Why are the Warriors in Oakland?

I knew there was a term for your kind!

Troll Caller

Calling somebody a Troll in an online community to suppress criticism, rather than be perceived as a failure, to look and sound stupid, uninformed or unintelligent.
Instead of handling criticism, they became Troll Callers.


Urban Dictionary: Troll Caller

Hey troll caller, please show me my 285 anti Oakland post again. It's great that you chose to ignore it.

Nobody saw that as sarcasm. If that was your intent then you have used it incorrectly. You have nothing to backup your ridiculous claim and now you are backpedaling. Nice job.

Again show me my 285 anti post why don't you? Heck, show me just 50 of them, if you are indeed being sarcastic. Troll caller.

By he way troll you have damn near 50 posts in this thread alone trashing Oakland and the area of the stadium.

I even did you a favor and only asked for 50 anti posts since you now claim it was sarcasm. Well? Go ahead, troll caller.

Forget it. Obviously you can't supply the evidence. All you do is call people troll. You live in some fantasy world with no facts. It's troll this troll that. You've been banned 7 times already and that says a lot about who you are. But in any case, I don't even care. Total waste of time. Keep up with your troll calling crusade, little buddy.

The worst parts of the Deep East are below San Leandro Street (Brookfield Village, SB, etc.) and on/around Bancroft and International.

HP is generally considered to be anything South/East of Ingalls Street. Double Rock (adjacent to Candlestick) is definitely in HP so I don't see how Candlestick is in Bayview.

And some of the projects in HP look fairly new and livable... good luck convincing any of the residents of that. How an area looks and how it is are two different things. I 100% disagree though that the "majority" of East Oakland is in bad condition though... it's more like the opposite. Even when only looking at East Oakland below MacArthur Blvd, much of the area is actually very well maintained.

Maxwell Park
Bella Vista
Highland Park
Ivy Hill
Lynn
Lower Dimond
Lower Laurel
Tuxedo
Reservoir Hills
Bartlett
Durant Manor
Frick (west of Seminary)
Allendale (East of 38th)

East Oakland is not the giant ghetto that the media likes to paint it as. If anything, it's the most diverse part of Oakland in all senses of the word (racially, socioeconomically, etc).

Im not debating you on this. I am not familiar enough with East Oakland. BUT, I have driven through the whole mission/e14/international starting from Fremont and ending in downtown Oakland. I don't know specifically what neighborhoods you mentioned that international runs through but id guess most of them since it cut through the whole EO. And I can easily say that nothing off 3rd st in HP/BV is as bad as some of International.

None of the neighborhoods I mentioned run up against International... they're all between MacArthur and Foothill Blvd. Generally speaking, when talking about the area between Park Blvd and Seminary there's a very large difference between living above and below Foothill. The only exception to this is the area between 14th Ave and Fruitvale, in which case it's preferable to live above E. 27th. The aforementioned neighborhoods are all very much stable working and middle class. They weren't always like that - particularly not Lower Dimond and Lower Laurel - but the community presence is very strong in all of the above. Below Foothill, you see much more of a breakdown of the community presence.

East of Seminary, (in general) the dividing line moves up to MacArthur Blvd. There are exceptions to that - Havenscourt and Durant Manor being the two most notable - but below MacArthur between Church and 106th is very much the hood. Again, there are some pocket areas around 73rd (Holly between 73rd and 77th, Deerwood) but they're adjacent to very rough areas.

On International, it's definitely not somewhere you want to be at night. That being said, there's a wide range of areas on it. the Fruitvale district (Fruitvale-38th) and the Eastlake District (1st-14th) are very different than the San Antonio area (14th-Fruitvale) and the Melrose area (High Street-55th). International Blvd east of Seminary is an entirely different area in terms of population and feel than west of Seminary. When talking about Oakland, it really only make sense to look at the neighborhood level... the difference the 20 blocks between, say, 35th and 55th makes demographically and otherwise makes it somewhat pointless to generalize. As far as 3rd Street goes, it doesn't feel all too different when you're on 3rd & Palou than when you're on International & 85th... the latter may look worse but the exact same stuff happens on 3rd and you see the exact same type of people hanging around.

Look, I'm not saying that East Oakland doesn't merit at least some of its reputation, but it is a much more complex place than certain other posters here are going to give it credit for.
