    "I love living here, very close to SF and west oakland bart. Don't look for trouble and it won't find you. Go home at night, and lock your doors, and you'll be safe. Not a lot going on here, no real restaurants, or coffee places. However, you can just go to SF in less than 10 mins. No need to pay SF jacked prices, when West Oakland will do just fine. "

    "It’s a beautiful neighborhood, of much historic importance. The black panthers originated the nationwide school lunch and breakfast program and were founded in West Oakland."

    "I've lived here for 1 year and it is not an easy place to live. I don't walk anywhere at night because of street gangs. No where close by to eat or grocery shop. Lots of people giving you looks when you walk around."

    "The neighborhood features beautiful old Victorian houses. The streets are lined with flowering trees and gardens that make for a quiet neighborhood vibe. It has a rough history, and that is still present in some areas."
