Welp, I'm never going to Detroit... but then again, I'm from Oakland.

I didn't think Oakland was that bad anymore. I've lived here all my life (Except my time in college, but I was only in Berkeley) -> http://travel.nytimes.com...2012.html?pagewanted=all

5. Oakland, Calif.
New restaurants and bars beckon amid the grit.

Tensions have cooled since violence erupted at the recent Occupy Oakland protests, but the city’s revitalized night-life scene has continued to smolder.

The historic Fox Theater reopened in 2009 and quickly cemented its status as one of the Bay Area’s top music venues, drawing acts like Wilco and the Decemberists. Meanwhile, the city’s ever more sophisticated restaurants are now being joined by upscale cocktail bars, turning once-gritty Oakland into an increasingly appealing place to be after dark. James Syhabout, the chef who earned Oakland its first (and only) Michelin star two years ago at Commis, followed up in May with the instant-hit Hawker Fare, a casual spot serving Asian street food. Big-name San Francisco chefs are now joining him. Daniel Patterson (of two-Michelin-star Coi) opened the restaurant Plum in late 2010 and an adjacent cocktail bar later, and another restaurant, called Haven, in the recently renovated Jack London Square last month.

4. Oakland, Calif.
Violent crimes per 1,000 16.8
Population 395,317
2011 murders 104
Median income $49,190
Unemployment rate 15.6%

Oakland historically has been among the most crime-ridden cities in California, with a violent crime rate this year of 16.8 per 1,000 people. There were 14 more murders in 2011 than in 2010, causing Oakland to maintain the ninth-highest murder rate in the country two years in a row. Oakland is the number one city for both robbery and motor vehicle theft rates in the country. Oakland city councilmember Desley Brooks, who wants to allocate $11 million in revenue to the police force, acknowledges the increased violent crime, saying, “we cannot ignore that we have had an increase in violent crime, and so we cannot continue to do the same thing the same way and expect that it’s going to be a different result.

Man, i honestly think most murders are from illegal activities, all the people i know (i live in Detroit) who've died were all involved in something illegal, theres an occasional innocent life taken but not any more than any other place i dont think


lmao at people saying "I'm never going to Detroit", what city other than Chicago in the midwest have any of you guys thought about visiting? let alone MI? 

like i said tho, Detroit has a very bad rap but in all seriousness its not that bad (frequent traveller)

Stockton is number 10.

Whenever I see these list, it just makes me think that some of the thought of cesspools around the country simply can't be that bad.

Just Oakland without the thousands of positives.
 
Probably going to move to Oakland in a year or 2. Im about 25min from there now.  Doesnt seem that dangerous to me. Too me North Richmond seems way more grimey.
 
Oakland isn't really as bad as people make it out to be. Of course if you hang out in East Oakland you'll be putting yourself at risk, but if you're in the Oakland Hills it's one of the nicest areas in California.

 It's a typical nice suburban area with nice houses and plazas. Perfect place to live even though it might be a little boring.

SFC415's statement should read, if you're hanging out in East or West Oakland in the wee hours of the morning, you'll be putting yourself at risk.

Little Rock used to be hardcore in the early 90's. Still got some really rough neighborhoods that's for sure.
