This definitely seems to be the case. As for Richmond, I spend a surprising amount of time there, and I see almost no hipsters there. Hilltop, Iron Triangle, Marina Bay, Pt. Richmond... None of those places. It's still too gritty or suburban to appeal to them; I suspect a chunk of East Oakland will gentrify before Richmond does.

Yep, I can see East Oakland gentrifying too, especially around Fruitvale. Fruitvale has all the things a hipster hood needs, not too far out, has a business district to set up hipster shops, and a BART station to get you to all the other hipster hoods quickly.

Isn't West Oakland the newest gentrifying nabe?

And I agree about Richmond: nothing harshes a hipster's mellow more than Contra Costa County.

West Oakland has been gentrifying for years, although on a very slow basis.
