Landlords are trying not to rent to startups in San Francisco

I live in West Oakland and the favorite game is still "fireworks or gunshots". Its a great place to live if you're in your 20s, but I wouldn't want to move my family here. Maybe up by Berkeley is better?

Huh, that's funny, because West Oakland is mostly families and they are fighting for their lives to stay in their neighborhood due to pressure from people like you.

P.S. if you're scared, move.

Not scared! Most of the families I've talked to around my neighborhood want to move out to a better / safer place. Could just be my specific block though.

I have lived in West Oakland and currently live in Adam's Point (both in Oakland's borders) and it feels like an entirely different city.

Ah yeah, I can see why! But I'm a cheapo startup founder. My safety for a thousand bucks a month? Sure I'll give it up!
