oakland

...Is it as dangerous as I've heard? How's the spange? How're the laws regarding homelessness? If Oakland is not a great idea, are there any better places in NorCal you'd reccomend, and why?

Wrote this one back when I was streeting it in oakland, year out of a fifteen year relationship. Sleeping in round metal containers works wonders on your spine. Was just settling into my new spot last night when 6-7 shots rang out, sounding something like 100 yards away. *DAT DAT DAT DAT DAT...

Looking at going back to the Bay Area for a couple days later this year, everyone I know there has moved on and I'll have my camper (converted 4x4, so not as subtle as a van) with me. I usually try and avoid bigger cities by San Francisco is, among other things, a bit of a nostalgia trip for...

Hello stp ::cat:: Stumbled upon this community while reading up on trainhopping, something I’ve been wanting to try for a while now. I was homeless for about 4 years and now that I’m living in an apartment in Eureka again, I’m getting that stuck, anxious feeling once more. I’m depressed...

I'm in San Francisco right now, and I want to check out Oakland; the anarcho-squatter-punk stuff really entices me, and San Francisco is boring the absolute fuck out of me. But I'm afraid to go there because of all the shit I've heard. So...where should I avoid? Bear in mind that I'm not very...

i just moved out of the bay because my rent was over $1000 a month (considered a steal there by most conventional standards there). but screw that. I want to live there (my bandmate is there as well as all of my artist contacts and friends) and I can't afford/don't want to live there...

Hey everyone i'm Scott from California. I'm originally from the central valley and from 2011- 2015 i've been working a lot of dead end warehouse jobs and really just got tired of a repeatative paycheck to paycheck lifestyle where I always felt trapped and anchored in, it was depressing and it...

I'm moving up to the bay area next week with very limited places to sleep does anyone recommend parks, squats, or hostels to stay in while in the bay? Also i was wondering whats the safest parks to sleep at is Buena Vista safer than Golden Gate Park to sleep at in a sleeping bag with pack?

Wasn't too sure on the best forum to post this in

I squatted with Bam at Hydra House in the Ghost Town neighborhood of Oakland, California. We also hung out at the Qilombo a bit, where this mural of him is. He also squatted the Hole before the Nomads re-cracked it open. Bam was cool. I just found out he was killed in the beginning of this...

I'm definitely going to some of these dates who all wants to come?

There is a pretty rad-looking building a few blocks from where I'm staying now that I'd like to start squatting. It's a bank-owned foreclosure, not on the market, so pretty much an ideal candidate for squatting. If anyone's interested in meeting up and checking it out that would be rad. I'll...

Hey! You guys piled into the coffee shop near Jack London, downtown Oakland, earlier this year. I chatted with two of you for a bit and then you all took off. I ran into a friend who reminded me of you. Did you make it to wherever you were going? Are you still in the US?
