Hey, hey, that's not fair. The only reason Brooklyn looks more urban in those photos is because Oakland has hills. And the differences between the two places are mere "aesthetics" anyway.
Because Brooklyn is just riding the NYC CBDs' coat-tails
This is not what anyone is saying so spare us the melodrama--what has been proven is that despite whatever urban qualities Brooklyn might possess, Brooklyn is still largely a bedroom community where commuters to Manhattan reside.

And that's in no way different from SF. The commuters to DTSF reside in neighborhoods like the Haight. Therefore, the Haight is a bedroom community.
That's a great picture of the UC Berkeley campus. The photographer goofed LOL.
Here's Oakland. A place that is the number 1 employment destination of the people who live there.
Keep hope alive tho.
I would hope the CITY of Oakland had residents working INSIDE of the city limits. That would be embarrassing don't you think. . . . But the real question is how many people live in the CITY of Oakland but work in San Francisco (or somewhere else in the Bay?) I'll wait for those numbers.
Here's Brooklyn, 1/5th of the Alpha++ city know as New York. (Does it hurt you that I can put New York, New York on my mail & still get it, no matter where in the 5 boroughs?) There's a reason it's called Kings County . . .
