for a toolbox so outspokenly against "hipsters", your profile hews laughably close to some sad "hipster" okcupid profile:

WizardOfRadical
Biography: Aging skateboarder
Location: Santa Cruz, California
Interests: Skateboarding, snowboarding, and being care free
Occupation: paper pusher
Education: UCSC, SFSU
Sex: MaleMarital/Relationship status: Single
Birthplace: California

and when faced with choosing a username, you literally, of your own volition, typed in the combination of words "WizardOfRadical", and hit enter with self-satisfaction and no sense of embarrassment? seriously?

one shudders at the pile of rejected screen names you discarded in your quest for the perfect city-data forum screen name with which to spew your insecure elitism: "SteamPunkOfCool? nah. AgingTattooedWereWolf? nah. WizardOfRadical? YES!"

I'm not really sure how you could deduce that I was a hipster based off my profile. Wizards of radical was a skate video.

And really, what kind of a name is gummybear? Are you twelve, or just that stuck on molly right now?

Now be a good bay area local and go over analyze your ham sandwhich.

If Oakland (and Sf for that matter) were happy to just "be", the local transplants who live there would not spend their time trying convince everyone that they are Manhattan and Brooklyn.

You got owned on an internet forum and your comeback was neither wizardly. nor particularly radical.

LoL people who get priced out of Oakland do not move to beach towns. Ya Santa Cruz, it is cheaper than Barstow here, LoL

But this all really proves my point. Oakland is just a typical mid sized city. There is not really anything it offers that can't be found in most mid sized cities. I don't think it sucks like say, Fresno. It has high marks on diversity and food, but a high crime rate. Nightlife, amenities, and attractions is where it is lacking. But I am from the LA area. If you don't have something like The Getty, Griffith Park, Rodeo Drive, or a cool beach, it's like why are you talking?

Some how offering an opinion like this gets the homers riled up. Which is odd when you realize half of them probably lived in SF before Oakland and are not CA natives . That's why you don't see people talking about it. Because a half dozen or so posters, who's answer to every inquiry is "move to Oakland" get ready for war. LoL.

dude, pick up your ball and go home. either that or stick to posting extensively about Sac/Granite Bay and how much the Bay Area is filled with transplants. for some one who grew up in El Segundo, you seem to have super extensive knowledge/fascination with the Sac area... weird, but more sad than anything. where in Oakland did you live btw? are you sure it wasn't San Leandro?

I lived in Sacramento when I worked for the Superior Court there. I'm not really sure how that is wierd, sad, or has anything to do with the original post, regarding Oakland and why people are bullied if they say anything negative about Oakland .

Edit:
Why do you care where I live or have lived? You are kinda creeping me out there man, stick to grinder.
