Once the gentrification has moved to Vallejo people will change their tune. They always do. Who would have thought 20 years ago that city-data posters would be defending the general safety of Oakland? Funny how opinions change. Sighhhhh.

It already is. Apparently Vallejo is the hottest real estate market in the country.

Nonetheless, I am very glad to hear that Vallejo's housing market is booming, an indication of a much brighter future.

That really depends on what part of Oakland. You have no idea. Seriously. Parts of it can be compared to parts of Beverly Hills.

Hillsborough? Atherton? Portolla Valley? Los altos hills? Woodside? All of those come to mind before Oakland hills or piedmont.

Whether they come to mind first or not, the Oakland Hills has some very posh areas.

According to this ranking, Piedmont is the 15th wealthiest town in the country which isnt bad. LOL
