Review of Oakland, California

Oakland, CA
Star Rating - 7/12/2006
Close to San Francisco, but without as much fog. A lot of diversity in terms of ethnicity and economics. Houses are very expensive; public schools are poor at the high school level. Close to some of the most beautiful scenery in the country, and lots of outdoor, fun recreational activities.
