I didn't move to Oakland to sample its charms and pretend I'm a pioneer. I moved to Oakland because my wife and I found a house we could afford there. Now, I work in tech, and she makes nearly as much as I do, and a house in north Oakland was what our monthly budget could shoulder safely. And the house we bought had been vacant for some time, and before that, it was a rental with a very hands-off landlord, so our neighbors who are native to the neighborhood are glad we're maintaining and improving the house.Rhett Aultmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16127221504319330630noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6216910.post-1067895953965257182013-06-18T07:55:00.382-07:002013-06-18T07:55:00.382-07:00I agree with your post, and I think these stats ar...I agree with your post, and I think these stats are Relevant To Your Interests. http://thefrontsteps.com/2013/06/03/san-franciscos-gender-sexual-preference-income-ethnicity-marital-status-and-more/<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
