Overview You can't Edit
Users Assigned: KazmiLocated on the Eastern shore of the San Francisco Bay, Oakland is often known as "The Other City by the Bay". With a population of over 415,000, Oakland is the 8th largest city in California. Temperatures are mild with summertime highs averaging in the mid 70s and winter temperatures in the mid fifties.
Despite boasting several affluent neighborhoods, and many very safe ones, Oakland has yet to escape the stigma of its crime rate. However, Oakland is also a diverse and interesting city, with attractions including the Jack London Square waterfront, Lake Merrit, the Chabot Space and Science Center, and Chinatown. Oakland is also well known for its sports teams. The Athletics (baseball), Raiders (football), Golden State Warriors (basketball), and the Slammers (basketball) all draw large crowds.
Oakland is the home to many cultural events, including an international film showcase, and Greek, Mexican and Chinese festivals. According to the 2000 US Census, Oakland is one of the two most diverse cities in the United States, with over 150 languages spoken. Maybe the cultural clashes add to the high crime rate.

BerkeleyBerkeley although begun well before, was incorporated back in 1878 and has grown along with the area, especially due to the University of California at Berkeley. It is widely known as a liberal refuge for crazy hippies, but it also has much more to offer. The University of California at Berkeley is the top public university in the United States and was the birthplace of the Free Speech Movement.
Berkeley is also the birthplace of "California Cuisine", which places an emphasis on fresh, locally grown and raised ingredients. As such, it has some of the best restaurants in the country, including Chez Panisse, which was named the best restaurant in America in 2001 by Gourmet Magazine. Durant cafe has the been fresh-squeezed orange juice in the entire city!
South Berkeley is mainly inhabited by university students and has a grittier, urban feel. North Berkeley and the Berkeley hills are more upscale in comparison, and mainly inhabited by graduate students, professors, and long-term residents.
It’s proximity to San Francisco, Oakland, and Silicon Valley make it an ideal location.Berkeley, CA, USA -
