Richmond 1,281 103,468 3.70%
Hayward 1,079 155,312 2.40%

There you go

Here's Oakland compared to the 10 Safest Cities in California in 2 very impressive factors.

Misleading. Oakland still places 8th on the most dangerous cities list per FBI statistics:

1) New Orleans, La. – 57 0r 64 per 100,000 people

2) St. Louis, Mo. – 47 per 100,000 people

3) Baltimore, Md. – 37 per 100,000 people

4) Birmingham, Ala. – 36 per 100,000 people

5) Jackson, Miss. – 36 per 100,000 people

6) Detroit, Mich. – 34 per 100,000 people

7) Baton Rouge, La. – 30 per 100,000 people

8) Oakland, Calif. – 29 per 100,000 people

9) Flint, Mich. – 28 per 100,000 people

10) Richmond, Calif. – 27 per 100,000 people

As a side note, its interesting that the most educated cities on that list (with the exception of Oakland) are republican strongholds in California. Almost all of them are located in Orange county. Interesting...

You make it sound as if there's something wrong with that. Is this classism, racism, partisanship or all of the above? Regardless, it's most unattractive.

I'm pretty sure that was mentioned because Bay Dude claims to be Black and is obviously not.

Actually BayPretender makes it sound as if there's something wrong with NOT being conservative and in the OC(ick).

And stats prove that life for many of us who arent republican conservatives actually is great.

Contrary to the garbage Im sure is spewed into his ear day in day out by the corporate media.

Well, I'm white, born in San Diego, raised off-and-on (military family) in Orange County -- Newport Beach to be exact -- fiscally conservative, socially moderate and not a member of any party. My life's just fine too!

Ethnicity and political leanings should not, in this country especially, be any help or hindrance to having a fulfilling and enjoyable life.
