka looking to get fly for cheap if you have a little more money though Ill admit that Walnut Creek and Stoneridge are better.

regb ur trippin. greatmall is outlets aka the sht that doesnt sell at walnut creek and stoneridge gets shipped there. 23203920 stores but its all oldass sht that nobody wants. only store there worth the trip is nike and theres no bart access so why even mention it

and please show me people getting shot and shanked at westfield sf at the same rate as the are at southland.... all while remembering that westfield SF/union square is a major shopping/eating destination for locals and tourists. there are way more people there at any given point with less crime. southland is a turd

I was talking about fights and shoplifting which happens at westfield all the time but westfield is safer simply because it caters to a richer clientele thats less inclined to get involved in that bullshyt.

Yeah basically when you hit the numbered avenues around San Pablo like I said shyt does go down sometimes around there but nothing to be too worried about Waterfront (West Berkeley) has some sort of beef with Ice City (North Oakland) so the closer to Oakland you get the worse Berkeley gets.

Richmond oakland n vallejo are worse than chicago so what the fukk you talkin bout :what:

I live in Chicago now, nothing in either of those cities is seeing the shyt I've rolled thru from Austin to Ashland (west side of the chi). The parts of Chicago that are fukked up are damn near as big as the whole fukking city of Oakland

Na its not a war zone, there are just certain parts of cities you should stay away from

There are plenty of really nice areas in the bay area, the South Bay/Peninsula is overall pretty wealthy area.. This is the Silicon Valley where all the tech companies are located

Google, Yahoo, Ebay, Intel, IBM, LinkedIn, Facebook, Twitter Etc...

Stanford is also in the South Bay

San Francisco overall is a pretty safe city, just certain areas you should stay away from..
The bay overall has guap, one of the reasons I haven't jumped at moving back, its all too expesnsive. basically only Oakland - Hayward are "affordable", and really, the desirable parts of Oakland aren't that affordable unless you buy a home needing lots of rehab. Richmond - Hercules - Fairfield on out to sac and Pittsburg/Antioch are affordable, but they're shytty. Sf and north bay is breaded up, the real east bay like moraga, Pleasanton, Danville, walnut creek is expensive, penninsula/south bay are expensive...it's hard as hell to find a true safe, diverse (this means good representation of black people to me...not Asian and white) neighborhood outside of Oakland and Hayward.

:bryan: who gives the fukk what you think when every year oakland been top 5 in crime and richmond been top 10 almost every year this past decade and chicago aint never been top 25 in over 10 years

and before you say its because chicago got way more people you dumb bird, places like philadelphia make the top 25 list every year :flabbynsick:

I know and work with many people from chicago and none of them will ever tell you its worse than oakland or richmond especially north richmond a few years ago


oakland got 100-200 murders with 350,000 population, chicago get 350-450 murders with 2.5 million population, oakland get 300-400 rapes a year with 350,000 population, chicago get 500-700 rapes a year with 2.5 million population, oakland doubles the assault rate of chicago doubles!!, if that math dont add up in your basic bytch head thats your problem , but keep it moving out this thread with false ass bird brain logic because you heard johnny on the corner caught 15 bodies in some imaginary shoot out. what im posting is facts, its proof, its shyt that you can find in 10 seconds on google you basic bytch :pacspit:

you the type to argue 2+2 doesnt equal 4 :heh: only to go against the grain :pacspit:

richmond had the highest murder rate numerous times in the past 10 years in california the most dangerous state in america but leave it to dumb broads to come in here with horrible logic cause they see busted down sky rises talkin about "nah that aint shyt compared to chicago" :rudy:

dont get this post fukked up and act like im sayin chicago is some paradise, its fukked up over there too.. but it aint as bad as the media make it out to be.. if you listen to the media you would think stockton was worse than oakland :whoa: again.. stockton like chicago, its fukked up but really if you aint from detroit or st louis you really shouldnt be discussin worse crime than oakland :manny:

:gladbron: this broad has no idea what the fukk she talkin about :lolbron:

hercules is cheap :rudy:
sac is shytty :childplease: you can buy a mini mansion in elk grove for like $200,000 but i guess cause it aint got shiny lights like broadway in frisco its shytty :childplease:

then goes on to say asians dont make neighborhoods diverse :dead: bytch obviously never been to fairfield, vallejo, pinole, hercules, daly city, san mateo, or san jose

fairfield and vallejo got them nice big houses for the low and its right in between sac and frisco, can get to either one in 30-45 minutes but i guess living in a nice community in a nice big house for some of the best prices (at least for california standards) is shytty :aicmon:

Oakland

you work with and know ppl from chicago, I've lived in both, there is a clear difference...as for everything else, nikka, shut the fukk up :what:

and holla at me when you understand how statistics like those are compiled. No one even got into the population argument, but it is a factor, you named Philly (another city I lived in) whose population is almost 1/2 that of Chicago, look at most the top cities for violent crime and their population is under 600k...I won't go further

holla when you can have a discussion without being a little ho, especially when 90% of your response is :trash:

Swear talking to these know everything but ain't never lived a day outside of the area they were born ass nikkas don't know shyt...don't talk ny, Philly, dc, Cincinnati, Chicago, or the bay to me unless you've actually lived in these spots and can make a real comparison, not simply what's on "paper"

edit: and I'm not going back & forth on what city is worse, that's not the point of this thread

dora the destroyer is right tho
hercules (by bay area standards) is cheap... even in the dirtiest places in hayward u wont find houses as cheap as u will in the pinole/hercules/rodeo area.
and sacramento is shytty... what are you comparing sacramento to... if you compare it to SF and the bay area in general yes it is shytty.. nightlife, attractions, food, things to do/see etc its not close. if you compare it to barstow then yes sacramento is like heaven. i have family all over the sacramento area, from davis to sac to elk grove. sht is dead up there compared to the bay area. its like comparing bakersfield to l.a

that's why i said by bay area standards. 200k is prices we havent seen in 15+ years.. those 200k houses were upwards of 700-800k as recently as 2008. and be real who the fck wants to live in antioch fairfield or vallejo.. i work in silicon valley, even living a place like hercules would be a btch to commute, cant imagine having to drive from vallejo or fairfield :sadcam:
old people might be comfortable livin in antioch where its dead and everyone's like 78 but im young im trying to be around young people and a diverse group of people. bay area >>>

my brother works in silicon valley lives in milpitas :whew: at the fukking cost of his condo. the houses he be looking at :whoo: 800k in this market for regular ass houses that youd find in pittsburgh :wow:

commuting wouldnt even be that bad if they opened more of those 2 lane freeways (never understood the point of 2 lane free/highways :mindblown: ) and was less strict on car pool lane shyt

how you in 1 city and car pool lane rules is 2 people in the car, and get in the next city the car pool lanes is 3 people required in the car :dwillhuh:

bay area in general is getting too damn expensive... even fukkass fremont has 1 bedroom apartments for 1800 :deadmanny:

in santa clara you're LOW INCOME if you make under 75k :comeon:

only SF should be that expensive. everywhere else in the bay should have 800$ rent and houses should cost 300k or less. charging SF/LA prices to live in some fukkboy suburb half hour from the city. aint that some sht
