I am also kind of sad that the Warriors moved

[@AirWorthyTours]

True, but at least they just moved across the Bay. As opposed to what the Raiders did.

[@diosaesme]

I saw my House

[@saonedixon5476]

Wasn't Oakland majority black in the 90s Atleast thats what I thought. I'm from Georgia and my favorite rappers or from Oakland.

[@AirWorthyTours]

Most likely, I believe the demographics chart in the video was from the 2020 census.

[@jordanjohnson9866]

The Raiders and Warriors left Oakland. /

Very hip town. Great restaurants, truly cutting edge culinary scene--from Latin European (French, Italian, Spanish) to African (Ethiopian, Nigerian, etc.), to Asian (Thai, Vietnamese, Chinese, Indian, Japanese, etc.), Latinx (Mexican, Chilean, Dominican, etc..), Caribbean (Jamaican, Dominican, etc.)--and don't get me started on the Town's new-American and fusion (French/Soul; Soul-Vegan, Irish-English, Afro-Caribbean, Palestinian-Mediterranean, Afro-French, French-Asian, etc.,etc.); from mad-creative food trucks to Michelin-starred foodie meccas: The Town KNOWS how to cook and make art, using cuisine to reflect the Town's intertwined diversity--African-Asian VP Kamala Harris is the Town's daughter--and the Town's history of Fall and Rise. For such an "urban" city, The Town has beautiful open spaces--lakes, actual redwood forests, hillside parks, beaches, tidal marshes, all within the city limits. And the Town has more than a few beautiful neighborhoods as well as the "Mean Streets." The wealthy hillside areas of Oakland -- and there are many-- are far more diverse racially, ethnically, (but not class wise, obviously), than their wealthy counterpart neighborhoods anywhere in the United States. And those wealthy neighborhoods have stunning, architecturally significant homes in a diverse--there's that word again--range of styles. Oaktown is THE hipster mecca of America, but it is a hipster community far, far more diverse than that of its most obvious counterpart in Brooklyn, or anywhere else in America. Musically, Oakland has produced some of the most prescient, game-changing musical artists over the past sixty years, a music centre clearly a rival to San Francisco's psychedelic sixties music scene. But whereas San Francisco's legendary 1960s music scene pretty much became a museum piece after 1971, Oakland's arguably far more diverse (again) and longer-lasting scene has extended to and anticipated the twenty-first century in ways that San Francisco's music demimonde never could, never would, and never did. The facts --and the diverse (again, that word) range of Oakland musical artists and their styles and their innovativeness speaks for itself. Violà, a partial list: Sly and the Family Stone, Tower of Power, Pointer Sisters, Creedence Clearwater Revival, En Vogue, Tupac Shakur, Green Day, Fabulous Negrito, the list of iconic artists goes on and on. Until recently, I lived in Manhattan, NYC. Brooklyn was once a rejected step-sister to Manhattan. And then it wasn't; Brooklyn became far hipper than merely rich Manhattan, but just as expensive (Gentrification and its Discontents). Oakland is often called, "Brooklyn by the Bay," most notably by, what else, the NYTimes. But Oakland, I think, is just as distinct as Brooklyn, not a mirror image of it. And given that Oakland is smaller and less populous but has nonetheless exercised such outsize influence in American culture -- demonized by racist White America by dint of the Town's large Black and brown population, celebrated (fetishized?) by woke-ish America in recent years by dint (sigh) of the Town's large and Black population--Oakland is the Town of both novelist Michael Chabon's loving, knowing satire of gentrifying Oakland (Telegraph Avenue) and Tommy Orange's startlingly haunting and haunted Oakland of wild contradictions (There, There). And talk about literary history--Amy Tang, Michael Chabon, Tommy Orange, Jack London, Maya Angelou, HELLO??? I now live in San Francisco, once the boho, activist centre of America. San Francisco is merely rich and beautiful now. But the boho, activist centre of America is alive and well. Her name is Oakland. Respect, Mademoiselle Oaktown, always. Love? Oh, yeah, babe. You're all that...and so, so, "THERE."

Great analysis!

Not which were. Oakland still has the Athletics. /
